A new machine that promises to freeze away the flab has been developed by scientists. Reportedly cheaper than liposuction and with patients able to go home almost immediately, the new procedure is sure to spark plenty of interest in cosmetic surgery enthusiasts.
The new machine is known as the ‘CoolSculpting Device’. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have already approved it’s use and one machine is already operating in a London clinic.
Laser lipolysis (commonly known as laser lipo) is a form of liposuction which uses local anaesthetic and lasers. Without the risk of full general anaesthetic or massive open wounds, the procedure is said to be a lot safer than the traditional liposuction methods.
Advanced laser lipolysis is not made for obese people – rather, it is a way of getting rid of stubborn fat that diet and exercise won’t shift: Think saddle bags, muffin tops and bingo wings.
A new cosmetic surgery procedure could banish ‘muffin tops’ forever. Muffin tops, named after the shape of the cake-like product, is the colloquial term for the rolls of fat that sit over the tops of women’s jeans and skirts. Unsightly muffin tops are more prevalent than ever thanks to low cut jeans and the fashion for wearing tight-clothing.
A new cosmetic surgery technique could see unwanted fat from other areas of a patient’s body being used to form natural breast implants.
Dubbed the ‘two-in-one’ operation, cosmetic surgeons first remove fat from unwanted areas such as the thighs, stomach and hips and transplant this fat into the breast area to enhance and enlarge the breasts.
The cosmetic surgery will be available in the UK for the first time early next year thanks to cosmetic surgery company the Harley Medical Group.
The Zerona Laser has been around for several years and claims to help patients lose weight without the need for cosmetic surgery, diet or exercise. A non-invasive procedure, the Zerona Laser is said to be a good alternative to having liposuction.
Liposuction remains one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery around and there are many variations on the surgery that patients can opt for. One of the latest liposuction variations is Vibration Assisted Liposuction (VAL) which is said to be less traumatic than standard liposuction and also provides a better recovery rate.
What is SmartLipo?
SmartLipo was launched in the UK in June 2006 and is a revolutionary evolution of the standard cosmetic surgery procedure, liposuction.
Often marketed as Laser Lipolysis or Laseripolisi (often misspelled Lipolisis) , the procedure works by using a laser to target fatty areas. The laser helps to break down the membranes of the fat cells, turning them into an oily liquid. This liquid is then either removed by suction, or through the body’s natural processes.
