Cellulite Surgery

Surgery to get rid of cellulite should be considered only as a last resort. Surgery is also the most expensive treatment available for cellulite reduction. There are three types of surgery done for cellulite problems.

Liposuction

Liposuction is the most commonly performed surgical procedure for cellulite reduction and body contouring. This procedure involves removal of fat from under the skin. However, it does not remove the underlying layers of fat responsible for cellulite. If liposuction is performed at the lower layers or subcutaneous fat layer, secondary effects such as profuse bleeding, swelling and scarring may occur. Liposuction is good for slimming down hips, thighs and buttocks. Liposuction is often done in combination with a non surgical procedure called Endermology.

Lower Body Lift

This is a complicated procedure recommended for someone with extensive cellulite, accompanied by fat pads on the hips and loose skin. This procedure involves lifting the skin of the whole lower body like a facelift in that region.

Mesotherapy or Micro surgery

Mesotherapy is a treatment that stimulates mesoderm or middle layer of the skin. This in turn relieves a wide variety of symptoms and ailments including cellulite. The connective tissue of the body or collagen that makes up the bone, ligaments, tendons, and muscle is derived from the mesoderm. The mesoderm also involves the fat tissue and connective tissues around organs. In this treatment, an analysis is first made to determine the cause of cellulite. Then a combination of conventional and homeopathic medicines is injected just under the skin.

Youthful Essence and Microdermabrasion

Many women are desperate to stave off the effect of those advancing years. After all, we live in a youth-obsessed world. Aging is no longer respected for its advantages like wisdom and experience. Instead it is ridiculed and made fun of by those who aren’t smart enough to realize that someday they too will grow old.

One of the most effective ways to help erase the fine lines and wrinkles that spell "age" is through microdermabrasion. However, the process is confusing to many and believed to be out of reach by others. Let’s see if we can dispel both of those thinking patterns.

The purpose of microdermabrasion is to remove the surface dead skin cells and discoloration. The result is uncovering the soft, younger looking skin beneath the surface. Physicians have touted the benefits of exfoliation for decades. However, for far too long, such treatments were limited to the wealthy. It wasn’t until the late 90’s that home microdermabrasion systems became available. In the beginning, they were also expensive; out of the reach of mid to lower income individuals. Some of them also proved a bit too harsh for sensitive or delicate skin that could not take the rough crystals used to complete the process.
