Question

Best procedure to reduce fat on hips and buttocks

Hi, My name is Marie-Pier, and I am 19 years old. I have a little amount of fat located on the outside of my legs and buttocks. I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, and it seems like it won't go away!

I would like to have a surgery like Smart Lipo or have some treatments, such as Velashape, Ultrashape, or Accent XL, but the thing is that Ii don't know what to do. If you could give me some advice... What's the best treatment for exercise-resistant fat in the hips and buttocks area?  Thank you, Marie

Liposuction!

Any version will work for you. At 19, your skin quality is most likely very good, which (aside from technical skill of the surgeon) is one of the most important factors in achieving a good result from liposuction. Visit with several surgeons who perform the procedure to hear their opinions, and decide who to go with. Make sure they are well qualified to perform this type of surgery, and don't be too heavily swayed by media "hype" that is paid advertising for a particular piece of equipment.
