Unwanted local fat deposits negatively affect body shape and image. Diets, exercise, medications and/, liposuction, or gastric surgeries may effectively control obesity. Surgical or minimally invasive body shaping can dramatically improve the shape and proportion of your body, enhancing your appearance and boosting your self-confidence. For patients who require less improvement or who are unwilling or unable to undergo a surgical procedure, nonsurgical fat reduction is an alternative for surgical procedures. Nonsurgical and minimally invasive options for fat reduction options use a variety of modalities, including freezing, ultrasound, radiofrequency, infrared light, vacuum massage, and injectable medication. Realistic expectations on the part of patients and the appropriate application of technologies by surgeons are the key to success in achieving patients’ aesthetic goals.
