Ultrashape review - Real story "I've had ultrashape"

Told by Stella from forum.sofeminine.co.uk
Questions from other forum members about Ultrashape liposuction
"
I had an ultrashape (ultrasonic liposuction) treatment last week at a clinic in North London. I went a week before for a consultation and met the doctor to find out everything. The clinic was nice and professional so I booked up.

The treatment was really simple, didn't hurt and I have to go back in a few weeks to be measured up. You can loose 2.5cm in a treatment, thats my Ultrashape review"

Where does the fat go and are you left with flabby skin afterwards?

"I'm really happy to report that I lost just over 3cm on my tummy.

Your question is one for a ultrashape doctor but as far as i understand, the fat is broken down by your liver. No flabby skin after as its not a huge amount that was removed and my skin is quite elastic."
More info about where does the fat go you can find here in our blog

I noticed that you have had the ultrashape treatment and was wondering if you have been back for your re measurement yet?

"I went back at the end of last week....and I've lost just over 3cm during ultraqsonic lipusuction which is fantastic. I'm really pleased and so I think its money well spent.

Here is my Ultrashape review:
I paid £400(about $850) for my treatment. I think it all depends on the size of the area and obviously that varies from person to person. I was quoted anything from £300 (about $700) for a small area upwards, so I think the quote was fine. He tells you exactly how much it will be when he sees you so I guess if it sounds like too much, you may be able to make the area smaller.

I don't know why the clinic is cheaper, but the service is excellent. They have the added bonuses of offering free consultations and have free parking. I looked into central London clinics and they charged £200 (about $420) for a consultation and no parking. It makes a difference to the overall package i think! I hope my ultrashape review will be helpful"

I'm really thinking about but I'm a size 10 and it's just a stubborn area do you think it would work (ultrashape cosmedicate)?

"The clinic I went to (VIva clinic) offers a free consualtation, whereas the others charge in the region of £200($420)! ultrashape ellipseklinikken is good one too. My friend went to see the doctor (ultrashape cosmedicate) too but he said she was unsuitable. So, in this instance, I wouldn't worry about being ripped off. I think he would give you an honest opinion and seeing as the consultation if free, what have you got to loose?

I wish you well. I would be interested to know what you think."

Is aviliable ultrashape liposuction in colorado or USA?

"Sorry, i dont know" (Not yet, still waiting ultrashape FDA clearance )

Health Tip: Make Time for Breakfast

Health Tip: Make Time for Breakfast

(HealthDay News) -- Many people don't eat breakfast
because they say they don't have time or think it's a way to save on calories
and lose weight. But breakfast can be a very healthy way to start your day, the Nemours Foundation says.

People who eat breakfast, especially children, tend to eat healthier throughout the day and often weigh less than people who skip the day's first meal.

What you eat is important, so you should make healthy choices for
breakfast. Try to eat lots of fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins.
Eggs, fruit smoothies, and whole-grain pancakes, waffles, oatmeal and
cereals are healthy choices for breakfast.

If you're in a hurry, the Nemours Foundation suggests quick snacks like
yogurt, fruit, or whole-grain muffins. For a healthy snack, try mixing
cereal, pretzels, nuts, and dried fruit as opposed to prepackaged
breakfast pastries or doughnuts that are high in fat and sugar.

Gastric Sleeve Operation - Weight Loss Surgery

Sleeve gastrectomy(Gastric Sleeve Operation) is a new procedure that induces weight loss by restricting food intake. With this procedure, the surgeon removes approximately 60 percent of the stomach laparoscopically so that the stomach takes the shape of a tube or "sleeve."

The gastric sleeve operation is available as a gastric restrictive procedure and has all the disadvantages of such procedures, in that it only restricts solid foods to some extent and not liquids. The stomach remaining will gradually stretch and permit larger meals. In addition there is no band or other permanently restrictive device.

Gastric bypass surgery is a lifeline to those morbidly obese who are facing severe health problems. It involves the shrinking of the stomach by stapling or banding to allow less room for food and the bypassing of part of the intestine responsible for absorbing calories as well as nutrients. The result is that patients who undergo the operation lose weight because they both eat less and their bodies absorb less of what they eat.

Doctor comments about Gastric Sleeve Operation

The benefits of gastric bypass surgery are extensive and prolonged weight-loss resulting in significantly lowered risks of hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and other health conditions related to obesity. The risks involve surgical complications, nutritional deficiencies resulting in problems like anemia and osteoporosis, and "dumping syndrome," which is an unpleasant reaction that often occurs when patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery eat a meal high in simple sugars or fats.

