How to get rid of love handles

“Muffin Top”, “Love Handles”, “Hip Rolls” or just plain annoying, are the bulges on the sides above the hips. They are unwanted fatty deposits seen in both men and women. The cause for these “Love Handles” seems to be hormonal and some what gender specific. In men the “love handles” are usually at a slightly higher level and fill the lower parts of the flanks. Love handles in women are right above the pelvic bone sitting on the hips extending beyond the sides towards the back. Love handles in women are sometimes termed as Hip Rolls because of their roll like shape and location above the hips.

The reason why they seem to be under the influence of hormones is because of their difference in shape and location and lack of response dieting and exercising. Many patients tell me their love handles/hip rolls “run in my family.” It’s true genetic does play a part in these unwanted fatty deposits. The size of the Love Handles can increase with weight gain but may not disappear with exercise and diet or may easily appear at the first sign of weight gain.

If you have tried diet and exercise  and have zero or little luck expelling your love handles the best way to get rid of Love handles is Lipo Sculpture.

What is Lipo Sculpture of the Hip Rolls/Love Handles

Some doctors may use large cannulas for the suctioning fat. Large cannulas, suction out more fat with each pass, rather than the smaller cannulas (3mm) used with Lipo Sculpture. When you utilize the smaller cannulas the fat is suctioned out a little at a time and a more controlled procedure can be performed; yielding in more sculptured better looking results.

How to look younger without looking unnatural…

What if celebrities knew about a 1 time procedure that could take 10-15 years off their  face without the “windswept” unnatural appearance? A procedure that not only erases wrinkles and lines and sun damage, but also rebuilds collagen, without cutting, pulling or scaring.

Dr. Thomas’ office knows of such a procedure. After undergoing this procedure many of Dr. Thomas’ patients look their natural selves only younger. This procedure is called Exoderm and Dr. Thomas has been performing it for over 11 years.

Many news sources mock or make fun off bad plastic surgery. I tend to agree that many celebrities and people go over board with fillers and Botox and Face Lifts. Remember plastic surgery is like anything else. Everything in moderation and a little goes a long way.

I think many a celebrity and regular folks who want to look younger, have nicer skin and do not want to look “done” would benefit from this non-surgical Exoderm procedure.

With many of the 50 – 70 some things out there who are getting face lifts and changing their natural looks with over doing fillers and Botox, isn’t it time that there is an alternative procedure?

_____________________________________________

Let’s look at some aging celebrities and see how Exoderm could have or can benefit them:

Klint Easwood – Age: 70’s

Here is a picture of Klint Eastwood. In his aged picture, Klint has age spots, sun damage, deep wrinkles, fine lines and loss of collagen. Exoderm can address every single one of those aging issues.

See the photos below of actual Exoderm patients that had similar aging issues as Klint. Try to envision what Exoderm could do for Klint.

Our Next Celebrity is Susan Sarandon

Susan is aging beautifully. It looks like she has not done a thing to her face. For Susan Exoderm will just lift the sagging jowls, get rid of the crows feet around her eyes and improve her overall skin tone. She probably would not have to wear as much makeup.

Let’s take a look at some Patients who have had Exoderm to address similar aging issues as Susan.

___________________________________________________

Here are some celebrities who have undergone Plastic Surgery for Aging issues who may of benefited from a more natural Procedure like Exoderm.

Many a time celebrities over fill lips and chins with fillers because there is nothing out there like Exoderm that improves lines and builds collagen around the lips and chin area.

Let’s look at some Exoderm Patients that have had significant improvement with  the “troubled” mouth area.

Exoderm will build collagen and improve lines and wrinkles around the mouth & chin & cheeks without injections or Botox.

Let’s look at the next celebrity Kenny Rogers

Dr. Thomas speculates that Mr. Rogers has had a brow lift and face lift. He looks very different than his younger picture. Does he look good different or bad different? That’s for you to decide.

Let’s look at an Exoderm patient who has had Exoderm for similar aging issues as Kenny Rodgers.

This patient looks younger, more refreshed and most importantly he looks natural.

