Liposuction is Better For Weight Loss Than Fat-loss Pills

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Weight Loss — Tags: advancements in cosmetic surgery, diet pills, fatfreefitness.co.uk, increase metabolism, liposuction, liposuction procedure, liposuction procedures, overweight, Rich Leigh, Weight Loss, Weight loss pills, weight loss supplements, weight loss tablets, women want to lose weight — admin @ 3:25 pm

Many women want to lose weight and weight loss tablets seem to be an easy way to accomplish this. Of all the possible choices for weight loss this is one of the worst. Weight loss pills are a temporary fix who’s effects will soon wear off. A better more permanent solution is a liposuction procedure.

Rich Leigh , a personal trainer and founder of fatfreefitness.co.uk, says that many women are trying to lose weight by using weight loss tablets because they don’t have time to exercise. Many women are too busy with a never ending list of things to do during their days and thus cannot fit exercise into their schedules. This does not mean that they must live with being overweight. They merely have to find a viable alternative to exercise.

Rich Leigh commissioned research to determine the number of women using fat loss pills. This study involved 1,392 women between the ages of 16 and 50. The findings were that an average of 23 percent of these women used weight loss pills. Of the women under 30, 18 percent used them and of those over 30, 28 percent used them. Sixty-seven percent of these fat loss pills were purchased online anonymously. Many of these women, nearly 67 percent, said that they took the pills because they did not have time to exercise. Thirty-one percent said that using weight loss pills was a last resort.

Most weight loss supplements contain ma huang which is a botanical source of ephedrine similar to amphetamine. Hundreds of adverse reactions have been reported from using this substance. These reactions include dizziness, nausea, and seizures or even heart attacks and strokes. These pills claim to increase metabolism. However once a person stops taking them the weight will come right back. The temporary weight loss of diet pills is surely not worth the risks associated with their use.

Women must not despair. There is a way to get rid of these fat cells in a safe and effective way. Liposuction is a viable substitute for diet pills. It is a procedure that removes pockets of fat from problem areas on the body. It is accomplished using a suction tube called a cannula which is inserted into a small incision. The cannula is pushed and pulled through the fat cells, breaking them up and then sucking them out of the body. The results are amazing and many women have learned this fact for themselves. Thousands of women availed themselves of some form of liposuction in 2009, including fat cell removal from both the face and body.

Due to many advancements in the cosmetic surgery field, liposuction is a safe and easy way for a woman to rid herself of those flabby features that she hates. Liposuction is indeed an excellent alternative to fat loss pills for shedding that excess weight.

Shrink Those Moobs : A New Cosmetic Surgery Procedure

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Male Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Body Tite, Body Tite surgery, Bodytite, collagen contraction, cosmetic surgery, Cosmetic Surgery procedure, cosmetic surgery procedures, enlarged breasts, gynecomastia, liposuction, mammary glands, man boobs, moobs, radiofrequency assisted technology, Royal Marsden Hospital, sagging skin, Shrink Those Moobs, tightening the skin — admin @ 10:14 am

Many men suffer from the humiliation of having man boobs, termed moobs. Those who can afford it have had no option but to use liposuction which has a tendency to leave sagging skin. A new procedure, called Body Tite, has been introduced as an alternative to this solution.

Men with gynecomastia, the development of abnormally large mammary glands, walk through life with enlarged breasts. This condition is commonly found in adolescent boys and it usually goes away within a couple of years. Some, however, do not disappear and it is these unfortunate men that will greatly benefit form this new procedure. Some men merely have excess fatty tissue in their chest that they would like to get rid of and the work out scene just isn’t making the cut.

Body Tite surgery has been shown to remove the unwanted fat while tightening the skin. It utilizes radiofrequency assisted technology which applies heat energy uniformly over the chest. This energy liquefies the fat which is then liposuction out. The heating also allows for collagen contraction which tightens the tissue and skin in the area. This procedure has been reported relatively fast in comparison to
the previous moob solution of liposuction.

Dr Milles Berry is a consultant plastic surgeon at the Royal Marsden Hospital and says that this procedure is also much less painful than liposuction. In liposuction there is quite a bit a pulling and pushing of the cannula to remove the fat cells. The Body Tite surgery eliminates the need for all of this force. The liquefying of the fat allows for a smooth removal that is relatively pain free.

