(More Than) Another Reason To Have A Liposuction

I suppose prostate cancer should make for a very good reason why patients need to veer away from putting on weight.

A study published in the journal Urology recently unveiled that doctors were more likely to miss seeing tumors in the screening results of male obese patients for prostate cancer testing. Doctors found out that they needed to do a lot of adjustment before they could deduce the presence or severity of the tumor.

To improve your body and reduce excessive fat mass, a liposuction procedure can prove to be very useful. Not only does this cosmetic surgery give you a body that feels lighter, it can also help in the easier detection and treatment of various diseases and health problems.

Prostate cancer makes for just one of the reasons why you need to pay more attention to alleviating your weight.

For a thorough and complete checkup of your obesity level, you can visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California. Expert consultants and plastic surgeons that are trained and certified for a liposuction surgery can check your suitability for this procedure.

Of Liposuction And Gorgeous Radio Jockeys

Nobody really knows what half the radio jockeys on air look like. Of course, there is some curiosity but stuff like a good voice, witty repartee and an amazing capacity to listen to what the audience is saying always surpass the look factor.

Wendy Williams of the "Wendy Williams Experience", however, is one radio jockey that you wouldn't mind looking twice at. This 43-year-old is as full-figured as they come with curves and dips in the right places. Reaching out to her audience with remarkable honesty and brashness, Wendy admits owing her lovely figure to some clever cosmetic surgery choices.

Rebelling against the usual weight loss method of diet and exercise that she was sure her parents would have advised, Wendy opted for a liposuction after her breast augmentation. She says, "Who the hell wants to diet and exercise when you can have liposuction. I didn't want to wait. I wanted my new body now."

The initial liposuction procedures Wendy had were to remove fat from her abdominal and thigh regions with regular follow-up treatments to stay in shape over the years.

While liposuction surgery is a great way to reduce fat, it is not really recommended to have multiple procedures as a substitute for exercise. What Wendy needs to pay attention to is that liposuction can only reduce fat- it does nothing for keeping the muscle content of the body fit.

Some sort of workout is essential if you want your liposuctioned body to stay fit.

Understanding Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy has been around for over 50 years now with Zsa Zsa Pallido, Britney Spears and a host of Hollywood starlets believed to have undergone such a cosmetic treatment to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Mesotherapy is widely viewed as a liposuction surgery alternative and is usually offered as a minimally invasive choice for those looking to bust dimpled, cellulite-ridden skin and to sculpt their body. Applied also for hair revitalization and scar revision treatments, mesotherapy is a very diverse cosmetic surgery treatment.

Generally speaking, any medicine that is injected into the mesoderm of the patient's skin is termed as mesotherapy. The injectable mixture normally consists of homeopathic medications, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antibiotics, and unlike liposuction procedures,  the treatments stick to a surgery-free process.

Generally, two or three sittings are required before the effects begin to appear but many patients find the needle administration process painful and long drawn. Additionally, the costs involving multiple mesotherapy treatments make individuals prefer a liposuction surgery.

The ASPS does not recognize mesotherapy as an established fat reduction treatment or view it as a successful alternative to liposuction. This is partly due to the lack of sufficient data on this treatment and also the fact that the drugs used for the medication have not all been approved by the FDA.

Corey Feldman Has Liposuction To Look Good On TV

And I'm pretty sure that's not all he had!

Corey Feldman, one-time child actor and currently a reality TV star with his celeb-brother, Corey Haim had liposuction surgery to gear up for a new TV role. We still do not know what the role is all about, but if he is having cosmetic surgery for it, it sure must be meaty!

Incidentally, 36-year-old Corey is said to have been inspired by his wife's breast augmentation.  Apparently, he was so blown over with the quality of work she had done that he went ahead and booked an appointment with the plastic surgeon.

Now how many women can claim to have inspired their men to have plastic surgery? Exactly.

According to Feldman's rep, "Corey had a couple little trouble spots that he needed taking care of - so he did. And he feels a lot better now because of it." In my opinion, this makes for a much better reason to have a liposuction procedure.

Currently, liposuction is one of the top five cosmetic surgery procedures for men in the United States and many have even admitted to having had a surgery to take care of middle-age weight.

How About A Tucked Body To Match Your Face Lift, Joan Collins?

