i dont have so much fat that i want liposuction but i would like to remove it. would i-lipo be a good option
Unfortunately I have no experience with i lipo. I would encourage you to seek out a plastic surgeon and discuss your options with him / her. I would just caution you about treatments in spas. Many times you don't know what you're getting, the people may not, and usually are not, well trained. Typically there is not even a physical present. Over the years I have seen more errors and patients needing revision working coming from spas and the like, go slow and think twice before you choose. Seek true professional advice that is Board Certified in Plastic Surgery.Good LuckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery
Dear naomilove,I have been performing energy-assisted liposuction, includingSmartLipo™, BodyTite™, VASER® lipo and water jet lipo for 20 years. In general, liposuction, especially the moremodern versions, will provide a gentle, relatively painless body contouringexperience under local anaesthesia and your results will be excellent, inwell-trained hands. However, there arealso many non-invasive, non-surgical lipo contouring technologies that do workand offer a moderate to reasonable improvement. i-Lipo™ is one such non-invasive laser-type device. Others include Zerona™, which uses multiplediode lasers that rotate above the fat; Vanquish, which uses radiofrequencywave energy; and then non-invasive contact-based technologies that use cooling,such as CoolSculpting®; ultrasound, such as UltraShape® and Liposonix®; andthen radiofrequency energy, such as BodyFX™ and TiteFX™.I have multiple technologies in my clinic andI always offer individuals like yourself the opportunity to do non-invasivetreatments. If you get the results thatyou seek, then most patients are very happy. However, you may also apply the money you spent against the non-invasivetreatments against the more definitive, modern energy-assisted lipoplastytechnologies, such as SmartLipo™, BodyTite™ and VASERLipo™. The body contouring arena has become veryspecialized and it is very important you seek multiple consultations in orderthat you don’t feel disappointed with your results. Sometimes the non-invasive treatments soundexcellent, but the results can be less impressive and sometimes thenon-invasive treatments are exactly what is required.For more information, please review the link below.I hope this information has been of some assistance and bestof luck.
