After Liposuction Love Handles

The reason you still have that muffin top or love handles is because that is your genetic predisposition. Everyone has those stubborn areas that seem to attract the fat no matter how little you eat or how much you exercise.

So…what is the answer…? You’re not going to like what I have to say… THE ANSWER IS LIPOSUCTION or get the excess stretched out skin removed.

Does that mean a long recovery, scar, or general anesthesia? No not necessarily. The recovery is minimal for liposuction and will depend on how much fat removed and how many areas liposuctioned. The liposuction scar is tiny and hidden in areas of skin creases. They look like lines in your skin when healed.

The chest area for men and the inner/outer thigh and hip areas for women are excellent for ultra sonic liposuction. This techniques liquifies the fat and allows the most aggressive removal of the fat cells with the least trauma and blood loss. This then allows for a quicker recovery and more dramatic results with one surgery.

What’s Involved in a Mommy Makeover & When Can You Have One After Delivery?

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

So you’ve had a few kids and now you’re 20-40 lbs heavier with breasts that are deflated, stretch marks all over your tummy, belly button & breasts. You have skin that hangs over your pubic area that prevent you from being able to tuck in any shirt or find clothes that fit nicely.

You try to eat well, exercise, and be healthy but all you see are your flat saggy breasts and hanging tummy skin. You get discouraged and depressed and you eat that extra piece of cheesecake because … what’s the use, nothing makes any difference!

Let me tell you, break the vicious cycle and take charge of your life. It is true, you will not be able to make the skin shrink or lift your breasts with diet and exercise but it will make you mentally feel better until you can get a MOMMY MAKEOVER!!

What is a MOMMY MAKEOVER? It can consist of a breast augmentation with a breast lift, tummy tuck with liposuction, and/or brachioplasty to reduce the skin of the arms. You can have all of these surgeries done at one time with one recovery depending on how much excess skin and fat will be taken off.
