There are certain areas on women that tend to accumulate and store more body fat than on men and vice versa. For women it seems the lower body stores more fat than the rest of the body. The buttocks, thighs and hips are the biggest areas of complaint from women. While their abdomen, arms and face might be thin, their lower body has unwanted fat that just won't respond to traditional methods of fat loss. The reason being is that you cannot spot reduce.
Unfortunately, weight goes on unevenly but comes off evenly. What that means is that when you gain weight, you gain in more your susceptible zones, the areas where you tend to store fat. But when you lose weight, it comes off evenly throughout the body. So if you gain in your lower body and then lose weight you will retain the same shape but just a smaller version. It will appear that your lower body is still fat because it is larger than the rest of you. The only way to get the fat completely off is to emaciate other body parts and still you are off balance. It is usually the last 10 pounds that causes this affect and troubles most women. Surgery such as liposuction is often considered to help with the removal of stubborn fat.
When considering surgery, think about it seriously and make sure it is right for you. Laser assisted liposuction has gained popularity due to its low risk. Candidates tend to have 10 pounds to lose in specific areas. A perfect candidate is a woman who has a healthy diet, exercises regularly and is in good health. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia to numb the area to be treated. The patient is awake during the entire procedure which generally takes only an hour per treated area. A tiny cannula, that looks like a hollowed out needle with a laser on the end, is inserted through a tiny incision. The laser heats and melts fat in the treated area then the needle suctions it out. The incision requires no stitches and therefore produces no scarring. It generally blends with skin in two weeks.
This surgery requires no real down time, generally just 2 days of moderate activity. For the hips, thighs, buttocks and knees, a compression garment similar to bike shorts is required to be worn for 3 days and 3 nights. Then the patient wears the shorts for only 8 hours per day for 2 weeks. This prevents swelling and heals the area quicker. Since there is no bruising or scarring, it works well for women who are concerned about aesthetics and who want to show off their newly contoured bodies. Fat from the hips and buttocks is removed and the laser tightens skin, created a smooth, sleek figure. Make sure to get information on areas treated by surgery and a doctor in your area who specializes in this type of surgery.
