The Patient's Guide
to Fat Reduction

Fat Reduction: More Beautiful Curves with Less Invasive Treatments

Whether it's the belly fat around our waist, the ever-increasing thighs we squeeze into our jeans, or our over-sized hips, reducing the fat on our bodies is a desirable thing for most of us. The problem is it can be very difficult. The demands of life and family can often make losing weight difficult. While nothing can replace a healthy, active lifestyle, science is now developing exciting techniques to reduce the amount of fat on our bodies. We will cover them on this website.

The Science of Reducing Fat

Fat reduction is a term applied to treatments which remove unwanted fat from our bodies. The most common form of fat reduction until now has been liposuction. Liposuction is a treatment which involves the removal of fat with a suction tube, or cannula, which is inserted into the body. Liposuction is generally effective but also comes with significant potential risks, as does any invasive procedure. Scientists and researchers have been making new breakthroughs in the science of non-invasive fat reduction. These techniques are able to remove fat from the body without surgery.

The Patient's Guide®

The purpose of this website is to provide medically-accurate information from some of the world's foremost dermatologists and researchers. New developments are taking place daily in the science of fat reduction and this site will help keep you up to date. Cosmetic procedures, both invasive and non-invasive, are serious and should be weighed carefully. As a Patient's Guide® website, we are committed to the highest standards of medical accuracy and review. We hope this information is helpful and we look forward to your feedback. Note that no website can replace consultation with your physician and discuss treatment in detail with your doctor before choosing any option.
