The Real Story about Cellulite and Liposuction
Cellulite is the repulsive word that describes the bumpy looking fat most women get on their bodies. It’s also referred to as “cottage cheese” because of the bumpy or bulging look that goes with it. Cellulite’s noticeability comes from it forming on the layer of fat that is closest to the skin. It’s the expansion of fat cells that cause collagen fibers, in turn creating that visible stretching and wrinkling of the skin.
Cellulite and liposuction can go together, however, performed separately, this technique of extracting fat is not completely effective for cellulite. Liposuction by itself may worsen the appearance of the skin by sucking out the cushion of fat that sits just below the skin. This is important information when deciding if the loss of cellulite and liposuction procedures is the right one for you. This is an important decision and there are other treatments available that deal with tough cellulite problem.
A Technique That helps Eliminate Your Problem Areas
Another popular less invasive treatment for the elimination of Cellulite is Endermologie. This is an alternative to cellulite and liposuction surgery which is a much more involved and invasive technique to remove the undesired bumpy look of fat under the skin commonly found on women’s legs, hips, and buttocks.
Endermologie is a process created by a French man as a way to treat his injuries. The Endermologie therapy is designed to be combined with the removal of cellulite and liposuction and is a technique for refining the most superficial skin dimples.
It is a vacuum procedure that essentially rolls and presses on the fat under the skin while stretching the skin so that the fat is not as visible. Unfortunately, the results of Endermologie are generally found to be only temporary and require ongoing treatment sessions to maintain the results.
Achieving the best results is usually a combination and course of 15 - 20 Endermologie therapy sessions with a program of exercise, diet, good hydration and removal of cellulite and liposuction.
As with any procedure there are always examine the benefits and risks that accompany these types of procedures. Decide what is right for you. Cellulite and liposuction is certainly no exception so be sure to discuss with your doctor the costs, potential complications and effectiveness before deciding if this is a worthwhile way to remove cellulite and liposuction.