This 75-year-old actress, writer and socialite has been around for the longest time in showbiz and looks just as stunning now as she did years ago when she made her 16-year-old debut on the silver screen.

It would be natural to think that Joan's good looks have been preserved with the help of plastic surgery (face lift, fillers, etc.), but the vehemence with which she denies these rumors is strong. In an interview she gave last year Joan says, "Everyone should do what they want. If they want lips like a trout let them. Plastic surgery is the plain women's revenge."

Not a surprising view at all- many actors and socialites tout the same lines every time someone pops them a question about cosmetic surgery.

For Joan however, it could simply be a matter of tending to the face and letting the rest of her body age gracefully.

There are women who go in for a complete body lift at the age of 75 though with various procedures like liposuction surgery or a breast lift or an arm lift and a neck lift. While these procedures can and have been performed successfully on people of this age, it would be better to consider all the pros and cons of a major elective surgery like liposuction.

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to know more about liposuction procedures and view liposuction pictures of patients of this age. Our plastic surgeons and consultants can address all your doubts.

Electricity As A Liposuction Alternative?

Disclaimer: This news article does not come from a mad scientist's laboratory.

Jokes apart, in what seems to be a revolutionary step, a clinic in Springfield uses a technology called Arasys treatment in order to stimulate the body's metabolism into functioning as a weight loss trigger. The sensation, according to one user felt like an electric toothbrush on her skin and left her 'speechless'.

The technicians who work the machine make use of a person's BMI, height, weight and body fat to predict the number of sessions required to reach the ideal index. The process is viewed as an alternative to liposuction and is believed to be equivalent to doing 1,500 sit-ups.

Such cosmetic surgery 'alternatives' are not new though.

A machine called Maestro works on similar lines, and uses electricity to periodically block transmission on the digestion-controlling vagus nerve. Experts on bariatric surgery claim that such technology is much safer than a Gastric Bypass Procedure.

Another weight loss system and liposuction surgery alternative, Slendertone Flex is a much older player in this market and is even FDA approved. This device was modeled on the lines of a toning belt and is said to reduce weight in the abdominal area by causing the tummy muscles to contract.

Rigorous testing is required before any of these electricity or battery powered weight loss contraptions are actually made use of to reduce significant fat content. A lot of physicians and plastic surgeons are optimistic about this emerging area though especially for use by patients who do not respond to any particular weight loss plan.

Can Fruits Really Make You Fat?

When people want to lose weight they generally go on a diet. Eating in moderation or in extremity, juice and pasta, detox diets, etc. the avenues pursued are countless.

There are even people who swear by fruit diets and exist only on fruits. If recent studies are anything to go by, this latter group of dieters could be in jeopardy. The research, conducted by US scientists found fructose- a naturally occurring sugar in fresh fruits and honey among other things, to be more harmful than glucose.

If this research is to be given weight it could mean a potential deterrent to such weight loss efforts.

This, in turn would naturally affect liposuction statistics as well as it is one of the quickest ways to lose excess flab (over here put on by fructose in the mid-riff area in such a diet). Normally dietitians and cosmetic surgeons don't encourage overweight individuals to pursue liposuction surgery as a weight loss option.

But in cases where the excess weight cannot be discarded by regular exercise and diet a liposuction procedure is considered to be an excellent course of action.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we do not discount such studies and research as obesity and the problems caused due to it are one of the reasons why individuals opt for a liposuction surgery.

We are affiliated with professional dietitians as well in case you need help in maintaining your post-surgery figure or physique.

 

David Beckham’s Dee-lish (but fake) Body

Just look at him. Not a spare ounce of fat or an unruly love handle on him. David Beckham for what its worth, looks like god's very own and personalized gift to women!

 

The football star turned underwear model preened and posed for the camera to grace the 2008 autumn/winter collection campaign for Emporio Armani. While women all over the world are gawking and drooling at his yumminess, the men are displaying varying tones of envy and contempt.

 

Envy for David Beckham's liposuction spokesperson body and contempt for his 'package' which I have to admit looks very exaggerated. Rumors are flying that his manhood is enormously augmented and heavily airbrushed.

 

Either way, there is no need to worry if David has been padded as he's only carrying on a longstanding tradition among male underwear models. Sadly more men than women attribute a large size to being one of the 'signs' of masculinity.

