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.

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.

You should consult with an experienced physician on what is ideal in your case. There are so many different methods now available, there is a good possibility you are a candidate for one of them. See our Find a Doctor search.

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.
