Do you have areas on your body where stubborn fat has accumulated, and is seemingly not responsive to any amount of diet or exercise that you have done? Do you have cellulite? I can hear all of the women reading this, saying yes! Additionally, menopause causes hormonal changes within the body that can cause fat to accumulate around the waist, upper arms, and back. Pregnancy can cause your body to store fat in certain areas for milk production. Procedures to help you with these problems are available at Hermosa Plastic Surgery located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Liposuction, ultrasonic lipoplasty, Endermologie, and lipomassage are all options to consider.
Those who have small, localized areas of fat to be removed are good candidates for any of these procedures. A consultation can be made with Dr. Miguel Gallegos about liposuction. He will fully inform you of the treatment plans and procedures of any available liposuction treatment. Ultrasonic liposuction, or lipoplasty, is gentler than original liposuction, because it is less traumatic to the tissues of the body. Endermologie is a scientific breakthrough in which cellular stimulation is performed that is painless and noninvasive. Proven by 85 scientific studies, this method of mechanotransduction stimulates the skin surface to generate deep biological responses.
Cellulite affects 90% of women because of their hormonal functions. This is just an unpleasant fact that comes with being a woman. Endermologie and lipomassage are two ways of dealing with cellulite. These 100% natural treatments are totally painless, and are available at Hermosa Plastic Surgery in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The latest study in lipomassage revealed that 50% elimination of fat was attained, along with a 240% increase in collagen production, and a 160% increase of elastin! These results are variable, but the average comes from at least 6 sessions of 35 minutes each. This exciting procedure also helps you maintain skin firmness, and reshape and restructure your body.
If you choose ultrasonic lipoplasty, Dr. Gallegos will carefully select the areas for removal of excess fat. Tumescent fluid is first injected into the site. This fluid is a saline solution with anesthetic. A cannula (a thin, vacuum-like tube) is then inserted by the doctor by a small incision. The cannula transmits ultra-sonic waves into the area to break up the fat cells. Then they are gently sucked away. Final sculpting is performed by the doctor. This is achieved by tightening the underlying muscles to produce firmness, pulling the skin taut to create a smoother contour, and trimming off excess skin. The final step is the sutures which close the incision.