 

Small wonder then cosmetic surgeons specializing in penile enlargements find such brisk business and so many takers.

 

While we don't really offer the above procedure, we can help you out with liposuction procedures for a lean and mean body like Beckham's. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California know just how to take out fat from certain areas of the male body and add volume to others lacking in it.

Liposuction Tip: Savor Your Relationship With Your Food

Take a bite (a small one), taste it, chew it thoroughly and then gulp it down. A small, useful and very necessary process, there is more than you think to eating,

 

According to researchers at Duke Integrative Medicine a division of Duke University Health System, an individual should first ask himself if he is hungry and rate his hunger on a scale of 1 to 7, 1 being starving and 7, stuffed. Ideally, you ought to halt eating just before you stuff yourself.

 

Following this practice is supposed to help people consume a lesser quantity of food and keep themselves satiated. The researchers call this process 'Mindful Eating'.

 

While this study does not give any definite proof and help for weight loss there are a few paragons who have reported a decrease in weight. Worth a try for those who want to skip options like liposuction surgery.

 

To its credit, liposuction presents a more long term and visible flab-reducing alternative for those who wish to shed the pounds. Yet the cosmetic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California suggest candidates try natural weight loss options before opting for cosmetic surgery.

 

Not only does such a practice help people regulate their lifestyles, it also starts them on the road to weight control which is a must after a liposuction procedure. If you don't control your weight, you are more likely to lose the effects of the procedure.

Brigitte Nielson – Liposuction Spokesperson?

The buxom Dane has never struck me as the liposuction type and always seemed more of a breast surgery model with her 36-C cup.

Brigitte is going and getting herself a liposuction surgery though in an effort to banish the stain on plastic surgery. Set to star in a reality series that will document her liposuction and other cosmetic enhancements, Brigitte thinks that the secrecy surrounding cosmetic surgery in Hollywood is annoying.

With her liposuction documented and televised for the world to see, Brigitte thinks she is on the right track. She says, “It’s not right that the fans, the normal women, are lied to.”

Whether she proves it to the world that cosmetic surgery is a normal thing for people to indulge in or not, I am a bit skeptical about her need to have a liposuction procedure. For a 44-year-old Brigitte looks pretty damn fine and hasn’t lost a bit of that sizzle that saw her riding on the wings of success in the 90’s.

For liposuction at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, all you need is a body that has enough stubborn fat which is in absolutely vital need to trim off. Reasons to have a liposuction surgery generally include excess weight, medical reasons and at times cosmetic correction as well.

While we don’t televise your lipoplasty to the whole world, we do ask you if you want a record (before and after liposuction pictures) of your liposuction surgery. We take privacy very seriously at our advanced surgical institute.

Matt Damon Needs A Liposuction!

I’m sure most of you watched the Bourne Identity and all the sequels to it. Matt Damon exercised and worked out a lot for the role and his hard work paid off with a body that looked like it was built for heavyweight wrestling.

Matt is a regular family man and fitness enthusiast though and admits to having a schedule consisting of only exercise, sleep and work prior to his baby. If it weren’t for his meaty role in The Informant, his weight gain would have been very shocking.

Thankfully, prosthetic body suits and clever makeup do the job of piling on the pounds for these actors. Matt would have had to go in for a cosmetic surgery like liposuction to get rid of the excess baggage otherwise. Somehow I feel he would rather end up on the treadmill than the cosmetic surgeon’s table.

I am on the mark here because aging Hollywood star Mickey Rourke advised the 37-year-old actor to stay off plastic surgery and unprofessional behavior when in the acting business. Something that Matt Damon is taking to heart.

Let’s see how far Matt Damon stays liposuction surgery-free and how soon he drops the pounds after he wraps up The Informant.

Does Kim Kardashian Need To Work Out?

Probably the only woman to give Jennifer Lopez a run for her money, Kim Kardashian is right on top in the booty-licious list.

The socialite’s backside, in my opinion, has courted more controversy than her sex tapes and is one asset Kim has to defend regularly. Everything from fat transfer liposuction surgery to prosthetic buttock implants and aids have been hinted at.

