Men and women from all walks of life undergo liposuction to reshape their body and achieve their ideal condition. Liposuction is a safe and effective procedure that removes unwanted excess fat from various parts of the body such as the abdomen, thighs, back, thighs, arms, love arms, knees or neck.
Liposuction is best for those patients who have not been able to reduce excess fat through diet and exercise. An exciting new step has been taken in liposuction treatments called SmartLipo Laser Liposuction.
SmartLipo laser liposuction surgery in Chicago is a non-invasive and safe procedure that consists of directing laser energy from a device called SmartLipo to a target area that liquefies fat cells, and then this fat is sucked out of the body.
Since the SmartLipo procedure uses a laser, the treated skin is lifted, reshaped and firmer. The results of Smart Laser Lipo treatments are noticeable and lasting, but at the same time, a balanced and healthy diet and proper exercise regimen must be followed to maintain the positive results.
5. Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation with fat grafting surgery is the best treatment for moderate breast enlargement. But the candidate must have a beautiful shape and skin tone of the breast. For those women who have saggy breasts or poor skin tone who want to increase their size, breast augmentation with fat transplants is not the best option for them.
During the breast augmentation fat transfer procedure, fat is taken from the area of the body where there is excess fat and transferred to the breast without volume. For those women who have irregularities in the shape of their breasts after placing a breast implant, a fat grafting procedure is the right option to fill in these irregularities and give thinner contours and a perfect shape.
