What's Your Female Body Shape Now? You weren't born to have a pear shape body, with lumps and layers of embarrassingly large body fat and now cellulite dimpling as well. Solutions?

Popular Strategy To Lose Stomach Fat And Love Handles - Liposuction. Responding to a burgeoning population of pear shape body types, both women and men, cosmetic surgeons are carrying out more liposuction procedures than ever. Liposuction surgery techniques are well established, offering safety, low health risks, rapid turnaround and recovery times, and affordable costs with many patient financing options. They key body shape benefits from liposuction is that you can "get what you want now", with limited risks however with the ability to streamline your fat tummy by removing up to 9 pounds of body fat in a single procedure. No other treatment strategy can match the gold standard results of liposuction.

To qualify for liposuction, you need a proper health screening exam plus you ought to carry a Body Mass Index of between 23 to 35. Getting a flatter tummy with liposuction includes two general surgery types:-

* Traditional Liposuction. Following local anesthesia into the target fat stomach and love handle region, your board certified surgeon inserts a probe known as a "cannula" under your skin. To minimize scarring, incisions can be Z-shaped. Loose skin as well as targeted stomach fat will be removed via a vacuum suctioning. Operation times vary but think in terms of 1 to 1.5 hours.

* Tumescent Liposuction. An advanced technique for "harvesting" fat more effectively, tumescent liposuction involves the injection of a 3-part solution (saline, local anesthetic, and epinephrine blood regulator) in order to "swell up" individual fat cells so that they can more easily be extracted. Expect somewhat longer operation times than conventional liposuction.

Love Handles Treated Non Surgically. Understand that the "big guns" liposuction surgical approach can deal with larger body fat volumes. However, if you need some more modest body contouring, in order to reshape your fat waist and create a more attractive and curvaceous figure, then explore the exciting new field of non invasive body shape procedures.

* Radio Frequency Will Not Be Music To Your Fat Cells. It's not hip-hop music, but it is "radio frequency" that packs a serious punch to all those body fat cells layered inside your love handles. The short form explanation of this body sculpting technology is that carefully calibrated low energy radio waves can be focused just below your skin...where the fat cells live so that only the fat cells absorb this energy source. Result? Fat cells heat up, the cell structure breaks down, fat turns liquid for natural elimination by your body. And looks? You can significantly reduce your love handles after one or several treatment sessions.

* Ultrasound Those Love Handles For An Improved Female Body Shape. Broadly similar to radio frequency, ultrasound body fat treatments involve the focusing of a narrow bandwidth of ultrasound energy (similar to the ultrasound that you'll think of when seeing pictures of fetuses in the momma's womb). After your love handles and tummy fat cells are disabled, a tiny suctioning device is inserted in order to vacuum out the liquefied fat. Treatments are low impact, relatively fast even over lunch time, without the risk potentials to nerves and connective tissue that conventional liposuction poses.