While Kim’s butt is not really going to be on the line from saving the world from wildfires, it is going to feature heavily in a workout video that will save many women from letting their bodies go.

Kim has released the fitness video in collaboration with her trainer Kathy Kaehler and the public has mixed reactions, which is predictable. While some veer towards the nasty given her attention-grabbing exploits, others are of the opinion that she isn’t really a fitness role model.

I have to agree with the latter group here as Kim is very notorious for her preference for cosmetic surgery and maintaining her appearance with its help. Just last month she had a cellulite reducing surgery and her breast enhancement is no secret.

What do you think? Is Kim Kardashian a fitness role-model or a liposuction and plastic surgery role-model? Send your views to the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Liposuction -Think About It, Go For It

“It’s very difficult for me to decide, if I need to slim down or stay the way I am. Some people (the thin ones) have it lucky and are evaluated positively, while others (like me) are criticized on the basis of their body-type. But, I don’t need to pay attention to the world. I am happy with myself.” This is what 36-year-old Martha had to say when she was overweight and in her pre-liposuction days. Today, with our help she has transformed herself into a svelte, confident mother of two.

In my opinion, excuses like Martha’s go down the drain when that inner voice sneaks out on you ordering, “Stop pretending!”. Even when you decide to listen to it, all you generally do is mislay a lot of energy through rigorous exercises and so-called healthy diets.

Let me tell you that there are other methods of losing weight.

Plastic surgery for instance, has splendid options like liposuction- a very popular weight loss treatment. It is a surgical procedure that vacuums fat deposits from under the skin and discards it. Very frequently liposuction is combined with cosmetic surgery procedures such as a facelift and neck lift.

A tummy tuck surgery and lower body lift often accompany a liposuction procedure as well. For some patients a combination liposuction surgery gives unambiguous results and is completely worth it.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California has a very good record of handling patients who wish to undergo any kind of cosmetic surgery. If like Martha you too want to think hard about your weight problems get in touch with our liposuction consultants.

Nicole Richie’s Liposuction-free Life

Nicole Richie is going great guns these days, what with baby Harlow and supporting all her pet charities and all.

Nicole has come far from her Simple Life days, where her claim to fame was as Paris Hilton’s BFF and as Lionel Richie’s daughter. Post-television and a baby with fiancé Joel Madden, member of Good Charlotte, she finally seems to have found a role she is comfortable in and respected for- a mother.

Nicole hasn’t always been this grounded though- after all she was under Paris Hilton’s wings. During her early pregnancy period, she was still looking like a sack of bones and was criticized for her lack of personal health. Nicole then, had to yet get over the anorexic image she had cultivated.

Today, she looks less so and more like a women who has come to terms with her body and herself. She didn’t require any plastic surgery either to get back in shape, though I d doubt she is going to have something like liposuction surgery or any lower body modification.

During one episode of Simple Life, Nicole was asked to hold back a woman who was having a liposuction procedure and the experience was so ‘terrifying’ that it made her swear off any liposuction in the future.

Oh well, not like she needs any with her naturally thin frame. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we only treat patients who have a significant amount of unwanted, excess fat they want to discard for a liposuction.

If Charlie Sheen Had Liposuction…

…Denise Richards would have some thing prettier to aim her shoe at in court.

But jokes apart, Charlie looks pretty worse for wear in pictures of him with his new wife on their Costa Rica holiday.

Sitting next to his 30-year-old wife, 42-year-old Charlie looks absolutely old and outdated and very much the cantankerous husband Brooke makes him out to be. Methinks a liposuction surgery here and a tuck there would zap all that middle-age flab hanging off him.

A thigh liposuction and lower body lift would do just the trick to get his lower half in shape. His belly region would also benefit with some tummy toning after a liposuction.

Charlie’s marriage pics are no better and show him looking decidedly dowdy standing next to the sparkling and glowing Brooke Mueller. After all the mud-slinging that went on during the divorce proceedings with his ex-wife, you would think Charlie might have wanted to do some damage repair with his image.

But Denise takes the cake for self-salvaging with her looking smashing in her new reality show It’s Complicated. Here’s one person who won’t be needing liposuction in a hurry now.

Eek…Fat’s Here To Stay!

