We call that fat on the sides of he hips, love handles. But they are hardly lovable. And men hate it when they get them, because they seem to be the hardest to lose. Men in general store fat in the midsection and love handles inevitably appear as men age or if they lead a sedentary lifestyle. While there is more to love and hug, most men want to be lean and hard, with a six pack if possible. But for most it seems impossible.
Areas like the love handles are places on the body where fat is stored and where it is reduced last during a weight loss attempt. Sometimes no matter how much dieting or exercising is done, those spots linger. Liposuction has been helpful in removing excess fat but is painful with bruising and swelling as side effects. Laser liposuction is growing more popular with those who are in good health but who have stubborn areas of fat that they just cannot lose.
The surgery uses a local anesthetic instead of general anesthesia. A tiny hollowed out needle, called a cannula, is equipped with a laser and inserted under the skin. It melts the fat gently until it liquidizes and then the cannula suctions it out. With tiny incision points sutures are not required, therefore reducing scarring. The patient's recovery time less than 48 hours and without pain, blood and scarring, patients are able to leave the hospital within 3 hours of surgery. A compression garment is required to be worn for the three days following surgery, 24 hours per day. After that some body parts parts, particularly the lower body, require the compression garment to be worn for at least 8 hours per day for the next two weeks. Pain medication is usually not necessary, but if any pain occurs, over the counter remedies can take care of it.
Fat removal is permanent with laser assisted liposuction. As adults we do not create more fat cells, we only have what we got. Once those fat cells are taken, they will not grow back. You do still have fat cells in other areas are still, so eating healthy, exercising and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is still essential if you do not want to gain weight elsewhere. Fat removal surgery should be used as a last resort when all else fails in reducing fat in certain areas. The result is lasting and produces a sleek, toned midsection. Live healthy and be healthy.
