Anyone tried it? Does it work?

[Charlie Harper]

Yes! , I am fit but used to have this small extra tummy I could not get rid of, so I used 3 sessions one on the lower stomach, one on both sides of the lower stomach (the forward love hadles LOL) and the guys insisted to use a last one on the back love handles.

 

When they put it the suction hurts but the coldness makes you numb in like 4 minutes and then its miller time!!

 

I got a little bit of bruising on the area afterwards but disepaered in like 2 days, and after 40 days the changes were noticeable. I will go again next month just because I like a flat stomach ... (hey I like to look and feel hot!) very worth in my view, but I have seen reported not everyone has a success story.

 

I diet, I run every other day 5 to 8 kilometers, and I don't drink or eat fast food.

 

Hope you like it.

Is it permanent, and you just want more change than the first treatments offered?

[KaliLove]

Thanks Charlie! I'm saving up for it at the moment but I've read a couple of horror stories online and they made me nervous. Most of the stories have been positive though.

The purpose of liposuction is for those genetically programmed pockets of fat that cannot be dieted away unless you want to look skeletal. It's safe if your doctor is experienced.

It permanently removes fat cells from that area. But if you overeat, those extra calories have to go somewhere and they might end up under your chin or above your knees or everywhere else you have fat cells. Don't get lipo until you are at your ideal weight and then don't gain any weight afterward.

Yikes - you're right FC - it could come back in a worse place than where it was removed -

 

Conducted last fall, the study revealed that that a year after liposuction removed fat, it came back. And horrors of horrors, it reappeared mostly in the upper abdomen, shoulders and triceps (the back of the arms).

 

The image is appalling and sounds like something out of a bad science fiction movie. The researchers explained that the fat did not appear again in the area from which it was removed because the fat cells there were destroyed. But, like water during a rainstorm seeking a dry creek to fill, the new fat being made by the body sought out fat cells in other parts of the body, often some distance away from the fat cells that had been sucked out. Presumably--and this is painful to contemplate--if one had liposuction in all the traditional areas where fat is usually deposited (and we all are familiar with those places), then the new fat might seek out fat cells in places where it normally doesn't go, including the face and head. "Fat head" might not just be a term of derision but also a description of new fat deposits.

I worked out with a woman who'd had this done in her lower abs and when the fat came back it looked really odd -- like she had fat from under her breasts to just abut belly button level, but not below, because that's where the lipo had been used. She wasn't overweight, either. She'd gained maybe 5 pounds or so from when she'd had the lipo.

 

I wouldn't do it.

Core workouts....cheaper and healthier.

 

Eat less (if you have to), and bang out some good core workouts. It can be really hard to remove all of that fat, because it's an area your body naturally wants to store it. But if you're doing the right workout, and burning a lot of calories both through those workouts plus getting really good cardio workouts, you can make it almost unnoticeable.

 

People tend to really neglect the core when working out. They go crazy on arms, shoulders, chest and back, and the. Their poor little core just sits there all soft and mushy.

 

There are a million exercises which work the core out, and the best are those that work other areas of your body at the same time. If you have a nice diversity, and do them consistently, you can get rid of love handles/belly fat fairly easily w/o lipo.

I work out all the time, I do a lot of calorie burning stuff. I just can't get rid of my little belly.

What kind of core exercises do you do, and how often?

[KaliLove]

I do Pilates

I do Pilates

You need high intensity exercise and to control your diet. Pilates is a complete waste of time for this.

[Eternal Sunshine]

I would never do lipo because my body shape is perfect as it is

 

I just need to lose a bit more fat everywhere.
