Is Liposonix a Good Alternative for Better Proportions?

I'm a 23 year old male 5'8" about 150-155 pounds. My stomach always looks a little pudgy. My waist is small but there have been times I've weighed less than 140 and still didn't see visible abs. It seems as though all my weight goes there. Also my face is thin and I don't want to get more gaunt. I want to avoid liposuction since the recover sounds long and difficult. I don't have much fat there so I just want to see if Liposonix or any other non-surgical method would be good for me. Thanks!

Liposonix is a good option for contouring the abdomen

Liposonix is a noninvasive technology that uses focused ultrasound to permanently reduce localized fat in a single treatment. as the founding member of the medical advisory board of the company that developed the technology I can say that it works very well for the abdominal area.

Liposonix provides non-surgical fat reduction in about an hour

Worth of treatment time. It can be used on abdomens and waists if there is at least an inch of fat to pinch. Your dermatologist can see if you are a good candidate. Because there is no surgery involved, there is no downtime. It typically takes 1 hour for the actual treatment and results can be seen in 1-3 months. Best to you, Dr. Jacob

The ideal patient for the Liposonix procedure is someone who is in good shape but still has the little "pudge", just like you said. And you are right, if you keep losing weight, you may look gaunt. I would recommend that you visit a physician who has been trained in use of the Liposonix technology, and get their opinion. I hope this answer has been helpful to you. Regards.

Need to pinch an inch of fat for treatment with Liposonix

As of Dec. 2011, I'm one of the first U.S. centers to offer the Liposonix, the first FDA approved fat melting device (approved Nov 2011 for fat reduction of the abdomen and flanks--it can be used off-label to treat other body parts). It uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to cause lysis or destruction of the fat cells. There is no other device that can make this claim in the U.S. It is nonsurgical liposuction, a revolutionary technologic breakthrough. It is... more

Liposonix?

Looking at your photo you seem like an ideal candidate for Liposonix. Your issue is pretty well localized in the lower abdomen- an area that Liposonix has had well documented success. Liposonix treatment should take about 30-45 minutes. It will take about 12 weeks to see the optimal result.
