Liposuction Lingo
Cosmetic liposuction also referred to as "lipo” is a procedure that focuses on removing excess fat from areas of the body, this procedure however should not be considered as a method of weight reduction – it is used to sculpt the body and reduce the amount of
localized fat.
What exactly is this localized fat you ask? Localized fat, stubborn fat, hard to get rid of fat is a product of our genetics as you will first store fat in areas you are genetically predisposed to. For women the trouble areas are the hips and thighs, buttocks, arms and breasts while men accumulate the fat in the lumbar area, abdomen and chest.
Our pesky localized fat is a hindrance simply because it is the last fat your body will burn, even though it is the first place it’s gained. For those of us who lead a fast paced life where exercise and a balanced diet are present but not necessarily to the extent required for our age, the localized fat will seem like it’s here to stay. Targeting your trouble areas with exercise will certainly help create muscle which in turn will assist your metabolism in burning fat, however it will not help you burn the fat faster from your troubled areas. For quick results
liposuction is a great solution.
Beating Stubborn Fat
You’ve achieved a healthy weight and feel great, but when you look in the mirror that extra flab hanging off your arm as you lift it to do your hair makes you sigh in exasperation. You work an 8 hour shift, get home and spend the rest of your evening taking care of your family while your weekends are filled with catching up on whatever you haven’t managed to do during the week. Extending your workout time just isn’t something you can fit into your schedule anymore and still manage to sleep.
