The liposuction diaries - More lipo than I can handle - 7 March 2008

Posted by Felicity No comments


Muffin top? What muffin top?

I know I’ve been silent for a couple of weeks – sorry about that. I have mostly been spending my time putting on weight, due to a diet consisting almost entirely of chocolate, wine and cigarettes – delightful. So I now as well as hating my thighs more than ever, I am also starting to take a strong dislike to other parts of my curvaceous form, namely, my knees (yes, I was not blessed with good leg genes, thanks Ma) and my rapidly expanding muffin top. Clearly I need to do something now. I must point out that diet and exercise are at the top of my list, but I feel more hateful than ever and still need some additional assistance with shifting the flab.

My last post was about laser lipo (I’m yet to go and have that done) but I’ve also just been told about another alternative. Regular readers may remember that I was planning on asking the “Knife Coach” Wendy Lewis her thoughts on the topic – well I met the lovely Wendy last week, and she gave me some good advice – she believes that for effectiveness, nothing beats normal liposuction, but if you’re not into that (and I’m not), her advice is to “trade down” on each procedure until you are comfortable. In this case, the next level is Smart Lipo (still not happy) and then something called Ultra Shape. Well what do you know, I’ve been invited to the UK launch of this very procedure next week!

In a nutshell, Ultra Shape works like this: similar to laser lipo, in that it is non invasive and your body disposes of the fat naturally through your waste systems. It uses ultra sound to breakdown the fat cells (popping them, a bit like you can do with kidney stones but less intense). The fat then gets expelled through your lymphs and liver – the advice is to not eat afterwards as your body is busy processing this fat. Apparently there’s no down time either, which is interesting.

Anyway, since I now have at least three burgeoning fatty areas on my lower half that I want to get rid of, I am going to try this procedure as well. All in the name of telling you what works!
