Liposuction and the Non Surgica Liposcution called Lipodissolve
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness on May 15th, 2011
The skin baring demanding time of summer may have inspired you to lose the extra weight or it could be that you have grown tired of having to carry those extra fats. However, as someone who has struggled for so many years, you may have already been fed up doing the natural ways in losing weight such as diet and exercise. So you may have looked into liposuction as your only way.
Although it can’t be denied that traditional liposuction revolutionized the way people lose extra weight, the procedure has a very invasive beginning. Multiple incisions have to be made in the parts of the body where fats will be removed and then a metal tube called cannula will be inserted repeatedly to suction out the fats underneath the skin. And since the surgeon will rely on touch and not really seeing what is going on underneath, it was also called a blind procedure. As a result, fats are not removed evenly leaving some skin irregularities such as dents that are visible from the surface. And the procedure makes a patient more prone to side effects such as bruising, swelling and skin discoloration as the body got beaten up in the process. Infection is also a common occurrence as wounds will have to heal first.
Because of that, people looked for liposuction alternatives that will provide them the same results, probably even better but without the invasiveness of it. And it did not take that long before liposuction without surgery became available.
Lipodissolve is the non surgical liposuction alternative that many are getting now. It is also known as the injection lipolysis and that it uses a mixture of chemicals such as lecithin and cholic acid that will be injected to the area that will be treated. It will safely liquefy the fat cells, thus being able to remove it evenly and not causing any skin irregularities. Although, the procedure is found to be more effective in areas of the body that is no larger than the hand it can effectively remove fats from areas such as neck, jowls, stomach and knees.
The mentioned comparison may help you with your decision in choosing which procedure will suit you best. Just ask the surgeon the pros and cons of each so that you will be able to find out which will be more beneficial and more appropriate to your needs.
Liposuction Surgery for a Family Member
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness on March 7th, 2011
When my older sister got out of her teens her eating habits changed very little. The only problem with that is that her metabolism hit the breaks. Very quickly she started to put on the pounds leaving her a puffier version of the girl I once knew. After months of failed dieting and pseudo exercise she knew she needed to take more drastic measures. It was not long after that, she told me that she would be having liposuction to try and put right what her metabolism had worked so hard to destroy.
I didn’t think I would but I became an integral part of my sisters “research team” helping her to find the best type of liposuction for her. Sure, in the beginning I tried to talk her out of it, tell her to eat better, but ultimately it was like talking to a brick wall. I figured, if I can’t talk her out of it, I can at least help find her the best doctor available. After having searched through all the local sites, doctors promises, cost analysis and medical research we ultimately decided on laser liposuction. This is a good procedure that would have targeted her problem areas of stomach and thighs.
Laser liposuction is very similar to ultrasonic liposuction surgery, with one significant difference, FDA approval. Laser liposuction was approved by the FDA in 2006, this gave us a comfort level that the safety and efficacy of the treatment would be safeguarded. Unlike laser liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction is not yet approved by the FDA, this didn’t exactly leave us feeling like this was a safe and reliable option. The procedure it self took a little more than an hour and then another two hours in the recovery room. My sister was in and out in one day with minimal pain and discomfort.
The end result for my sister was rather dramatic. In total she has almost eighteen pounds removed from her stomach, thighs and buttock. She looks ten years younger and her confidence seems to be boosted as well. In addition to looking better she is also eating better so that she can maintain her investment in her body. She loved her procedure and is already recommending her doctor to friends.
Machines used in Laser Liposuction
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness on March 7th, 2011
Laser liposuction has come a long way since experts have discovered this non surgical liposuction technique. This resulted to the manufacturing of various machines for laser fat removal in virtually all parts of the body.
As of now, there are four (4) brands out there in the market that is enjoying the limelight. They are the Lumislim, Strawberry Lipo, Zerona and I-lipo. All of the said machines function similarly and have been proven to be effective to rid people of unwanted fats.
Lumislim machine is made up of four (4) treatment pads which have laser diodes. The pads will be placed on the areas of the body where the patient wishes fats to be removed. Then the two laser probes of the machine will be placed on the nearest lymph nodes to the sites that will be treated. This will help facilitate the lymphatic drainage of the fat.
On the other hand, the Strawberry liposuction machine is said to be effective in getting rid of fats but also will help eliminate the appearance of stretch marks. It is also said to even reduce the eyebags and help one person to stop smoking. It works like any other laser liposuction machine that uses the technology of laser to zap fats away with the additional benefits that its press release claims.
While Zerona is a laser liposuction machine that is used for non invasive body contouring procedure. It is similar to the other popular cold laser liposuction machines. In the studies made, Zerona is an effective cold laser liposuction machine that really helps eliminate fats and aids a person to lose weight.
The last of the laser liposuction machines is the I-lipo. The system of this machine is just the same with the other machines although the effect of it has a different explanation. The process of this machine is called “photobiomodulation” that alters the natural chemistry of the adipose cells and forces it to express the fatty acids that are stored.
All the said machines share the similar function and that is the laser fat removal. These machines provide non surgical liposuction that only varies with the additional benefits they have for the patient. Ask your surgeon about the advantages and disadvantages of it so you will have an easier decision making to do.

Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness on December 3rd, 2010
When you are considering liposuction weight loss, expect that it can really be expensive. The procedure will require you to plan and prepare ahead of time so that you will be both physically and financially ready when the right time comes. However, if you are looking for ways to make it cheaper so that you can have the surgery right away, considering cheap liposuction is not a good idea. You have to be sure that you are getting a quality service from liposuction clinics offering cheap lipo surgery. Doing a bit of research about those clinics and the expertise of their surgeons will help you decide if cheap lipo will do you good or just put your life at risk. Remember that liposuction is a surgical procedure with fatal complications if done erroneously by surgeons lacking special training and expertise.
