Do you have a part of your body you wish you could improve on? Everyone likely does but not all of them resort to cosmetic surgery to get their new "dream" body part. Of all adults, women complain of fat deposits and cellulite they would like to be rid of so liposuction and cellulite treatments to treat those problem areas are among the most popular cosmetic procedures. The body parts most targeted with liposuction and cellulite treatments include the thighs, buttocks, hips and belly, the very areas on women which tend to trap many of the fat cells in the body.
Liposuction is perhaps the most popular cosmetic procedure that aims to remove fat stores in the body. The basis of this surgical procedure, regardless of where it is performed, is the breaking up and siphoning out of fatty cells and deposits. Here is an itemization of each type of procedure that falls under the liposuction category:
* Ultrasonic liposuction – When it comes to this kind of liposuction and cellulite treatment, the ultrasonic method uses a special cannula that transmits an ultrasonic pulse which vibrates and breaks up the fat cells to liquefy them so that they can be easily suctioned out of the body.
* Tumescent liposuction – For this type of liposuction and cellulite treatment, the procedure involves injecting the trouble areas with fatty deposits with a saline type solution. This saline swells just the fatty tissue so the surgeon can find out exactly where to place the cannula which siphons out the fat.
* Laser liposuction – Lasers also help dissolve the fatty deposits so they can then be easily removed. Laser treatment is far less invasive than traditional liposuction but is not always used.
The cottage cheese or orange peel look aka cellulite is a problem many people have. Having those dimpled, rippled hips, belly and thighs can be embarrassing. With liposuction and cellulite treatments, the overall rippled look can be diminished. While liposuction is popular for fat removal, it is not the best option for the removal of cellulite. The reason being is that liposuction is best for removing fat in the underlying tissues. Cellulite is right below the skin and therefore too superficial for effective liposuction.
Liposuction is by far the best procedure for overall fat removal in your body. With cellulite, Mesotherapy could be an option as well as topical creams and lotions. Of course, adopting good nutritional practices and exercise programs are important as well. While liposuction and cellulite treatments are widely accepted, did you know that some of these cosmetic procedures are also used elsewhere in the body? If you lost a lot of weight and had excess tissue hanging around the neck or arms, liposuction could be done. Of course, the recovery for these liposuction procedures would differ from the liposuction done on other body parts.

You will need to compare different surgical practices as well as results of different liposuction and cellulite treatments before any conclusion should be reached.
