Three Ways to Scare Away Fat

October 15, 2022

Unwanted fat deposits detract from ideal definition. They create bulk where there shouldn’t be any bulk, obscuring natural curves and producing a heavier, toneless frame.

Wouldn’t it be convenient if Halloween decorations and stories about ghosts and ghouls could frighten those stubborn deposits of lumpy fat right out of your body? Then everyone with a few extra pounds would eagerly await October.

But, while a well-timed fright might make you “jump out of your skin,” it can’t make fat do the same, magically disappearing before your very eyes. Thankfully, at Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, wecanmake fat disappear – without magicorterror – and are pleased to offer several safe and effective options to help sculpt and tone nearly every area of your body.

VASER® High-Definition Liposuction

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ravi Somayazula utilizes VASER High-Definition Liposuction to remove diet and exercise-resistant fat from the body. An advanced liposuction technique, VASER uses ultrasound energy to emulsify fat deposits, making it possible to remove unwanted fat entirely.

Not only does VASER allow for the removal of more significant amounts of fat, but it does so without harming surrounding tissue, muscles, and nerves, helping to reduce recovery time, protect your comfort, and improve final results.

Evolve Body Contouring

Surgical options are perfect for some, but not the best choice for every need. Knowing this, we are pleased to offer the Evolve system for hands-free, non-invasive body contouring. The Evolve system utilizes radiofrequency energy (RF) and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to melt fat, reduce cellulite, tighten the skin, and improve muscle definition.

Completely customizable, the Evolve system can be used to address a single issue, such as unwanted fat deposits, or a range of problems throughout the body. And, because it’s non-surgical, it does not come with incisions, surgical risks, or a lengthy recovery period.

Kybella®

If a double chin is your primary concern, Kybella may offer the best solution. The first and only injectable treatment for submental fat, Kybella uses an enzyme naturally produced by the body to destroy fat cells underneath the chin permanently.

Kybella requires no downtime, comes with minimal bruising, and offers reliable and predictable results. It can safely be used alone or with other non-surgical options to restore facial definition and create a significantly more youthful appearance.

Which Option is Right for You?

If you are unhappy with how excess fat has impacted your body, you can’t rely on specters or goblins to scare it away. Youcanrely on us.

Dr. Ravi Somayazula and Dr. Swapna Gopathi welcome the opportunity to meet with you, listen to your concerns, and help you choose the least frightening ways to achieve your goals.