Making Liposuction More Affordable
If you are scared of considering cheap lipo because of the significant risk involve, there are several ways you can make an expensive liposuction cheaper and more affordable to pay. First, look for a surgeon who knows you personally or a surgeon recommended by a friend. This way you may be able to get special discounts. Second, some surgeon will charge you according to the amount of fat to be removed, the area and the number of areas to be treated in one season. To be able to save, you can ask the surgeon if he/she can offer you a package deal or 3 or more areas for just one price. However, if it is not available, you just have to consider liposuction on the most visible area and have the others areas done next time. Lastly, search for clinics and surgeons offering liposuction financing. This will allow you to make monthly payments instead paying the entire cost of liposuction in full. Also, there are financing for liposuction available from online financial institution. Search for them, compare the rates and choose one which offer lower rates on their liposuction surgical loan.
How does water and laser lipo work?
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness on July 16th, 2010
In this day and age, it is not uncommon for people to undergo liposuction treatment. Currently, the number of new liposuction techniques is quite varied, which might be confusing to some people. Hence, the article below attempt to make clear the variations between some of the more recent liposuction procedures.
The common thing about these new techniques is that they will attempt to liquify the fats before the actual fat removal. The reason for doing this is reduce the impact of the fat extraction process. How the melting process is administered is where the main differences lies between the various techniques.
The first procedure we are introducing is called laser liposuction. It leverages a tiny cannula that has a laser device for the softening of the fats before the fat extraction. Due to laser being so targeted, there is less bruising and internal injuries. However, overheating from the laser might cause some internal burns if the surgeon is not experienced in controlling the power of the laser.
Another new technique that was bought to the market is the slim lipo. SLIM actually represents the terms “specific laser induced melting” and is based on five years of research. According to slim lipo reviews, this technique is able to release more heat energy relative to laser lipo due to with wider area of emission. A wider area implies that the power of the laser can be minimized, which lessens the chances of being afflicted of any burns.
In addition to laser based lipo, there is also the newly introduced water lipo. Unlike laser, how water lipo works is to make use of powerful jets of water to conduct the fat softening. Relative to laser lipo, water lipo is not likely to cause any heat related internal injuries. The reason is due to the fact that only kinetic, rather than heat energy is emitted. Unfortunately, there is a lack of strong support to its effectiveness
The Risks of Laser Liposuction
Posted by admin in Health & Fitness on October 8th, 2009
Much of the benefits of laser liposuction is that it reduces or eliminates many of the common risks that come with traditional liposuction. This is due to the fact that the technique of using a laser to destroy fat cells is very much less traumatic than the violent technique of the traditional method. However, with the new laser technique there are new risks that come with it. Many people don’t like to talk about the risk that comes specifically from laser liposuction because clinics like to advertise why laser is better than therefore they must be the better clinic because they use laser. It is possible for a poorly skilled surgeon to use the laser too aggressively in one area causing burns to the surrounding tissue as well as the overlying skin. This and most other risks are rare and can be reduced when proper techniques are followed.
How Much Does Liposuction Cost: Ask Your Doctor
Posted by admin in Health & Fitness on September 10th, 2009
Generally, ultrasonic liposuction uses vibrations that break down the fats before they are removed through the canulla. These are faster procedures especially when larger canulla are used however smaller canulla are preferred to minimize the size of ridges that form after the fats are suctioned. The last technique would be the Tumiscent Method with its variations called hydroliposculpture. This is the only one technique performed in an office-based location and most commonly used by dermatologists. It is by far the cheapest and with the most minimal blood loss and risks. It also gives desirable effects and fastest recovery period that is usually within 1-4 days. This technique uses smaller canulla which leaves smaller ridges on the skin. The advantage this technique is that it is the least comfortably executed to patients. It actually has the longest-lasting pain which the other procedures do not have. The costs of the procedures are usually at a thousand dollars to up to ten, depending on how many procedures should one undertake to completely remove all the excess fats and as to how big the problem area is to be dealt with. How much does liposuction cost? It is necessary to consult the doctor about the options to maximize results with the least possible costs. Insurance providers do not cover liposuction cost except on rare occasions.
Liposuction Financing
Posted by admin in Health & Fitness on September 3rd, 2009
Some people might think that getting into debt to cover the cost of an elective cosmetic enhancement procedure such as liposuction a poor financial decision. But as individuals everyone has the right to make their own decisions and different people have different values. Most clinics will offer to carry the financing if a patient cannot afford the cost of liposuction. In other cases, most surgeons have working relationships with local financing companies that they will refer their patients to. These companies make it their business to provide financing to cover liposuction and other cosmetic surgery procedures. Liposuction financing is the only alternative to paying upfront for many people because most cosmetic surgeries are not covered by their health insurance. There are also companies who focus on working with client who have medical insurance that doesn’t cover the cost of their procedure.
Some Thoughts On Laser Liposuction
Posted by admin in Health & Fitness on June 12th, 2009
When a lot of people think of laser liposuction, they normally think of fat being removed from the stomach, but you can use liposuction to remove fat from many different places on your body. For example, in your thighs, neck, arms and your back. In most places the amount of fat that is removed is a little bit less than 10lbs, but it just depends where you are and who your doctor is. Although there are advantages to getting lipo, there are lots of disadvantages too. You could end with lumps, and people who get lipo to much, or over sucked, end up with dents in their skin. That usually ends up with the patient trying to sue the doctor, and then there is a big ugly law suit. When doctors get law suits against them, it makes people not want to go to them, then they loose business, and sometimes they cry.
