I had a miscarriage a year ago and have been gaining all my weight in my stomach ever since. I can diet and exercise most of it off but still have 3-5 extra inches. I want a non invasive solution and this method caught my eye. What do you think?

Answer: Non-invasive fat reduction Yes the machines work BUT the results are nothing like liposuction. I like to explain it this way--the art of liposuction is to reach the deep layers of fat and aggressively remove them to make a dramatic shape to the body and then to carefully, and selectively remove and contour the more superficial layers of fat closer to the skin AND to blend all of these levels as well as the adjacent areas together--that is the art of liposuction which some people refer to as liposculpture.With a machine the fat removal is the SAME in all areas so it is a more of a general reduction of fat and not a specific removal. Also, the amount of fat that the machines can remove is way, way, way less than can be removed with liposuction.So in my opinion the machines are only useful in very specific patients with a small amount of fat in a localized area otherwise the vast majority of patients will get much better results with liposuction.Remember, we consider liposuction itself to be a minimally invasive procedure as we are removing the fat through very small incisions with small instruments and are not making any large incisions or entering into the body.

Answer: Ultrasonic external machines limited Non-invasive machines work to a degree, depending upon the device and the patient response. However, usually multiple treatments are required which adds to cost and prolongs overall recovery/result time. They also do not appreciably tighten skin.Liposuction is a proven, one time treatment for fat removal, skin tightening (with Vaser ultrasound or Smart Lipo laser) and potential fat transfer. Recovery is predictable.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.
