The hips on women are one of the first places and most stubborn places to store fat. The reason for this dates back to the cavemen days when fat was stored in case food became scarce. Your stored fat provided you with the energy to get through, possibly days without food. Nowadays, we don't have the problem, yet our bodies do not know it and still store this "emergency" fat.
Women and men alike, have problems with fat int he hip area. The best plan is to change your diet and incorporate an exercise regimen into your daily life. If you already eat a healthy diet and exercise, re-evaluate. The public today is always too quick to take a shortcut when they can reduce fat more safely on their own. A change in an already healthy diet and exercise plan may be just the boost that reduces those last stubborn inches.
If all else fails and you are considering surgery, make sure to do some research and consult with a board accredited physician. Laser liposuction can be a safer surgery to remove fat from the hips. The procedure uses a laser and tiny cannula inserted into the body, hips are firmed, lifted and reduced. With this type of surgery fat loss is permanent.
The laser removes the fat from your hips by gently melting fat with a laser and then suctioning it with a tiny cannula inserted through a very small incision. Laser liposuction also produces skin tightening benefits in the hip area. As we age, our skin sags, making the fat in our hips pull the buttocks downward. Tighter skin will provide a nice lift to both areas, creating a smooth and sleek posterior. The procedure is quick and takes an hour or less to perform. Immediately following surgery patients can walk and are able to leave the hospital in as little as three hours. The fat cells removed from the hips will never come back.
Laser liposuction works best on those under 60 years old and who are following a good exercise and diet plan. The fat removal allows the skin to lay flat against the underlying muscle. Those with rounded, curvy muscles will get amazing results. Those with fat loss of more than 100 pounds or who are over 60 years old, who have some stubborn areas are great candidates as well, however further surgery following laser liposuction, may be required to correct excess skin and sagging.
A compression garment that looks like bike shorts is required to be work following surgery. The garment is worn for three straight days and nights and then for eight consecutive hours a day during the next two weeks. Light to medium activity is allowed following laser liposuction and it could take up to two months to see the final result. Results from laser liposuction are a sleeker more slender figure with beautiful contours. Men and women should use this type of surgery as a last resort after diet and exercise.