Twenty is a time when a person is on the threshold of adulthood and should be a period where the body has more or less settled into a natural shape and rhythm. But if the new study on fat is anything to go by, 20 could just symbolize a prolonging of teenage growing up pangs.

The study conducted by the team at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California found that the fat cells present in the body since birth are more or less the fixed number of cells that see us till the end of our days.

The eating habits and exercise followed by children were also found to affect the level of obesity or lack of it in adults.

While this could be good news for genetically thin children, it could be terrible for chubby ones. Researchers suggest that obesity control should begin from a young age so that by twenty, the person is left with a controlled number of fat cells.

It’s still a work in progress though and while I wonder about the effects it could have on children, I am left hoping that it turns out to be a better option than liposuction for young teens.

Liposuction procedures when performed on young adults as a way to control obesity has been performed successfully by plastic surgeons but is viewed as more of a last resort. Here’s hoping studies like these throw some more light on fat control.

The Donda West Effect On Liposuction

When Kanye West’s mother succumbed to plastic surgery complications a hornet’s nest was released in international cosmetic surgery circles.

Mrs. West’s death is believed to be the result of a doctor’s inability to see through her heart disease and yet go ahead with a multiple plastic surgery operation. One of the treatments she had was a liposuction procedure.

Liposuction is a major elective cosmetic surgery as is well known and unless the patients have not got past the rigorous screening they are considered ineligible for treatment. Mrs. West was believed to have consulted an independent plastic surgeon who advised her against the surgery before she went to the doctor who would ultimately operate on her.

Lawmakers are currently pushing for a bill that could help avoid such unfortunate cases and put cosmetic surgery practices under stringent measures. The Donda West Bill has already been introduced and it requires the patient to produce a clean bill of health before being considered for liposuction or any other surgery.

In neighboring Canada, a similar torrent of medical checks and certifications have been in amendment following the death of a woman due to liposuction surgery complications.

Rather then being apprehensive about these measures, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California is pleased with the calls for better facilities and a higher level of professionalism in the practice. Visit us to know how you can benefit from the Donda West Effect.

Liposuction Or Lipocontour – Which Is Better?

Lasers have done much towards introducing amendments and advances in liposuction surgery and lipocountouring has left a similar mark on the cosmetic surgery procedure.

Lipocontour or lipo-selection, unlike the body contouring garments by the same name, is an excellent way to get rid of fat deposits from localized parts of your body. However, this minimally invasive technique applies ultrasound techniques rather than laser.

Going by names like LipoContour and VASER Lipo, lipolysis systems are great at attacking those precise areas of the body where fat is unusually stubborn and unwanted. These liposuction approaches differentiate fat deposits from the surrounding tissue, blood vessels and nerves.

While some lipo-selection systems liquefy fat before suctioning it out from the body, some simply remove it out. The incisions made for the liposuction surgery are very negligible and are made in those places where the patient needs to slim down more.

It is better to follow your plastic surgeon’s advice on this liposuction technique though as he will be able to show you the bigger picture and how it will affect your body overall.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we operate patients and administer such treatments only if the procedures have been tried and tested. For a full diagnosis you can get in touch with any of our experienced liposuction consultants who will then direct you to a board certified plastic surgeon.

Liposuction Help - Putting Fat To Good Use

Fat can be really good for you and doesn’t have to be the foe to fear at all, even if you are a tad overweight. With the help of some cosmetic liposuction and select body contouring procedures, your plastic surgeon can help you put fat to good use in various parts of your body that lack or require it.

Furthermore, the results can be very attractive as well if used in the face. Fat transfer procedures started out as fillers for the facial area and added volume to sunken cheeks and wrinkly scars.

Plastic surgeons moved on to put fat to much grander uses by augmenting the buttocks, biceps, hands, breasts and calves with it. The great part about a fat transfer using fat removed from a liposuction procedure is that it’s your own body fat.

You aren’t damaging the environment in any way and neither are you exposing yourself to any potential infection known to come (at times) with synthetic implants. The only point against this plastic surgery procedure is that the fat that is transplanted gets absorbed by the body.

Only about 40 percent or so of the fat that is transferred remains in place calling for a repeat procedure. This can turn out to be a good thing though if your body contains excessive amounts of fat.

So don’t wait to burn off fat, recycle it at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California with a liposuction procedure.

