As more and more people work hard towards getting rid of the excess fat there are many surgical options available and one of them is liposuction.
A lot of people work hard to lose weight and mostly they turn to either exercise or dieting. Both definitely help in melting away the fat but there are some areas in the body where the excess fat is tough to shed . It is these areas where liposuction helps a lot . The basic liposuction procedure involves taking out the fat cells which cause the shape of the body to change. Without the help of liposuction burning of the fat requires excessive and disciplined exercising. Most people are not able to do that because of lack of time or because they are advised by the doctor not to do heavy exercises.
Liposuction will get rid of the excess bulges and fat handles all around the body. The popular misconception is that only the stomach area can be effectively reduced with liposuction. This is entirely wrong as liposuction can help reduce fat cells around the waist, abdomen, thighs, hips and back. In some cases it is also used to reduce the heavy breasts that some women have. Liposuction is usually done in multiple stages if the patient is grossly overweight.
For best results the skin of the patient has to be very elastic otherwise there is a danger that the skin will start sagging once the excess fat has been removed. Also your surgeon should be able to tell you what is possible based on your skin condition and your weight.Liposuction is done by making an incision and very small amounts of fat are removed along the line where the incision is made. Then to stop the bleeding a solution is injected in the area. That solution helps in fat extraction. The fat is removed by using a rounded metal object called the cannula. The surgeon will usually make sure that it does not hit the nerves and blood vessels. Based on this it becomes highly important that you select a very qualified surgeon to do the liposuction.
Nowadays there are non-surgical liposuction procedures available where the vibration is used to melt the fat away. So make sure that you know everything about liposuction and select the best liposuction surgeon in your area for that very important surgery.Make sure to improve your eating habits after liposuction is done to stay in shape.
The author has a resource for people looking for cosmetic surgery face lifts. He suggests that potential patients gather all information about cosmetic surgery face lifts before taking plunge.
The first thing I want to point out is that everyone's body is different. Wouldn't it be boring and bizarre if we were all the same :) So the suggestions I am giving are what has, and has not, worked for me.
I have had what is commonly referred to as puffy eyes or bags under the eyes since I was 26; I am now a 34 year old male in very good shape. I've always taken pride in my appearance, so when I started to have daily baggy eyes, it became a concern to me. Naturally, I searched the internet for resources and suggestions. Most of the one's I found said to try putting ice cubes, cucumbers, tea bags, steak or a cold spoon on the problem area. I even came across a couple of suggestions to try Preparation-H :) I have read that the Preparation-H suggestion was actually dangerous, so don't try that.
Which of these worked and which one's didn't? I should also note that I have tried a number of inexpensive, as well as expensive, creme's that are supossed to help puffy eyes. These creme's are usually found at pharmacies and online health and beauty websites. None of these creme's helped me one bit. What has worked best for me is tea (black tea) bags.
What you do is boil water and put 2 tea bags in like you would if you were going to make tea. After brewing for 5 minutes, take the tea bags out...ring out the liquid...and now put them in the freezer. You need to have them cool, but not frozen. I say keep them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Now lay down and apply the tea bags over the puffy areas under your eyes.
I try to leave them on for 15 minutes, turning them over 1/2 way through. After, make sure you rinse off any residue with a cold damp tissue or face cloth.
I find this has helped reduce puffiness, but is no cure. I am strongly considering seeing a certified Plastic Surgeon to get a professional opion on how to more permanently get rid of the excess fat under my eyes.
I have this article and others on my website http://www.plasticsurgerysurgeons.com and links to board certified plastic surgeons for puffy eyes and other plastic surgery procedures.
