Things You Ought To Know First Before Undergoing Liposuction SurgeryWritten by Charlene J. Nuble
According to medical dictionary of Medline Plus, liposuction is removal of excess body fat by suction with specialized surgical equipments, typically performed by a plastic surgeon.With removal of excess body fat, body appearance improves and evens out distorted body parts. Breasts, buttocks, abdomen, and face area are some of most popular body parts that undergo liposuction. Foremost reason why people resort to liposuction is for cosmetic reasons. They want to eradicate "love handles", unsightly fat bulges, an abnormal chin line, etc. Liposuction also helps improve sexual function by reducing fat deposits on inner thighs, thus allowing easier access to vagina. Another reason for undergoing liposuction is body shaping that cannot be achieved by diet and/or exercise. A note of caution, liposuction is not a cure for generalized obesity. Liposuction is not as easy as just going to doctor and telling him or her, "I want a liposuction right now." People who want to have liposuction must meet certain criteria: 1) There should be a preliminary consultation. This includes history of patient, a comprehensive physical examination, and a psychological health examination; 2) There should be a second consultation to give time for patient to think over planned liposuction surgery; 3) If patient is married, spouse's presence may be required during consultation; 4) The patient should ask questions about liposuction, express reasons for consultation, and must feel satisfied with answers to their questions; 5) The patient must fully understand pre-operative liposuction preparations, liposuction procedures, and precise post-operative liposuction care to avoid lethal complications; 6) The patient must have realistic expectations. Liposuction enhances body appearance and boost self-confidence but it will never result to a perfect body. Because liposuction is a medical procedure, there are risks involved. Some of complications that may happen upon having liposuction are: * Fluid imbalance due to removal of a lot of liquid during liposuction and/or injection of large amounts of liquid during liposuction which can result to shock, heart problems, or kidney problems.
| | The 3 Day DietWritten by Helen Laxton
The 3 Day Diet is a 'crash diet', designed specifically for people who want to lose large amounts of weight very fast. Exponents say 3 Day Diet is chemically and enzyme balanced, and if followed to letter, you can allegedly lose 10 pounds in 3 days, hence name.While we here at www.supadiet.com have not tried this diet, we would point out that medical opinion generally believes that 'crash' diets, including 3 day diet, can be dangerous. Typically, research suggests that these 'faddy' diets encourage a starve / binge cycle, which is not good for your general health. Any diet offering more than 1 or 2 pounds a week loss should generally be undertaken only under medical supervision, because of inherent dangers of rapid weight loss. Another consideration is need to keep weight off once you have lost it. Many followers of 'crash diets' find that although they shed pounds fast, they then pile even more than they lost back on, because fad diet is not sustainable over long time periods. For steady weight control, you need a regular balanced diet with all essential vitamins, minerals and proteins. Anyway, having said that, basis of 3 Day Diet is simple, ordinary foods commonly found in kitchen. You don't have to buy special diet meals, or eat foodstuffs you normally wouldn't find tasty. No special expensive recipes or ingredients are required. As diet name suggests, used for only 3 days at a time, 3 Day Diet is very short term, and lasts only 3 days. After that, you are supposed to return to your normal diet (but without 'overeating' of course!) for 4 days. This completes a full week, and then you start again. Unlike some crash diets, 3 day Diet does not involve starving yourself - you eat at normal times, and meals are 'normal' too. The theory behind 3 day diet is that by combining certain foods you can create a digestive reaction that boosts your metabolism and helps you burn fat far faster than normal. There is not really any scientific evidence for this, although followers of diet are adamant this is what happens.
