Frequently Asked Questions

Q 1: No matter how much i exercise, i still cant lose my belly fat. Why?

Brian D.  Zelickson
M.D.
Edina, MN

Q: No matter how much i exercise, i still cant lose my belly fat. Why?

A: 

Fat is a natural part of our bodies, and sometimes our genetics play a role in where we accumulate fat. For more on this see About Fat.

Q 2: I read about Liposonix. Its a non-invasive tool?

Roy G.  Geronemus
M.D.
New York, NY

Q: I read about Liposonix. Its a non-invasive tool?

A: 

Currently Liposonix is available in Europe, but not in the US as it has not been approved by the FDA. It is currently undergoing clinical trials and it is hoped it will be ready for the US in 2011.

Q 3: I saw an ad for low-cost body contouring? Is it a smart thing?

Eric F.  Bernstein
M.D.
Ardmore, PA

Q: I saw an ad for low-cost body contouring? Is it a smart thing?

A: 

Elsewhere on this site we discuss what to look for in a physician. Low-cost offers are not usually something I look for in my doctors. A good deal is great, but not at the expense of a qualified surgeon. If you can't afford it, don't do it.
