Non Surgical Tummy Tuck

Those who wish to get their liposuction surgery done would be glad to know that several alternatives are now present. All of those who wish to avoid swelling and scarring along with other side-effect can now get themselves a non surgical tummy tuck. Non surgical tummy tucks are usually carried out after liposuction surgery so as to remove excess fat that was not removed. This saves patients from having to go under a liposuction surgery all over again.

Three types of non surgical tummy tucks procedures are now available, which are:

Injection Lipolysis

As obvious from the name, this procedure involves the use of an injection through which a chemical solution of lecithin is injected into the fatty deposits which melts them away. Patients usually require 2-3 injections in this procedure to remove all unwanted fat. This procedure can be carried out on the arms, legs, jowls, abdomen, neck, sides and thighs.

What is to be noted is that this procedure is still in the testing phase and has not been permitted by the FDA. But the good news is that the testing that has been carried out as yet seems promising.

Ultrasonic Lipolysis

Ultrasonic lipolysis is carried out through the injection of sterile water along with anesthetic into the area that needs to be worked on. After this, the patient receives an ultrasonic massage that has to be repeated around 4 times within one week. Fats dissolve over time through this procedure. Treatment usually has be repeated for some time before the desired results prevail.

Titan/Tri-active Lasers

Titan/Tri-active lasers heaten collagen fibers and lessen them down which helps tighten up the skin. This procedure is perhaps the most popular out of all that have been mentioned and does not necessitate injections or anesthetics.

Most times, these techniques are combined with each other and if you wish to find out which procedure is best for you, you must get in touch with your surgeon. These procedures can also be avoided by maintaining a healthy lifestyle along with a balanced diet and regular exercises. But then again, in some cases the surgical or non surgical procedures are simply unavoidable.

Get in touch with your family doctor first before deciding whether you should get a non surgical tummy tuck or not. Your doctor would refer you to an experienced surgeon who would help you make the final decision. Make sure you ask everything you want to know, involving the hazards involved before taking a decision.
