Liposuction for All Areas of the Body
Do you ever wonder why people are shaped differently? Why can you weigh the same, eat the same, work out the same amount as your friends and family, but carry your weight in different areas? The way your body carries your weight varies by the individual based on many factors.
Do you carry your weight in your belly? Fat in the stomach area is the result of empty calories and fat from food, especially sugar and refined carbohydrates. Belly fat is carried on two levels. One is close to the surface and the other fat exists deep within the belly. The surface belly fat is the fat that can be successfully targeted with liposuction (laser or traditional liposuction). The only way to reduce the kind of fat that exists deep in the belly is by losing weight with exercise and diet changes.
Do you carry your fat in your thighs? Thigh fat is commonly referred to as saddlebags. The fat that accumulates on the thighs and in the hip area is some of the hardest fat to target with diet and exercise. Genetics and gender are strong components in thigh fat. As you age, you burn fewer daily calories and the fat that settles in the thighs is thicker. As the thighs become thicker, it affects the look of your buttocks. Remove thigh fat with laser or traditional liposuction to make thighs look leaner and to enhance your butt with a more proportionate result.
Do you carry your weight in your buttocks? Genetics and genes are partially to blame for fat that accumulates in your buttocks, but your body shape is to blame as well. Bodies that are pear-shaped tend to carry extra weight in the butt area; however, if your butt is too small to bear extra fat, it may appear larger than it actually is. It is not recommended to undergo liposuction on the buttocks. Doing so will often create saggy skin. However, patients who desire more fat in the buttocks are able to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure to add fat and definition to the area.
Do you carry your fat in your arms? Arm fat accrues because of too much weight gain in the body overall. The arms are often one of the last parts to gain weight because they contain fewer fat cells. Fat will store in arms when there is nowhere else for it to go causing the arms to los definition and sag. There are a few different procedures that can be performed on the arms depending on the amount of fat at the time of surgery. Traditional or laser liposuction can remove the fat. With the SkinTyte laser treatment, the skin can be tightened. Or, a surgical procedure called a brachioplasty may be performed when a large procedure needs to be performed.
Do you carry your fat in your back? Back fat housed in the upper back, flanks, and the bra area can be hard to disguise and cause discomfort in clothing that is ill-fitted. This kind of fat often has a genetic component, but can be reduced in the flank area through diet and exercise. Laser liposuction is the best method to remove the fat in this area in conjunction with the laser tightening treatment.
Carrying fat in any area of the body can be addressed through liposuction (laser or traditional). Depending on the amount of fat to be removed, surgical procedures may be combined to remove excess skin to create the best results.