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons disclosed that there has been a large escalation in the number of men undergoing breast reduction procedures. In fact the number of these surgeries has shown an eighty percent increase in the last year, with 581 surgeries performed in 2009.

2009 : Record Year for Male Breast Reduction

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Male Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: baaps, blepharoplasty, breast reduction, British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, consultant plastic surgeon and BAAPS Secretary, cosmetic surgery, enlarged breasts, eyelid surgery, Gynaecomastia, large mammary glands, liposuction, mail breast reduction, male procedures, male surgical procedures, Mr. Rajiv Grover, nose jobs, plastic surgery, plastic surgical procedures, radiofrequency assisted technology, remove the fat cells, Rhinoplasty, tightening the loose skin — admin @ 12:07 pm

According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), the number of men undergoing plastic surgical procedures has risen substantially in 2009. The increase is an amazing 21% in overall procedures performed on men. Cosmetic surgery is quickly becoming a men’s trend too.

The BAAPS reported that the increase in male procedures was most profoundly shown in the breast reduction (gynaecomastia). These procedures rose an astounding 80% between 2008, with 581 procedures. It is the third most popular procedure in men behind nose-jobs (rhinoplasty) and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).

Many men have excess fat cells across there chest that they wish to have removed. Some even suffer from gynecomastia, the development of abnormally large mammary glands resulting in enlarged breasts. Men have tried in vain to get rid this excess fat through work outs, and diet plans.  Out of options, men have turned to plastic surgery to rid them of the embarrassing flab on their chests.

Many new advancements in technology have improved many of the procedures for plastic surgery. In fact, a new procedure is now available for breast reduction which utilizes radiofrequency assisted technology. This technology allows for a much less invasive procedure to remove the fat cells while at the same time tightening the loose skin. This replaces the painful pushing and pulling of liposuction and is drawing more and more patients.

The media has also made an impact on the plastic surgery scene. Mr. Rajiv Grover, consultant plastic surgeon and BAAPS Secretary said, “This year we have recorded a dramatic rise in a number of male surgical procedures, probably due to heightened media attention, which has allowed men to realize the positive outcomes that can be achieved.”

The negative opinion that society once had toward plastic surgery no longer exists. People are much less judgmental of others who have undergone such a procedure and thus everyone is more apt to talk about the results of their procedure. With the plethora of positive testimonials available men are more inclined to consider a procedure to give them the body that they desire.

Christmas Binge Sending People to the Plastic Surgeon

Filed under: Cosmetic Surgery News, Weight Loss — Tags: abdominoplasty, bariatric surgeries, gastric bands, liposuction, plastic surgery, plastic surgery procedures, Tummy Tuck, Tummy Tucks, Weight Loss, weight loss sur — admin @ 10:42 am

All year people watch their figures, by eating healthy, and exercising. Then the Christmas season comes along and they do a little bingeing. It’s hard to resist grandma’s Christmas cookies or that special pumpkin pie that mom brings over. This seasonal overeating is enough to send people rushing to the surgeons office for a tummy tuck.

Mark Norfolk is the Clinical Services Director of the Transform Cosmetic Group, in Wakefield, United Kingdom. Due to this position he is uniquely able to give opinions about motives for plastic surgery as well as current trends. On average people gain about six pounds over the Christmas season, but experts say that this year the average weight gain has nearly doubled. Mark told the Sun, “We always see a rush for
weight loss surgery at Christmas, but this year’s been exceptional.” He reported that many women blame the recession for their weight gain. He said, “They’ve let go over Christmas, bingeing on food and booze and are feeling the consequences.”

The number of appointments for invasive weight loss plastic surgery procedures has risen 57 percent compared to last year. These procedures include abdominoplasty (tummy tucks) which involves a manual tightening of the abdominal muscles and removal of excess skin. This procedure slims and contours the abdomen for a very appealing look. Another procedure that is in high demand, to handle the Christmas binge flab, is liposuction. Liposuction is a process where fat cells are actually pulled out of problem areas.

