Got Rid of My Bulge with Cool Sculpting
The More Natural Solution: CoolSculpting®
Cryolipolysis® popularly know as Coolsculpting is the non-invasive cooling of adipose tissue to induce lipolysis – the breaking down of fat cells – to reduce body fat.
Developed by Harvard scientists, the FDA-cleared, patented procedure uses a targeted cooling process that kills the fat cells underneath the skin, literally freezing them to the point of elimination, and requiring no knives, suction hoses, needles, or scars. Because only fat cells are frozen, your healthy skin cells also remain healthy. Once crystallized, the fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from your body.
Check out this article posted on Smart Beauty Guide to hear form a patient who’s satisfied with her CoolSculpting results:
“I was able to pick out a fat area that I didn’t like, starting with the saggy area on my back because I hated it. My doctor set me up the next week, each side took about an hour. I wasn’t uncomfortable in any way, shape, or form,” says Belinda.
Coolsculpting is a nonsurgical body contouring procedure that uses controlled cooling in an attempt reduce fat. The human body will then naturally flush out the treated fat cells. However, Coolsculpting does not produce the same results as liposuction.

Can a Mommy Makeover Restore Your Pre Baby Body?
Mommy makeover are a procedure that have been receiving a lot of media attention. Patients who have never previously visited my office requesting a “mommy makeover” even when they don’t know exactly what that means! I thought it might be a good idea to go over what the term means, and why it is becoming so popular.
What is a “Mommy”?
First off, every one should know what a “mommy” is – we all have one! (And I’m even married to one!) All joking aside, any woman who has children is a mom, and is aware of the changes that come along with childbearing. Some women were lucky and were not negatively affected by pregnancy and breast-feeding, while the process has literally devastated others. A mommy makeover is any set of surgical procedures aimed at reversing the changes associated with childbearing, with the goal of returning to the “pre-baby” body. Since the changes are not always the same for every woman, the procedure is customized to suit the individual patient’s needs.

After Undergoing a Tummy Tuck, Here are the Top 9 Tips for Your Recovery
Certainly a part of anyone older than 30 who has a fantasy body makeover will probably involve a tummy tuck. Cut out your seemingly impossible to eliminate stomach fat and do it now! However, as miraculous as the results can be, it is still a surgery and there’s careful preparation and post-surgery considerations that need to be taken into account for the best possible recovery (and results!)
Proper diet before (and after)
As much as we may think we’re going to be instantly skinny post-surgery, we still have to pay attention to what we’re putting in our body, before and after. “I recommend a normal diet beforehand. There should not be any significant attempts to lose weight immediately before surgery,” says board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Antonio Gayoso. “We also advise our patients to be off of medications and over-the-counter supplements that are blood thinners,” he notes.
Avoid infections
With all surgeries, there are risks. But we can lessen those risks by prepping right. “Before surgery we ask patients to bathe with a chlorhexidine solution in order to decrease bacterial counts and therefore decrease the chance of infection,” explains Dr. Gayoso.
