Non surgical weight loss options.

Short Answer: Diet & Exercise Long Answer: see above. The only effective method for long term weight loss is diet modification and addition of an exercise program. That being said, there are several easy steps you can start with. 1. Drink more water: most Americans are dehydrated. We simply do not get enough fluid intake. Many people mistake thirst for hunger. Instead of reaching for a snack next time you feel hungry, drink 8 ounces of water (not soda, not coffee, not... more

Fat reduction non-surgically

The best way is always diet and exercise, but liposuction can be a great way to get rid of stubborn regions but this requires surgery. Newer technology like zerona and zeltiq may offer solutions.

Non-surgical Fat Reduction

Without the ideal way to lose fat is through diet. Once on the right diet, exercise aids the process. The only other method of non-surgical loss is one of two new machines approved by the FDA. They can cause a significant loss of fat and help kick-start further weight loss by encouraging continued dietary modification. The machine I use is the Zerona®, a low level, painless Laser with no down time.

Overweight liposuction

The best way to lose weight is a combination of exercise and improvements in dietary habits. This means, essentially, less fat and carbohydrates in the diet, and regular cardiovascular exercising. In my opinion, running is the best way, but I am biased since I am a runner. 3-4 miles per day, with one day rest, is a good way to maintain and lose weight. Running is not for everyone; however. Daily walking, one hour a day, is another way to lose weight. I... more

Non surgical weight loss

Liposcution is NOT advised. Even if you did proceed, it would likely not remove more than 20 lbs even if aggressive liposuction was performed. You need to consider consultation with a medical weight loss speicalist and possibly bariatric surgery.

Losing weight without surgery, try diet, exercise, medical checkup and Zeltiq Coolsculpting

Some people's hormones are out of balance. If the thyroid is not producing enough hormone than the metabolic rate is slower than it should be and weight increases with the same calories consumed because less energy is expended than before the thyroid slowed down. If medically you are fine, then exercise needs to increase and diet watched more carefully. After all of those are followed, then one may consider Zeltiq Coolsculpting as this procedure does not involve surgery. It... more

You are eating too much and not exercising enough.

It does not matter very much what you eat provided your calories match your metabolic needs. On average we gain a pound a year. That represents about one excess teaspoon of sugar a day-a couple of lifesavers. The key to loosing weight is to adjust your diet to have fewer calories or increase your work out so you burn more calories or both. Of course it is easy to stop at the bakery after the work out and wipe out any gains you made in the gym. Because our diets... more

I Want to Lose Fat on my Abdomen, Thighs and Buttocks Without Surgery. Which is Best?

Extreme dieting and exercise are the best ways. I do not know of any non surgery to help. Best of luck from MIAMI Dr. darryl J. Blinski

Diet and exercise for weight loss, liposuction for shaping

Diet and exercise are still the only ways to reliably lose weight, but what you can't do is "spot reduce." The fat will diminish where your body wants it to, and there are often some areas that don't seem to change with weight loss. That is where liposuction comes in, but that is of course surgery. Since you are in the UK, Liposonix technology may be available. This is a nonsurgical approach to localized fat reduction.

Fat reduction without surgery is possible!

Your desire to reduce fat without surgery is what everyone desires. By far the best solutions are to optimize your lifestyle, nutritional balance and exercise. It is often helpful to get professional advice and guidance on how to do this for your body and your lifestyle. That being said, it sounds like you are already trying hard in these areas. For my patients with this situation we have seen great success with low level laser therapy and specifically Zerona. This completely... more

How to get rid of fat

The areas of fat that you are concerned with may be genetically determined. This will be a significant impediment to fat loss in those areas with diet and exercise. You may want to consider hooking up with a personal trainer first and give that a three month try. You may also wish to consider Coolsculpting, the noninvasive way to remove fat. You would need to see a Dr for a consultation to see if you are a candidate. The next level of treatment would be liposuctioning. This is very... more