Dr. Thomas answers many commonly asked questions about Liposuction… (Read on)

1. Are the results of Liposuction permanent? Can the fat come back?

We all carry a certain number of fat cells in our body. When we gain weight we do not add more fat cells, instead each existing fat cell becomes larger. With the above knowledge in mind, we can safely say that the results of Liposuction are permanent unless one puts on excess weight; in which case the suctioned areas will expand much less than the rest of the body.

2. How much does liposuction surgery cost?

The cost of Liposuction is determined by the time it takes to perform the procedure. The more areas to be suctioned the higher will be the cost. The exact cost of Liposuction can only be determined after an examination during the consultation.

3. Will liposuction tighten up loose skin?

Since Liposuction creates a wound under the skin and all wounds heal by a certain amount of contracting and shrinking the skin over the Liposuctioned area usually shrinks to a certain degree. If the skin is minimally loose it usually shrinks nicely, if it is very loose it will not shrink significantly.

4. Is it true that other areas get fat after liposuction?

There is no evidence that suctioning one area will result in weight gain in other areas, unless one actually put on weight in which case unsuctioned areas will expand more than the suctioned ones which may give an impression that fat has crept to the rest of the body.

5. Is liposuction surgery painful?

Pain after Liposuction is less than other surgeries because there are no large incisions. Patients usually experience moderate amount of soreness during the first few days which is easily controlled with prescribed pain medication. Some patients will bruise which is treated with natural medication such as Arnica.

6. When can exercising be resumed?

Walking is encouraged early on, however active exercise should be avoided for 4 weeks and the tight garment provided should be worn for 6 weeks.

Plastic Surgery Before and After Photos – What to look for

This is laser lipo. See the Irregularities in the skin (after photo). Lumps, bumps and deep wholes. This is because the laser can melt through the fat too quickly and burn too close to the skin. After the laser damages a certain layer of fat too close to the skin (deep burn), it produces a lumpy effect. A typical Patient surfing the net for before and after photos won’t know to look for this type of irregularity. Patients typically will only look at the amount of fat that has been removed but not the total end results.

What is a Tummy Tuck Specialist?

A Tummy Tuck Specialist is a Doctor who specializes in Abdominoplasty.  Like in many fields, a Plastic Surgeon can specialize in certain areas of interest and study. For Plastic Surgeons, they specialize in areas of the body; face, breasts, stomach, legs, etc… When a Plastic Surgeon “specializes” in certain area of the body it can mean a few things: A. they enjoy working on this area of the body B. They typically have an advanced technique that they have developed that yields extraordinarily beautiful results and C. They have had the chance to perform 100’s of the same procedure, each case proving to be unique in their own right.

What this means is that each individual patient gets beautiful results by a physician who understands the surgery and has a working knowledge of how the same procedure can uniquely benefit each patient. Also a Tummy Tuck specialist performs his/her own special twist on a technique. For example: Dr. Ivan Thomas, Tummy Tuck Specialist in Beverly Hills, performs what is called a High Lateral Tension Tummy Tuck. Not only is this a more advanced technique Tummy Tuck, but Dr. Thomas also added a unique  variation to the technique, which results in tighter and flatter results for his patients. Qualification as a “Tummy Tuck Specialist” can only come from years of experience, repetition, a flawless reputation and proper certification.

What type of certifications should a Tummy Tuck Specialist have?

With any plastic surgery physician, a patient should look for certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). This ensures that the Physician has gone through rigorous training and board certification by the only board in American who is able to deem medical specialties, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).

Things a Tummy Tuck Specialist will evaluate for candidacy

A Tummy Tuck specialist will evaluate the potential patient for candidacy before recommending a Tummy Tuck procedure. A reputable Tummy Tuck Specialist will consider.

• How much intro –abdominal fat (inside fat) the patient has
• How much fat the patient has underneath the skin
• The extent of laxity that the patient’s stomach muscles & skin
• The patients skin elasticity and thickness
• The patient’s overall health and medical history
• The patient’s ideal weight and size
• If the patient has realistic expectations for their final results
