Quick look at Non-Surgical Alternatives of Liposuction

Liposuction is typically done for a few different reasons. The biggest is to trim off weight and size, while the next biggest is to fight saggy and dimpled deposits on the rear. Many patients that undergo liposuction do not need the procedure, in fact like all other cosmetic procedures, liposuction is completely elective. The fact that you have to be fully sedated, or put under is a major reason that many people search for alternative methods of dealing with excess fat.



Exercise is the oldest and safest method of dealing with excess.

No matter where the deposits are, there is an exercise and diet that can help target the fat. It is not the quickest method of removal, but it is the most trusted and tested method. If a patient is struggling to loose any amount of weight, they can first talk with their cosmetic surgeon regarding the matter. Referral to a dietician can help the patient examine their lifestyle and eating habits and make changes that will lead to a better life. Once the diet is under control, exercise can be added and modified to help work and fit into their lifestyle. At times, a dietician and doctor may approve or suggest supplements to help further enhance the results of the weight loss. One of the best benefits to using diet and exercise is that loosing the weight slowly allows the skin to regain its proper shape. People who drop weight too quickly often end up requiring operations to help reduce the bagging skin that develops.


For those too impatient to lose it the old fashioned way:


There are alternatives to traditional liposuction that do not require patients to be put under the knife. These methods tend to include the use of things such as: lasers, cold, and ultrasound. Each of them have their own pros and cons, though most are regarded as less than potentially ideal in terms of results. All forms of liposuction, both new and old, deal with destroying cells. You are literally damaging your body intentionally to try and reduce the size and appearance of fatty formations. No two patients are the same and there is no guarantee that the results will be as good as another person’s. Many of the patient images you see are from people who could have gotten the same results of flat and well shaped stomachs from the old fashioned method, in some cases even within the same time frame. Freezing for example takes months for the results to show up, and from injectable solutions, you can have adverse reactions weeks afterward.