Christian Bale, Liposuction & Milk

How Va va Voom does Christian Bale look in the Body by Milk ad eh?

The Bat-suit is looking edgier this time around with 34-year-old Bale tamping out his pretty-boy looks for the brooding Dark Knight. Of course it goes without saying that to get into the Bat-suit you have to be super-fit (hey, that’s what superheroes have to be!).

Not many people can roam all the time in a superhero suit with contours that match (or don’t) the ones on their body though. This is why liposuction procedures like liposculpture and abdominal etching are a blessing of sorts for the abs- and pectorally-challenged.

What these procedures do is work on the fat that’s present in the abdominal region using liposuction surgery techniques. One cannula is used to remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal region and another is used to create faux abs.

While actual muscle tissue is not manipulated to create the grooves in the abdominal area, the liposuction surgeon works on the fat in the area. So your tummy looks like it has actual abs- only they are made of fat.

Complete results are obtained within six months of the procedure when the cuts can be viewed very prominently. However, certain cases are known to display the effects much sooner. Exercise and weight maintenance plays a major role here.

Listen to Christian Bale and guzzle up foods rich in protein like cottage cheese, milk, fish, eggs and pulses.

Is America Winning The War Against Obesity?

Very soon children like Amy (see below) won’t have to think about a liposuction surgery to control a swelling body. Very soon pre-teens will have healthier eating habits and will be better at exercising.

These goals don’t seem lofty anymore and could actually be eventualities we can learn to expect of the current obesity trends are anything to go by. The findings reported by The Journal of the American Medical Association laid bare the data gathered by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last Wednesday.

The study finds that obesity among American children has reached a stalemate and some factions think it may be due to all those anti-obesity campaigns. However, the study also noted that there would still be 32 percent of children who would remain obese.

Nonetheless it is important to grasp at this ray of hope and work towards getting your child back on the road to physical fitness.

It may seem easy to take the less bumpy road and resort to plastic surgery procedures like liposuction to make life better for your kid. But it’s never really been an easy way out where children are concerned.

Plastic surgery for children is not a good idea and is hardly a mark of good parenting skills. There is no telling the adverse effects liposuction procedures may have on some children later in their lives.

Be certain you have a good plastic surgeon advising you on the best course of action for your overweight or obese child. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for further help.

$20 Million For A Teenage Liposuction That Went Wrong

Seven years after 18-year-old Amy Fledderman succumbed to complications arising from liposuction procedures passed away, the jury reached a decision that gave immense solace to the parents of the teenager.

They awarded $20.5 million for damages incurred by Amy’s family as well as for compensation for their emotional loss. Their attorney said the jury decision was “some sort of omen” as the jury convened to pass the verdict on the seventh anniversary of the fateful surgery.

It seems the plastic surgeon accused of botching up the cosmetic surgery procedure was not licensed to practice certain cosmetic procedures and was even ordered by the Pennsylvania Department of Health to refrain from doing so.

The facility where the procedure was carried out was also ruled out as it was not designated as an ambulatory surgical facility.

Note: The Plastic Surgery Institute of California recently acquired this certification and like a select few practices in California is board certified by a body like the ASPS.

But what we do find baffling is Amy’s age and the readiness with which her parents assented to a liposuction surgery. A tummy, leg and chin liposuction for an 18-year-old whose body hasn’t developed completely is not something that most plastic surgeons advice parents and children for.

Unless a patient faces difficulty in mobility and has certain health problems, our advanced surgical institute does not consider teenage liposuction a good decision on part of the parent and the child.

Get in touch with us to know what you can do to assist weight loss in your child.

Some Fun Things To Do While Waiting For Your Liposuction Date

Next to anyone at all would shy from the liposuction surgeon’s knife while contemplating the procedure. But this sentiment is generally expressed for other surgeries as well and is not limited to an elective surgery like liposuction.

So while you are waiting for the date when you will finally enter the operation theatre for your cosmetic liposuction procedure there are some cool things you can do to put up more with your flabby odds and ends.

The FDA recommends potential patients to try and downplay their size or emphasize it using clever clothing tricks. That’s easier said than done for most people. While some maybe fashion-challenged, some could be fiscally challenged as well.

But take a look around the Internet and you will come across a ton of places where you could get some help to make the best of your pre-liposuction surgery body.

