Taut, shapely, voluptuous – are some words to describe a youthful feminine body. Unfortunately, with the laws of gravity working closely with the inescapable grasp of aging, the female body takes a drastic shift for the worse as we pass the big 30.

Facial liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat from problematic areas like the chin and, when combined with a skin tightening treatment, can take years off an appearance.

Over a million cosmetic and aesthetic procedures were conducted in 2015. This is according to a recent study published by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, a premier global organization for board-certified plastic surgeons.

Many of us deal with problem areas of stubborn fat. Even if we exercise regularly and watch our diet, pesky deposits can still find their way to our arms, thighs, tummy or hips (think love handles, stomach bulge and flabby arms). And often they just won’t budge! Thankfully, there’s a solution.

Self-love is being the best version of yourself – And it’s the most worthwhile investment you can make.

An increasing number of men over 35 are moving from basic grooming such as eyebrow shaping and skincare, to aesthetic treatments like wrinkle-smoothing, commonly known as ‘Brotox’. They also seek cosmetic surgeries such as facial liposuction and gynecomastia surgery.

So you’ve been hitting the gym. Yet, no matter how much you’ve been pushing, pressing, lifting and curling at the gym (on top of watching what you eat), there are still unwanted bulges, and pockets of fat in hard-to-reach places just don’t seem to shift.

In short, yes! The preference is for a physically strong body – so, defined abs (or, even better, a six-pack), bulging biceps and a muscular chest. This has been proven true, and we’re not surprised!

Liposuction is more than just what meets the eye. It is a procedure that combines science and art.

Did you look at yourself in the mirror lately and think, "I wish the volume I have on my thighs could be transferred to my breasts"? That question might have led you straight here to discover all about fat grafting.

While breast implants continue to be popular, autologous fat grafting to breasts has been gaining ground in recent years. Fat grafting to breasts, or fat transfer could help you achieve natural-looking and natural-feeling breasts with an hourglass figure simultaneously.
