We’ve all been told that diet and exercise is the best way to lose weight. But for some individuals, that’s not enough to eliminate pockets of stubborn fat. Those who struggle to eliminate stubborn fat on their own might turn to a plastic surgery procedure like liposuction or UltraSlim. Both are used to improve contour and eliminate stubborn fat for good, so which should you choose?

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction uses tiny incisions where stubborn fat will be removed. Through these incisions, a thin tube called a cannula is placed to break up fat cells and remove them using a light suction. Because liposuction is a surgical procedure, anesthesia will be needed for your comfort during the process. You can also expect to have some swelling and discomfort after your procedure. Recovery time is needed to allow your body to heal properly and to avoid any strain on your incisions. Once you have gotten past recovery, you can enjoy a slimmer, well-contoured, and more proportionate figure!

Although liposuction involves all that comes with a surgical procedure, it can give you dramatic results in just one session. If your stubborn fat is severe and covers a large part of your body, liposuction is probably the best solution for you.

What is UltraSlim?

UltraSlim targets areas of stubborn fat without even touching the body! Treatment with UltraSlim uses red light systems to attack fat cells, causing them to release fatty acids and triglycerides. The cells are then left to be naturally processed by your body and eliminated for good. Treatment completes in about 30 minutes and you can return to your daily routine with no downtime. the idea of no needles, incisions, or recovery is what makes this treatment so appealing.

You might choose UltraSlim over liposuction if you aren’t ready for a surgical procedure to remove stubborn fat. While results might not be as dramatic as liposuction, patients lose an average of 3.5 inches of fat after one session with UltraSlim! Choose this non-surgical fat reduction option and you’ll be good to go.
