Do I Need a Liposuction?

The concept of liposuction is surprisingly simple. Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body's contour by removing excess fat from deposits located between the skin and muscle. Liposuction involves the use of a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula (from the Latin word for reed, tube, cane). The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. Fat removal is accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse and thus result in an improved body contour.

BOTOX®

BOTOX®is not only limited to reducing wrinkles around the eyes but, can also make the T-zone on your face, fuller. BOTOX® is not to be confused with dermal fillers which smoothes out unwanted wrinkles and folds - not paralyzing them. Needles smaller than your average injections are used for injecting BOTOX®, making pain more bearable. This can be compared to tweezing your eyebrows. Depending on the thickness of your skin and ethnicity, the BOTOX® treatment may have to be repeated every 3 to 6 months. Compared to ordinary, under the needle and thread surgeries, the scarring from BOTOX® treatments are minimal. Not much time is required for this procedure, a good 30 minutes will do. However, as much as we’d like to think that BOTOX® has no side effects, there are reports of minor bruising and headaches.