Expected Weight Loss

This combined approach has tremendously decreased the risk of weight loss surgery for specific groups of patients, even when the risk of the two surgeries is added. Most patients can expect to lose 30 to 50% of their excess body weight over a 6 - 12 month period with the sleeve gastrectomy alone. The timing of the second procedure will vary according to the degree of weight loss, typically 6 - 18 months.

Ultrashape problems - One-stop doc shopping

The Cost of Liposuction Procedures

The short answer is $3,000 to $4,000.

The cost of a liposuction operation differs depending on many variables: the surgeon, the body areas, the number of areas treated, the type of areas treated, the amount of fat reduced from the body, and many more.

Not everyone has a clear idea on how much a liposuction would cost. If you are planning to have liposuction performed, then it is suggested that you know the price of the surgery before you end being surprised! There are certain factors on which the liposuction cost is dependent. The factors are as follows:

• The number of areas from where the fat is to be removed , simple formula: the more fat to be removed the more time it will take to remove it. The result for very obese patients is higher cost.

• Your body type

• The amount of fat to be removed

• Your sex. Fat is easier to remove from women than men. Fat in men is usually tougher than in women. The average time of liposuction for men will take longer.

• Lasers or Ultrasonic(Ulrashape). Will your doctor use lasers or ultrasonic liposuction? These are not standard procedures so you must ask if either will be used to make a fair comparison. Recent estimates show the average cost of liposuction surgery is about $3,000 in TX. In NY it is over $4,000.

How about medical insurance?

This is a point of interest for some people that cannot compete with the amount of the liposuction costs. Medical insurance is not available if a person undertakes an operation for cosmetic effects. Medical insurance can only cover liposuction costs if the operation is done with therapeutic purposes for alleviating pain or subcutaneous deformities.

Many patients are however put off by the high prices in Europe and the US and are traveling to India or Argentina for example to get the same treatment at vastly reduced cost of 60% or more! You can find good liposuction low-cost offers by clicking here

National average cost of Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery costs can vary widely from surgeon to surgeon, due to a number of factors. Doctors adjust plastic surgery costs based on expertise and experience, as well as the length and complexity of the procedure. Plastic surgery costs should be fully disclosed and agreed to up front, prior to any surgical procedure. Any plastic surgery costs added to the bill after the procedure should be reviewed with the patient.

Fees do not include anesthesia, operating room facilities or other related expenses. Fees will vary according to region of country and patient needs. These fees are averages only. Statistical data provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Fat Cell Clearance during Ultrashape(ultrasonic)

Fat is nature’s way of storing excess energy. Fat is efficient in storing energy as it takes up very little space and does not require water when stored in a cell. Up to 70% of the volume of fat cells is occupied with what we call fat.


When fat tissue is treated by the UltraShape(ultrasonic) device, the focused ultrasound beam is directed towards a specific area within the fat. The ultrasound wave causes mechanical disruption of the membranes of the fat cells, sparing the blood vessels, peripheral sensory nerves and connective tissue. Since the effect is focused to a specific depth, overlaying skin is not damaged.

WHAT HAPPENS TO FAT AFTER ULTRASHAPE TREATMENT?


The presence of large amounts of triglycerides, in interstitial fluid compartments, has no natural correlate. When outside the fat cell, triglycerides are normally packaged in discrete lipoprotein particles – a combination of apolipoproteins and lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, and cholesteryl esters. A series of metabolic pathways direct the trafficking of water insoluble molecules of cholesterol and triglyceride through the water-based circulatory system and to the interstitial fluid space1. During the passage through the arteries and interstitial space, lipoprotein-bound triglycerides are catabolized to free fatty acids and glycerol molecules.

There is little or no animal or clinical data describing the distribution and temporal processing of free triglycerides released from traumatized adipocytes. The only clinical correlate may be trauma cases of massive areas of soft tissues (car accidents, burns, etc).

This discussion focuses on the interstitial compartment and the metabolism of triglycerides, free fatty acids and glycerol. It is well established that interstitial fluid compartments contain lipoproteins, biological signals and chemical analytes that all interact and engage cells through cell surface membrane receptors or processes (phagocytosis, etc). The kinetic features of the interstitial compartment are now being understood for normal analyte, as about 42% of the total body water is extracellular.

Plastic Surgery for Fergie from black eyed peas

A lot of you guys asking me for photos of stars who did some plastic surgery.
Lets begin

Fergie (Stacy Ferguson) from black eyed peas pop band.

