Why do we all believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus when we are young? Because someone we trust told us they were real. I see that same sort of belief with adults when it comes to the cosmetic industry. Pills that target belly fat as seen in Vogue! How does the pill know the difference between fat in our belly area and fat on our legs or arms? Lasers and Devices that melt fat from the outside as seen on Rachael Ray! Why doesn’t it melt our skin on the way to the fat? If we use logic or look for medical studies with proof VS what Dr. Oz says on Oprah, we would save ourselves a lot of money and disappointment.
Each liposuction surgeon will give you their opinion. Some have biases because they own the Smart Lipo, Vaser, Aqua Lipo, Smooth Lipo or Cool Lipo devise. We bought over $500,000 in lasers that we were told tightened skin, melted fat more smoothly, smoothed out cellulite etc. The truth is there is no Santa Claus. Dr. Su attends peer review conferences all over the United States. One fact is proven over and over: The most consistent results are from the tumescent technique liposculpting with micro cannulas, the doctors esthetic eye and most important the skill of the surgeon.
Sorry Santa Claus!