Gastric bands, bariatric surgeries, are also popular as weight loss surgeries. These bands are clamped on the stomach to reduce the amount of food that a person is able to consume. These surgeries allow for a large amount of weight loss and thus are meant for people who are clinically obese. After losing substantial weight with this surgery, many people opt to have additional procedures to finish the sculpting of their body.

Plastic surgery has increased in popularity each year and 2010 will not be an exception. The extensive media coverage of cosmetic procedures has brought knowledge of their benefits to a wider range of people in society. As the procedures become more mainstream and more surgeons are available, the price of the procedures gradually becomes less. Even the recession has not been able to stop the growth of the plastic surgery market. In fact Patrick Mallucci, a member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, told the Guardian, “What has been surprising for me is that it is very busy during a time of supposed recession.”

A Fresh New Year’s Resolution : Look and Feel Great With Plastic Surgery

Filed under: Body Contouring, Breast Augmentation, Cosmetic Surgery News — Tags: Body Contouring, breast enhancement, breast reduction, cosmetic surgery, Dr. Richard Chaffoo, exercise equipment, facial procedures, liposuction, liposuction procedures, New Year's Resolution, person's self-esteem, plastic surgery, surgical procedures, triple board-certified plastic surgeon, Weight Loss — admin @ 12:33 pm

When the new year comes around people begin to set goals for the next segment of their lives. Some decide to quit smoking cigarettes or stop eating so many snacks. Others get a new membership to the gym or buy exercise equipment. But now a new trend has arisen for these New Year’s resolutions: plastic surgery.

Dr. Richard Chaffoo, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon, indicated that people are seeking a fresh new look in the new year. In a press release he says that “Most New Year’s resolutions boil down to one simple desire: to look and feel more like the person you want to be.” Many people may have met their goals of weight loss for the previous year but when they look in the mirror they don’t see the thin fit body that they were looking for. They have exhausted their repertoire and are looking something to shape their body into the shape that they want.

The most popular procedures throughout the whole year are breast reduction and liposuction. New Year’s is no exception. An increase in the volume of breast enhancement and liposuction procedures is always seen at the beginning of the year. These procedures enhance the contours of the body and give the desired look that many people are looking for. Body contouring is exactly what a person is looking for when they have lost a significant amount of weight.

Most people do not realize how important the facial procedures are to a person’s self-esteem. When someone wants to look and feel great the range of facial plastic surgeries available can do just that. When loosing weight the face begins to thin out and become more angular, which is good. But the loss of fat cells in the face usually uncovers problem areas in the face that were not noticeable before, such as crow’s feet and gauntness in the cheeks. These features can easily be fixed with a face lift or eyelid surgery.

As each New Year approaches, the popularity of surgical procedures will increase, as people continue to search for that elusive feeling of well-being. Dr. Chaffoo says, “I see cosmetic surgery as a way to help people live to their full potential….simpler pleasures really are taking center stage and encouraging people
to take a fresh look at themselves.” Looking and feeling great is a very important aspect in a persons life and plastic surgery can make it a reality.

Fat for Sale - Peruvuan Gangsters Kill Farmers for Their Fat

Filed under: Weird and Wonderful — Tags: cosmetics market, European cosmetic brokers, fat rejuvenating skin creams, human fat, human fat extract, lipo, liposuction, liquefied human fat, murder, rejuvenating skin creams, skin cream — admin @ 10:49 pm

A morbidly bizarre case has unfolded in Peru involving members of a gang who kidnapped and killed local farmers in order to drain the fat from their bodies and sell it for cosmetic purposes.

Hoping to make some quick money from European cosmetic brokers, the three gang members were arrested by Lima police officers with bottles of liquefied human fat found on them. Peru’s chief police office, General Felix Burga, has evidence that leads him to believe that this gang was one of several operating within the country hoping to export the product for use Italy. Members of the Italian mafia have also been implicated in the crime ring and are still at large.

 

The three men have confessed to killing five people by luring them into a remote building in the jungle and killing them before dismembering the bodies and draining the fat. The headless bodies were hung in the building with candles lit underneath them to cause the fat to melt and drop into containers.

The men believed that they could traffic the body fluids on the black market and make as much as 15,000 USD per litre by selling it for use in skin rejuvenating skin creams. In addition to the five murders already confessed to, police suspect the men in at least a dozen more killings. Col Jorge Meija, the chief of Peru’s anti-kidnapping police listed the charges against the suspects as kidnapping, homicide, and illegal firearm possession.