Possible surgeries: Can the gorgeous girl with the fringe really be the same person as jocker-lipped girl on the right ? Taken just five years later,this recent photo seems to show Fegrie from from black eyed peas with fuller lips, a different nose and eyes that look far more cat-like than before.
What the doctor says: Apart from the eyebrow piercing, I believe Fegrie from from black eyed peas may have had a brow lift or Bottox, which would explain why her eyes look different. I also think a lip augmentation is higjly likely.

Financing Plastic Surgery

Money Making/Saving Ideas

Soliciting Money

Building a web site "asking" for money from strangers & I don't think thats good idea. Also, the time you spend on the web site could be used on a job, second job, part-time job.

Money Saving Ideas

Cancel things you don't need like getting your nails done, your phone bills, luxury goods, etc. It can be done, I've done it!

Money Making Ideas

Bring clothes to a consignment shop (especially great if you have a lot of brand items).

Sell stuff on Ebay. You can made $2-3k selling collectibles and stuff.

Take on a part time job.

Save soda cans to redeem for extra cash!!!

Another frend of mine, said she did a car wash on the street corner in the summer in her bikini!

Lastly, be good to others because what comes around, goes around...

How one Woman Saved...

Well, I stopped going to school for one whole quarter, and picked up a second job so I was working 63 hours a week. I had to tell myself, every AM, when I was getting up at four AM to be at work at five, that it was for a good cause! I worked five AM to ten AM five days a week and then 12:30 PM to 9 PM five days a week at my permanent job. It was very hairy. I was crabby all the time. The only cool thing was that I got to see the sun rise almost every day and it was so pretty, I started taking pictures of it every day and I've got some super pictures of fog, sunshine, and the moon, anyway.

I paid my insurance on my car a year ahead to get that out of the way, and then I saved every penny of my second job, and most of my regular job. ! No movies, no going down town, no super size fries… no just joking heheh so I have wanted a breast augmentation for a long long long time, but I only have been saving for about four months.

Honestly I worked so hard on saving money! I wouldn't even go visit my boyfriend as much because I didn't want to waste the gas! So if you really really put your nose to the grind stone you will be able to do it no problem! If you cannot get a second job then I suggest just setting aside an amount every pay day , and open an account just for it, I had a boobs account and it was with a bank I don't usually go to, so it was out of sight and out of mind. :)

Cost of Breast Augmentation Surgery

The cost of breast augmentation varies by location, the surgeon and type of implants used. Prices can be as low as $3200 from Dr. Baker in Alabama to as high as $9000 in Chicago, NY and some surgeons in CA. Southeast is usually about $3400. Contact the surgeons you are interested in to request their fees. Anatomical, Spectrums and silicone implants are higher priced than typical round implants. The national average for the surgeon fee only is $3375. This does not include anesthesia, operating room fees or implants.

$800-1400 Cost of Breast Implants (generally about $600 for the cost of saline breast implants and about $800 and up for the cost of silicone breast implants).
$700 & up for the Nurses and Anesthesiologist depending on location
The rest is for your surgeon's skill & experience.

Add another $50 for prescriptions and $10-$30 for a larger, comfortable, hook or zip in the front bra. The best is a sports bra that zips in the front. Shannon recommends a CHAMPION Sports bra stating it was a remarkable difference as far as comfort and support. Also recommended: Barely There which is made with Microfiber. Target sells a regular front zip for about $10.

Implants: $1000

Liposuction procedure - Surgical Liposuction Process

Cannula is a tool is used in Liposuction surgery.

Cannula breaks up the fat cells, suctioning them out. The suction action is provided by a vacuum pump or a large syringe, depending on the surgeon's preference.

The problem with liposuction plastic surgery is that fluid is lost along with the fat, and it's vital that this fluid be replaced during the procedure to prevent shock. For this reason, patients need to be carefully supervised and receive intravenous fluids during and immediately after this procedure.

Fluid injection: a medicated solution is injected into fatty areas before the fat is removed. The fluid is a mixture of intravenous salt solution, lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and epinephrine (a drug that contracts blood vessels). The fluid helps to remove fat easily, helps reduce blood loss and provides anesthesia pre and post surgery and also helps reduce bruising.

Tumescent liposuction: a technique used on patients who only need a local anesthetic. This procedure can take up to 5 hours. Large volumes of fluid, often as much as three times the amount of fat to be removed are injected in this technique. The injected fluid contains an adequate amount of anesthetic, which could cut the anesthetist' costs.

The Super-Wet technique: similar to the tumescent technique, except that lesser amounts of fluid are used. Usually the amount of fluid injected is equal to the amount of fat removed. This technique often requires IV sedation or general anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours of surgery time.

Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL): a special cannula produces ultrasonic energy.

As it passes through the areas of fat, the energy blasts the walls of the fat cells, liquefying the fat. The fat is then removed with surgical liposuction. Liposuction carries greater risk for individuals with medical problems such as diabetes, significant heart or lung disease, poor blood circulation, or those who have recently had surgery near the area to be contoured. Always remember to check with a qualified surgeon who can advise you on other alternatives to remove fat.

Non-surgical Liposuction A new breakthrough in non-invasive body technology is Body Contouring

, which removes excess fat cells without surgery, focusing on the hips, stomach, thighs, bottoms and flanks.

This non-surgical liposuction is a safe, painless, surgery-free body contouring treatment. The process sends ultrasound beams into the problem area to destroy fat cells. The entire procedure is guided by innovative tracking technology that ensures smooth, uniform contouring.

Body Contouring is the latest successful technology for the effective removal of excess fat. Together with Ultrashape, a scientific breakthrough which redefines the contours of your body, it's a great alternative to surgery. There are no side effects to this treatment that takes between 1 and 2 hours, and it is possible to resume your daily routine immediately thereafter.

Liposuction can give you the body you so desire, but do remember to know all about the procedure before you decide to take the plunge.

Liposuction Techniques and Methods (Cellulite removal)

Liposuction is a way to remove fat quickly

and can help sculpt your body. Specific areas may include the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, it can remove stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to traditional dieting and exercise.

Over the last 10 years, surgical liposuction (also known as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy) has undergone some refinements. New techniques in the market now include ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, and the super-wet technique.

Surgical Liposuction

During liposuction, localized fat deposits are removed to re-contour certain areas of the body. Through a tiny incision, a narrow tube or cannula is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies beneath the skin. The cannula breaks up the fat cells, suctioning them out. The suction action is provided by a vacuum pump or a large syringe, depending on the surgeon's preference.

What is UltraShape? Full information.

Has anyone ever had or heard of Ultrashape. In December 2001 IHTIR first reported about the work of Dr. Ami Glicksman who is pioneering the use of ultrasound as a substitute for invasive surgery whereby unwanted fat deposits are sucked out of the body.

Ultrasound, whose use is primarily in imaging as well as breaking up clots in blood vessels has been harnessed and is being applied to "the selective lysing of fat cells without damage to surrounding tissues". A development program, explains Dr. Glicksman, has resulted in a completely non-invasive, safe procedure. Moreover, it is claimed that the procedure, termed "body sculpting", is "accurate in that it can focus on a predetermined layer within the body". Volumes of 500 cc are naturally cleared by the human body.. Larger volumes can be treated in multiple sessions at one month intervals or in one session ending with draining of the lysed fat.

It is suitable for removing unwanted fat from the abdomen, inner and outer thighs and flanks. UltraShape is a non-invasive procedure requiring no anaesthetic, needles or down time. The treatment is performed by a Doctor or Nurse, taking as little as one hour.

Also has anyone has mesotherapy or endermologie for cellulite.

Questions about UltraShape, risks and problems

1. What happens to the fat cells?
During the treatment the fat cell membranes are disrupted. It is dispersed into the fluid between the cells and then transported through the vascular and lymphatic systems to the liver.

2. How many Ultrashape treatments will I need?

This will depend on the amount of fat you wish to loose. You can expect to loose up to 2 cm in body circumference per treatment. More guidance will be given at your consultation with the doctor.

3. Who performs the treatment?
You will always see a doctor for your consultation. The preparation and treatment may be performed by either UltraShape doctor or nurse who has been trained in the UltraShape treatment.

4. What does UltraShape feel like?
The majority of patients report no pain or discomfort.


5. Will I experience any problems or risks following treatment?
You may experience some redness and a mild swelling to the treated area(s), but this should subside within a few hours. Patients have stated that there has been no post-treatment pain or discomfort.


UltraShape technology is safe and effective and suitable for both men and women. The ultrasound beam selectively targets fat cells in the chosen body region and disrupts them without harming surrounding nerves, blood vessels or skin. UltraShape can remove excess fat from around the waist, stomach, hips and thighs. One treatment of UltraShape can reduce the waist by a whole dress size. A session of UltraShape only takes between one and two hours and with no side effects, you can have the treatment and continue with the rest of your day.

Ultrashape cost

The contouring costs $1,000 to $1,400 per treatment. With a strong safety record and rare reports of minor blisters, Ultrashape is awaiting FDA approval in the United States but is already available in parts of the United Kingdom. For example Viva clinic in North London.
