Being overweight is a fairly common condition for many people. A healthy body requires a minimum amount of fat for proper functioning. But the accumulation of too much fat can impair movement and flexibility, and can alter the appearance of the body, making it undesirable or unattractive.
Liposuction (Fat Suction) Certain areas of fat in your body are immune to exercise. No matter how many miles, sit-ups, weights or laps you do, the fat remains. Liposuction is basically a method of removing fat that does not respond to dieting and exercise. Liposuction removes unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of body, including the chin, neck, and cheeks; the upper arm and above the breast; the abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Everyone wants a flat, firm and even tummy. Repeatedly stretched and scarred, most of the bellies are lax, oversized and out of shape. Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscle of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen.
Diet and Exercise Counseling It is said, “Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork.” It is also said, “If you hang your swim suit on the refrigerator door, the goodies inside are easy to ignore.” Body contouring procedures are not a short cut to weight reduction. They can not replace the role of diet and exercise in maintaining ideal body weight. Any fat management program can not ignore diet and exercise.