Experts in the cosmetic industry dispute the projected profit the men expected to make. Dr. Lisa Donofrio, a dermatology professor at Yale University in the United States said that although a small market might exist for human fat extract, it is not something that scientifically is a viable way of keeping skin supple. If there was merit to the use of human fat cells for cosmetic purposes, cosmetic surgery clinics all over the world have a surplus of the material left over and readily available from liposuction procedures.

The strangest part of the story rests in who the gangsters expected to sell their product to. There is no shortage of strange products on the cosmetics market, but this is simply not a needed ingredient in the creation of skin creams.

Moob Mountain Scaled

Filed under: Body Contouring, Cosmetic Surgery News, Male Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: breast reduction surgery, cosmetic surgery, liposuction, male breasts, man-boob, moobs, plastic surgery, Surgery — admin @ 3:26 pm

Once upon a time it was only women who were concerned with their looks and men had the enviable position of not being pressured as much by society to look a certain way. The 1980’s new man and now the metrosexual have put an end to all that and now men as much as women are under pressure, often from huge billboards advertising underwear, to fit into a stereotypical Adonis-like figure; for many men this can lead to cripplingly low self-confidence and a desire to use surgery to change and enhance their looks.

One of the main problem areas for men has always been the man-boob; most men can’t spend three hours in the gym every day getting the perfectly sculpted body which we now see in fashion shows and between the pages of magazines; a lifestyle of drinking and unhealthy food leads to a build up of fat around the chest area and these, rather cruelly, have come to be known as man boobs.  However, there is good news, as recent reports indicate that male breast reduction surgery is now much better and much more effective than it was a few short years ago.  Different liposuction methods are now being used which have been found to be much more effective and patients are less likely to experience the scarring which they had to live with in the past.

It seems that this news comes on the back of a sea-change in the male culture of this country. We are finally starting to make the connection between our binge-drinking culture and how we look physically; one in five men in a recent survey expressed concern that the amount they drank was starting to affect their physical appearance. The insecurity is not just limited to the infamous beer belly anymore, men are now becoming aware that their chests are being scrutinised by society as well.  Men undergoing breast reduction surgery some 10 to 15 years ago may not have been happy with the outcome, but the advances which have been made in the interim mean that many men are now being given a new lease of life. Of course, surgery should only be seen as the last resort; if you or your partner fear that man boobs may be starting to appear, simply cut back on the alcohol and try binging on salads and regular exercise instead!

Record Breaker

Most of us will have either considered, or will have undergone, some sort of plastic surgery. We will have had one nagging flaw or an insecurity which we felt needed sorting and we will have taken the necessary surgical steps towards correcting this imperfection. However, for some people, plastic surgery becomes more than a way of just correcting one or two minor faults; it becomes an entire way of life. This is certainly the case for Cindy Jackson, who holds the dubious record of having more cosmetic surgery than anybody else on the planet. But, far from being put off or quietened by her record-breaking number of times under the knife, she is now using her position to become a spokesperson and encourage more people to seek bodily perfection in the plastic surgery arena.

Jackson has offered advice to celebrities in the past, including surgery success stories like Sharon Osbourne and now she is turning her attention to regular citizens like you and me; her message is simple, that everyone and anyone should actively consider some form of surgical enhancement. She told Sky News:

“I’ve never met or been in touch with anyone who is totally happy the way they are”

She went on to tackle a big taboo in society that people, no matter what they say in public, are attracted to, and value highly, the concept of beauty.  She did say it was politically incorrect to make such a statement but her own good looks have given her “better chances” in life and she feels she has also gotten an “easier ride” because of her enhanced looks. Whilst this may be slightly true, it is certainly true that most people still value personality and contribution to society over mere looks. Where plastic surgery comes in is that it can help transform people’s confidence so that their personality shines through; if you feel beautiful, you will appear more beautiful and, for a lot of people, surgery is really the only way to correct not only physical flaws but mental doubts as well.

