Liposuction Vs Dieting

Nobody can escape physical imperfections and until scientists can come up with a cure to stop the natural aging process and the prevention of fat cell build-up, people will just have to find other ways to slenderize their body and maintain their youthful shape. Exercise programs and diets are popular, but not always effective or lasting. They may work for a while, but will lose their effects as soon as every-day stress starts building up again, time for fitness programs starts waning and old quick-fix cheeseburger, pizza and donut eating habits are returning. Before no time, the pounds pack back on and the entire weight loss process must start all over.

The lure of gaining a trimmer tummy, slimmer thighs and beautiful looking hips without dieting and exercise seems an attractive proposition and is probably the key reason why many people turn to liposuction.

Almost anyone fighting a few extra pounds is familiar with liposuction, which is a surgical procedure performed to improve the body's contours by removing excess fat pockets located between the skin and muscle, however, not all those considering it may be ideal candidates. To qualify they have to:
- Be not overly obese
- Have firm elastic skin
- Be healthy and not allergic to anesthetics
- Have deposits of unwanted excess fat
- Be able to afford the expense – this is usually not covered by health insurance.

Anyone considering liposuction should be aware that this procedure is not cheap and prices usually vary. They will greatly depend on:
- Which body part will be altered;
- How big the targeted area is – the legs of a tall person generally require more work than those of a short individual;
- How many sections of the body will be improved – the more sites are worked over, the bigger the discount ;
- Which lipo technique will be used – wet or dry;
- The liposuction surgeon’s rates – all physicians has their own price structure.

Patients will often be tested before they are accepted. They have to be physically and psychologically healthy, be stable and have realistic expectations. During the initial consultation they will also be informed about possible risks, which will increase in proportion to the amount of fat removed and the size of the treated area. Health concerns include bruises, visible scars, infections, nerve damage, and in extreme cases injured and perforated organs, heart failure and death. These are the reasons why many people who want their body sculpted seek alternative, less invasive and much cheaper alternatives such as VelaShape.

VelaShape treatments have become more popular in recent years, and not only because of the many Hollywood celebrities who happily admit they prefer this method over liposuction. Most people favour VelaShape because no surgery is involved, there is no down-time and it is virtually pain-free.

VelaShape works by heating the subcutaneous tissue with Electrical Optical Synergy technology, which consists of simultaneously employing infrared light and radio frequency energy. During the treatment the heat penetrates deep into the adipose tissue, stimulating the metabolism of the fat cells and causing them to shrink. As a result, fat dissolves and skin becomes automatically smoother.

Signing up for VelaShape sessions is one of the most effective and safest methods for cosmetic enhancement, fat and cellulite reduction, improved skin tone, texture and tightness. Is it better than liposuction? That will be up to you to decide!
