No matter how hard you try to lose weight by eating right and sticking with an exercise regiment, it may be hard for you to drop excessive pounds and stubborn fat. To give yourself a weight loss boost, you might start to consider different options that can help you get rid of the body fat that doesn't seem to be going away. Laser body sculpting and liposuction are two procedures that might be able to finally give you the body you want. Here is some information about both procedures.

Laser Body Sculpting

In this procedure, incisions are made into your body and a so-called "cold laser" targets your body's fat in that area and disrupts the membranes of the fat cells. As a result, the fat cells effectively melt, drain into your lymph system and are evacuated naturally. Because the laser itself is typically not that large, this procedure is best if you have trouble spots or small areas of extra fat.

What does that feel like for you? As the laser goes over the spot where you want to get rid of fat, you might not feel anything at all. If you do experience soreness, it will soon fade. Because laser body sculpting is a non-invasive procedure, your recovery time is very short and you can, in many cases, continue your activities for the day without a major disruption or a need to stay in bed. You may see some bruising at the site where the laser was, but that will fade over time.

Liposuction

Liposuction is an older procedure that is typically used when you have more extra weight in larger areas around your body. In this procedure, incisions are made into your body where you want to lose weight; the number of incisions usually depends on how much fat is being removed. Next, a tube is inserted into the incision site and body fat is sucked out. 

Liposuction usually requires a longer recovery time than laser body sculpting, due to the incisions. There may also be some bruising. 

With the information detailed above, you can make smarter decisions about the kind of surgical procedure you want to have done so you can lose stubborn body fat. Be sure to talk to a clinic like Dr. Robert Fortino Premier Weight Loss Physicians to find out if you are a suitable candidate for them. You may soon be able to have the body you have been working so hard for.
