ATLANTA, GA, March 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Liposuction is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States today. Liposuction is an effective way to remove up to ten pounds of fat from almost any area of your body, helping provide you with a slimmer, more attractive frame.

Typically, liposuction is used to treat areas where deposits of stubborn fat will not respond to diet and exercise. These areas include:

- Legs
- Hips
- Abdomen
- Back
- Arms
- Chest/breasts
- Neck and face

The liposuction technology that will best suit your needs should be determined by an experienced, board-certified* plastic surgeon. Working with a qualified plastic surgeon can reduce your risks for complications and help ensure pleasing and symmetrical results.
Types of Liposuction

All liposuction is based on the traditional method in which a small incision is made through which a cannula is inserted for the removal of fat. In addition to the traditional liposuction technique, other options include:

- Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) - PAL uses a cannula similar to that used in traditional liposuction to remove excess fat. However, with PAL, the cannula has an oscillating tip that breaks down fat and makes it easier to remove
- Ultrasonic Liposuction (UAL) - UAL uses ultrasound waves to break up deposits of fat, making them easier to remove. Like PAL, the cannula used in UAL oscillates to make removal that much easier
- Laser Assisted Liposuction (LAL) - Like the name suggests, the cannula used in LAL has a laser. This laser is used to liquefy fat for easier removal
- Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL) - RFAL uses radiofrequency to melt fat like butter. This makes extraction much easier
- Water Jet Liposuction - this technique uses a sterile saline solution to blast away fat like a power washer, making it easier to remove

As an added benefit UAL, LAL, and RFAL cause an elevation of skin temperature that has been proven to help skin better shrink to meet your new, thinner frame.

There are many types of liposuction available. Some techniques allow your plastic surgeon to make smaller incisions, minimizing both visible scarring and recovery time. Others are able to minimize damage to surrounding tissue, blood vessels, and nerve endings. In the end, the type of liposuction you choose should be based on the unique needs of your body. Working closely with an experienced plastic surgeon, the technique that will best meet your needs can be determined.

More than half of all cancer is preventable

2012-03-29

More than half of all cancer is preventable, and society has the knowledge to act on this information today, according to Washington University public health researchers at the Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis. In a review article published in Science Translational Medicine March 28, the investigators outline obstacles they say stand in the way of making a huge dent in the cancer burden in the United States and around the world. "We actually have an enormous amount of data about the causes and preventability of cancer," says epidemiologist Graham A. Colditz, MD, DrPH, ...

Fusion presents low proliferation risk, experts conclude

2012-03-29

American researchers have shown that prospective magnetic fusion power systems would pose a much lower risk of being used for the production of weapon-usable materials than nuclear fission reactors and their associated fuel cycle. The researchers, from Princeton University, found that if nuclear fusion power plants are designed to accommodate appropriate safeguards, there is little risk of fissile materials being produced for weapons, either secretly or overtly. Their results have been published today, 29 March, by IOP Publishing in the journal Nuclear Fusion. In ...

Truck Maintenance Issues

2012-03-29

An improperly maintained truck provides ample opportunity for serious injuries to everyone else on the road. While not a leading cause of truck accidents, improper maintenance resulting in collision is far from rare. When an accident is caused by an unmaintained truck, it is possible that several parties share responsibility for resulting damages. Working with an experienced truck accident attorney, you can determine who is liable for your injuries and pursue compensation for related medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Proper Vehicle ...

The path to personalized cancer treatment

2012-03-29

In the largest study of its kind, researchers have profiled genetic changes in cancer with drug sensitivity in order to develop a personalised approach to cancer treatments. The study is published in Nature on Thursday 29 March 2012. The team uncovered hundreds of associations between mutations in cancer genes and sensitivity to anticancer drugs. One of the key responses the team found was that cells from a childhood bone cancer, Ewing's sarcoma, respond to a drug that is currently used in the treatment of breast and ovarian cancers. The lowered toxicity of this treatment ...

Genome study confirms immune system link to disfiguring leg swelling

2012-03-29

Genetic variants in a region of the genome linked to our immune response have been linked to increased risk of podoconiosis, a disfiguring and disabling leg swelling caused by an abnormal reaction to the minerals found in soil. An estimated 4 million people worldwide suffer from the condition. In a study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Association of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland compared the genomes of 194 people affected by the disease from southern Ethiopia against 203 people who were ...

2012-03-29

If you are a woman who has always felt cursed with small breasts, part of your motivation for getting breast augmentation was likely to get more attention from men. But how do you respond if you suddenly suffer from literally an embarrassment of riches? Ignore Random Catcalls--You will likely get a loft of random male attention on the street. This is annoying, but a fact of life for any pretty girl, and likely you were not a complete stranger to it before. Any time men get together, they are always looking for diversion in the form of an attractive woman, and their catcalls ...

Neutrons uncover new density waves in fermion liquids

2012-03-29

Scientists working at the Institut Laue-Langevin, one of the world's leading centres for neutron science, have carried out the first investigation of two-dimensional fermion liquids using neutron scattering, and discovered a new type of very short wave-length density wave. The team believe their discovery, published in Nature, will interest researchers looking at electronic systems, since high temperature superconductivity could result from this type of density fluctuations. Fermi liquids are composed of strongly interacting fermion particles, a group that includes quarks, ...

Beyond GDP: Experts preview 'Inclusive Wealth' index at Planet under Pressure conference

2012-03-29

Brazil and India pay a high price for rapid economic growth, according to experts speaking at a major international meeting in London, Planet Under Pressure. Between 1990 and 2008, the wealth of these two countries as measured by GDP per capita rose 34% and 120% respectively. But a myopic focus on economic capital is flawed, scientists and economists at the conference argue. Natural capital, the sum of a country's assets, from forests to fossil fuels and minerals, declined 46% in Brazil and 31% in India, according to a new "Inclusive Wealth Indicator" designed to augment ...

NY Castle Doctrine Laws Provide Defense Against Home Intruders

2012-03-29

Similar to Englishmen in the 17th century, most New Yorkers probably consider their home to be their castle -- a refuge from the world. It is human nature to want to protect our "castles" from intruders. Perhaps rather unsurprisingly, this concept has a legal name called the Castle Doctrine. It is not a defined law, but a set of principles that has been adopted as some form of law in most states, including New York. Castle Doctrine laws allow people to use force, including deadly force if necessary, to protect themselves from intruders into their home, vehicles ...
