Liposuction

Looking in the mirror can be a simple habit, a dire addiction, or a source of pain. Glancing at your reflection to make sure your hair is in place, your face is clean and your clothes match is alright, but once it goes beyond that point and you actually start criticizing and disliking your body there may be a problem.

Most people will agree that nobody is perfect, even if it may appear so in the media. We see all these ‘rich and famous’ individuals in their tight dresses and smoking hot bathing suits and forget that these men and women may also have a set of physical demons to deal with. They too are often displeased with their appearance and seek medical attention to repair the blemishes and weight problems they dislike.

It is true that the passage of time and the effects of gravity, combined with weight fluctuations can take a hefty toll on the human body - and soul. Most people can handle their imperfections, but some cannot. They will not feel happy until they regain their youthful hourglass figure or lose that hefty belly that inadvertently grew over the years.

For a few decades now, surgeons have removed unwanted fat bulges through liposuction, a procedure invented by a gynecologist from Rome, Italy, in the mid seventies, and put to use for cosmetic purposes by a French plastic surgeon, a few years later. Liposuction or lipoplasty is used to extract fat from specific regions of the body that may not be responsive to diets or exercise. Because of its effectiveness and ability to restore body contours, it is considered one of the most common cosmetic procedures today.

Alone, or in combination with other cosmetic procedures, liposuction is most commonly performed on areas including the abdomen, thighs and other parts of the legs, the arms, the chin and neck the buttocks and for male breast reduction. The procedure is very simple, yet quite expensive and complications may arise. Some of the known side effects include extensive bruising, infections, allergic reactions to medication or anesthesia, damage to skin or nerves, and excessive fluid loss which can lead to shock and, in some cases, death.

Today, liposuction is not the only procedure offering amazing body make-overs. Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian prefer less invasive and non-surgical treatments such as ‘VelaShape’, which is a revolutionary body enhancing process consisting of infrared light energy, vacuum and mechanical massage, resulting in weight loss.

Since it was first introduced, this ground-breaking rejuvenation method has proven to be effective and has the clinical results to prove it. VelaShape can reduce body fat, tighten skin texture, decrease cellulite and improve skin tone, all without invasive surgical intervention. There are no cuts, no bruising, and no pain, and as an added bonus, it is less draining on your bank account. Modest body changes can be noticed right after the first application and will increase rapidly as the sessions continue. Many believers agree that VelaShape is one of the simplest ways to reshape your body, improve your lifestyle and regain that good feeling you once had about yourself.
