(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.

Give us a call at our advanced surgical institute to set up an appointment with our liposuction department.


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.