Jackson is well-known on the surgery circuit and is a veritable regular, having undergone nose-jobs, several facelifts, breast augmentation and liposuction procedures. Much of her body may now be unnatural, but her advice is down-to-earth and 100% real; if you’re unhappy with the way you look surgery offers you the chance to change yourself and change your life.

Most of us will have either considered, or will have undergone, some sort of plastic surgery. We will have had one nagging flaw or an insecurity which we felt needed sorting and we will have taken the necessary surgical steps towards correcting this imperfection. However, for some people, plastic surgery becomes more than a way of just correcting one or two minor faults; it becomes an entire way of life.

Man Alive!!

We have already reported that more and more men were going under the knife. The rise in metrosexuality and an increased pressure on men to attain physical perfection has meant that more and more males have been opting for surgery to give them the perfect abs, or pecs, or hairline. However, news has reached us that male plastic surgery has now begun to take over the realm of the face-lift. For so long, this procedure has been in the ownership of Hollywood women who want to keep getting the starring roles by turning back the clock on tired faces but now, according to one surgeon, men are getting in on the act as well.

Dr. Marco Faria Correa spoke out to the Jakarta Post, saying that:

“With changing standards of aesthetic surgery for men and more liberal attitudes, we see an increase in the number of men opting for cosmetic surgery.”

Men are already taking more care of their skin, having more expensive haircuts and, largely thanks to a new culture of male celebrity, are taking much more care over how they style themselves and what they wear; plastic surgery and facelifts seem to just be the next logical step on from this.   However, it isn’t simply vanity which is pushing men into more and more complicated, harsh and expensive procedures.

Men have always been competitive in the world of business and now this competitive streak has boiled over in the realm of cosmetic surgery.  Surgery is a way for men to carry on looking young and energetic and this can only be a good thing in the tiring and stressful world of business. Women have long known that, sadly, appearances count for a lot in this cynical world and it seems that now, for better or for worse, men are now catching on to this idea as well.  Whilst men are beginning to make their mark on the world of surgery, it is still women who dominate, with breast augmentation procedures constantly being the top of the surgery charts on both side of the Atlantic, liposuction is also a phenomenally popular surgery. However, as men continue to want to stay ahead and continue to chase ideals which they see on the billboards and in the magazines all around them, there is no doubt that they may well soon match women in terms of the number of them going under the knife.

Beat the Baby Bulge

Filed under: Body Contouring, Celebrity Cosmetic Surgery, Female Cosmetic Surgery — Tags: caesareans, Dr. Jeremy Schreiber, liposuction, plastic surgeon, pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, skin stretches, Surgery, Tummy Tucks, tummy-lipo, yummy mummys — admin @ 9:32 am

Pregnancy and the years when your child is young are amongst the most magical times in any person’s life and yet there will always come a time when you want to get back into shape and get your figure back.

 

Before, this was done with routine exercise and yet this never seemed to quite do the trick. There was always a little something left over which could not be toned away, which exercise could not get rid of for us.  The recent surge in “yummy mummys” and celebrities who seem to snap back into shape straight away after giving birth have also helped move us towards a place where surgery seems to be the only viable way of getting our pre-pregnancy abs back.

When we are pregnant, or even if we aren’t and are just a little overweight, our skin stretches and, when the weight drops back off us, we lose all the elasticity in our skin.  This can lead to sagging and an unflattering look which no amount of exercise will shift. The only real option is a surgical one; have the skin from a previous life and a previous you removed and start a whole new life with a fabulous brand new you.  One plastic surgeon from America, Dr. Jeremy Schreiber has spoken out about the trend, saying that:

“When all is said and done, the results are fantastic. You can expect a smooth contour to your abdomen as well as getting back the flat belly that you had before.”

Once the surgery has been performed then you can indeed begin, once you’ve recovered, on an exercise and diet regime to tone yourself but, if you don’t have the surgery first, you may well be wasting your time trying to work on untoneable areas.  It is often rumoured in the press that some women undergo caesareans and then tummy-tucks straight after; this, however, is certainly not advised. Another viable, and safe, option for some patients is to have a tummy-lipo; that is a tummy tuck and a liposuction procedure at the same time. This is great for getting contouring and sculpting back into the body and could really help any woman get confidence back after giving birth.  It’s not selfish to want your old body back; the happier you are the better equipped you will be to make your children happy!
