SHAPING YOUR BODY

Liposuction is a surgical method that removes extra fat deposits and shapes the body. Excess fat is removed from under the skin with the use of an ultrasonic probe that emulsifies the fat and then removes it with suction.

Liposuction can be performed on the buttocks, abdomen, hips, thighs, neck, arms, calves, back, or face. A liposuction treatment may include more than one site, for example, the back, abdomen, and thighs all on the same day.

Liposuction can reduce breast size in men, (gynecomastia) or to remove fat tumors (lipomas). However, it is most commonly used for cosmetic body shaping.

Liposuction in any form is not an alternative for exercise and dieting. Liposuction helps to remove stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to conventional weight-loss methods.

Liposuction treatments are preformed by dermatologists or by plastic surgeons. However, any authorized physician may perform a liposuction treatment. While some physicians’ professional associations may recommend training for liposuction therapies, no standardized training is required.

You can always ask your doctor whether he or she has had specialized training in liposuction procedures, and whether they have successfully performed liposuction before. Nevertheless, remember, even the best-screened patients under the care of the experienced and best-trained physicians may experience complications from liposuction treatments.

Liposuction carries greater risk for individuals with medical problems like significant heart disease, diabetes or poor blood circulation, lung disease, or those who have recently had surgery near the area to be contoured. Therefore, always seek out a well-qualified physician and inform your doctor of any medical conditions you may have.

Liposuction has helped many people get on their way to a healthier lifestyle. By reducing fatty areas on the body, self-esteem is renewed, a commitment to eating healthier develops, and overall health and well-being restored.

KENNY ROGERS PLASTIC SURGERY

So who does not know Kenny Rogers? The man who made poker one of the most well known old west games with his soulful “The Gambler” song in the early 1980’s. He has long been a staple of the country music scene even though he seems to be a bit behind the times when it comes to the pop music that now passes for country. This is nothing that surprises many as Rogers has been linked to a good many stars with his duets and such. Of course there is the matter that he has had several wives. He has many times confessed that he is incredibly hard to live with and can be a bad husband at times. So many people are now asking how he managed to get the new youthful look. Once he was the rugged looking type that made the songs he sang about the old west and such have some credibility but now that has all changed. There has been some Kenny Rogers’ plastic surgery going on and that is no surprise to anyone in the scene.

Early in his career Rogers was often times teased about his weight. While he has never been what you would call fat, he has been heavy and sometimes looked a bit bloated. For this he enlisted some help to make himself more on the cutting edge of the new stars that were appearing. He managed to get his weight under control and that meant a lot of work but it has worked for him well. Then to add insult to injury he was becoming a bit old looking. The many lines around his eyes showed the signs of his lifestyle which sometimes mirrored the men in his songs. His constant on the go theme of life had finally caught up with him and there was little that he himself could do about it. The damage had been done and Kenny Rogers’ plastic surgery seemed to be the only answer.

Kenny Rogers’ plastic surgery seemed to be a disaster from the start. He went in to have some of the aging look taken care of and ended up looking horrible. This is one of the more sore spots for Rogers as he tells a good many reporters that this is not the way that he intended to look but that is what he got. He knows all to well that the skin around his eyes is pulled too tight and that his face looks like it may rip open. Even though his new wife tells him that he looks great, he knows better and is enlisting the help of a team of plastic surgeons to undo what has been done already.