For instance, stretchy velvet and lycra is an absolute no-no for over-sized people, but the folks at Winter Couture like to bend those rules. And oh, Kiyonna does some wonderfully wicked job with lace and prints. Here’s a nice list of sites for the full-figured fashionista.

But if more plus-sized dresses are the last thing you need then go all out with some of the easy-to-make scrumptious pasta treats at I Love Pasta. I’m in a good mind myself of trying out the Chicken Tequila Fettucine tonight.

You can always try out one recipe a day till your liposuction surgery date draws closer. And don’t forget to let the Plastic Surgery Institute of California know how your efforts pay off.

What Do You Get When You Put A Man In A Girdle?

You gotta love the 21^st century.

It gave us cool things like the iPhone, Madonna and modern girdles.

Oh don’t laugh at the last one. Our forefathers might have used girdles in a forgotten era, but they are all set to make a comeback in fashion. The only difference is modern girdles are sexier and have nothing feminine about them!

More commonly referred to as shapewear or a bodybriefer, these body contouring garments are an amazing way to get an idea about how you would feel after a liposuction procedure. As you must be aware of, liposuction procedures are cosmetic surgery procedures to minimize fat in the buttocks, thighs, calves, hips, waist and chest areas.

Depending on the area you want worked on, the liposuction surgeon can remove excess, unwanted fat from that area and trim down the body. Further cosmetic surgery like an abdominoplasty can then be had to tone up the muscles, tighten them and shuck off excess skin.

With body contouring garments you can get an idea about how your body will look post-liposuction. But if you want to wait till you have a follow-up tummy tuck then we suggest you wear the garment till you do so.

There are a lot of things men can do to stay in shape, and exercise need not be the only route to a fit appearance. Get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California and we’ll let you know more about what you can do.

Liposuction-ed Thighs And Latex Pants:

This is one woman who won’t be needing liposuction in a hurry!

Fergie- the female component of the Black Eyed Peas and solo artist in her own right- totally rocked the Rockefeller Plaza with her callisthenic abilities this Tuesday. The recording for NBC’s Today sure got a spectacular jazzing up of its own!

Clad in tight latex pants 33-year-old Fergie did crazy one-handed cartwheels for the show AND kept on singing. Now us mere mortals would have been a tad breathless after pulling a stunt like that, but the feisty Fergie continued without flustering.

Talk about professionalism.

Fergie seems to be in better shape lately and is gung-ho about her new footwear line which she is set to launch for Spring 2009.

She wasn’t always that fit though, but hey, teenage life is all about looking awkward for the most of us. Rumors of various plastic surgery jobs done to get her current look abound as well and include procedures like face lift surgery, breast augmentation and maybe liposuction procedures at one point of time.

They all seem to have paid off rather well though as she’s still scorching the music charts with ‘Labels or Love’- her song for the Sex and the City movie. Good going I say!

Liposuction Model – Naomi Campbell

One-time queen of the runway, Naomi Campbell just turned 38 and is still the madcap everyone has come to know and love er, tolerate.

But there’s no denying that Naomi yet possesses that scintillating spark which made her the undisputed queen of modeldom in the early 90’s. Her eyes may be framed by fake (and totally expensive) lashes, but they still look perfectly preserved.

Speculations of Campbell having had plastic surgery to aid her preservation efforts abound but have never been confirmed. A lot of women aspire for looks like hers though when they think of having any cosmetic surgery procedure.

For instance, take her thighs and fabulous arms. They look very well-toned and barely have a single ounce of fat out of place. Liposuction surgeons frequently hear requests for arms and legs to be sculpted à la Naomi Campbell.

Not surprisingly, it is her lower body shape and appearance that is requested as her breasts are average-sized (34-B) and not really her best feature.

Naomi’s legs are indisputably must-haves for any liposuction procedures or lower body lift surgery patient as her vital stats are believed to be those of the perfect woman.

So what do you think: Are Naomi’s legs liposuction surgery must-haves? Let the Plastic Surgery Institute of California know.

A Liposuction-ed Body In A Leopard Print Car

Oh no. how much ever pleased we were with the makeover Mel B had for her stint as an Ultimo model, we are less than loving her latest foray into the spotlight.

