People gain weight due to many reasons, and often, weight gain can cause stubborn fat to accumulate in areas like thighs, arms, hips, etc. Even vigorous exercises and stringent diet don’t usually work when it comes to getting rid of that stubborn fat. Fortunately, established New York plastic surgery offer innovative procedures to help men and women address excess fat and achieve a trimmer, sleeker shape. The latest techniques eliminate unwanted fat and improve body contour without surgery, scars, or downtime.
Traditional liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves incisions in which a tube is inserted into the targeted fatty area. The fat is then sucked out through the tube. While the treatment removes fat permanently, it can be painful and involve significant surgical trauma.
Nonsurgical fat reduction is sometimes referred to as nonsurgical liposuction, but it is not liposuction. Nonsurgical fat reduction break down fat cells selectively in specific areas and seemingly melts the fat away. Nonsurgical fat reduction procedures include those that use heat, laser, sound waves or other energy sources to destroy the fat cells and remove them from the body as metabolic products (www.plasticsurgery.com).