It’s the leopard print limo I am referring to, which she arrived in for a birthday celebration for her hubby Stephen Belafonte at the Villa. Notorious for being a celeb haunt, the Villa was host to a stripper show for the darling husband, while for her choice of accessories Mel B raised a lot of eyebrows.

She did make some right choices when she decided to lose her tubby body though. Widely speculated to have had some liposuction and a tummy tuck surgery, Mel B dumped the excess weight and her ex-husband and started with a new life.

Formerly known as Scary Spice of the Spice Girls, this mother of two was not exactly in tip-top shape. A major breakdown post the split from Eddy Murphy, Melanie took an active interest in her life and went on to perform in Dancing with the Stars and release two albums.

While both these ventures didn’t strike gold, Mel is still very optimistic about it all and is in the midst of another album. Oh well, at least her ‘alleged’ liposuction surgery lasted long enough.

Liposuction And The Princess Of York

This is one of my favorite princesses.

The Phillip Treacy fascinator and Alexander McQueen dress Princess Beatrice wore to her cousin Prince Peter Phillip’s wedding has got me liking her even more. As a royal princess, you are expected to dress sedately and look demure and pastel.

But Beatrice and Eugenie, the two daughters of Prince Andrew have sent that image to the bin.

The photos taken of her during her holiday in St. Barths however were decidedly unfashionable though. Beatrice’s bikini almost went for a swim as a huge wave struck and did nothing for her curves while it was on.

To my plastic surgery sensitive eyes, Bea definitely looked like a candidate for some liposuction followed by a tummy tuck. She could get multiple liposuction procedures performed in her thighs and hip area.

Beatrice has a typical pear-shaped body which means her upper body is smaller in proportion to her lower body. A liposuction surgery can get rid of excess fat in Beatrice’s lower body regions and get it in proportion to the rest of her body.

Liposuction or a lower body lift would involve controlling and maintaining body weight for Princess Beatrice though. But a little exercise won’t harm a person who wants to get the best results out of a liposuction surgery.

Neck Liposuction – What Do You Know About It?

One of the more delicate cosmetic liposuction procedures, neck liposuction is usually requested in combination with a face lift or a neck lift surgery. For facial re-contouring however, this plastic surgery procedure is excellent.

Intravenous sedation is required for a neck liposuction procedure and it usually does not take more than an hour. If you have selected a board certified plastic surgeon, you have a better chance against developing complications like damage to the mandibular nerve in the jaw, irregular liposuction and oversuction of fat from the neck region.

Besides the plastic surgeon’s expertise, it is also the patient who needs to possess the medical requirements necessary to have this liposuction surgery procedure. There cannot be too much fat that can be displaced from the neck of the patient as it could lead to an overlying tissue contraction.

Since this plastic surgery procedure is a combination procedure, it stands to reason that the cosmetic surgeon you select is a board certified doctor and hold considerable merit in the field of cosmetic face surgery and liposuction.

Do not hesitate to ask your doctor about his client record and examples of before and after photographs of his previous neck liposuction patients. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can help you know more about this surgery technique if you have any doubts.

Christina Ricci And Liposuction? Dangerous Thought

Her latest movie Speed Racer might have bombed the box office, but this is only a minor setback for Christina Ricci’s film career.

Known for her quirky choice of roles, Ricci has established herself as an actress without any inhibitions. She is even rumored to have sent the director of Black Snake Moan naked pictures of herself to bag the role of a nymphomaniac.

But I wonder if she sent them before she lost so much of her body weight or after. Christina, regardless of her petite size and frame was no wastrel of a woman in her early days as the girl-child Katrina from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Her battle with anorexia still leaves her with skepticism about the glam business’ obsession with the prefect body and she states that if she would enter showbiz today, she would be called overweight.

Christina, despite her small size says she wouldn’t rule out having cosmetic surgery of any kind. Looking at her delicate size, it would be better of she went in for some plastic surgery procedures that add to her lost curves- like a breast augmentation or a face implant surgery.

Cosmetic surgery procedures that reduce body fat and volume like liposuction or tummy tuck surgery wouldn’t be a good idea as she has very less body volume right now to begin with.

Let’s just hope that she makes the right choice of plastic surgery procedures in accordance to her body size.
