Facts about your fat cells
Have you ever asked what your fat cells do?
Lipocytes or fat cells are the building units of your adipose tissue.
Their function is to store energy, release heat, and play a role in hormone secretion.
Fat cells are formed during the third trimester of pregnancy and continue to increase till puberty.
The distribution of fat cells differs in males compared to females.
It is likely affected by sex hormones giving an apple shape for a male and a pear shape for a female.
The good thing is that your fat cells stop growing after puberty but unfortunately, they can store more lipids.
Is liposuction a way to lose weight?
If you think that liposuction is an alternative to diet or exercise to lose weight, you are wrong.
Liposuction, lipoplasty, or fat modeling is a plastic surgery that aims at contouring the body.
Liposuction removes excess fats in particular parts like the buttocks, hips, tummy, and thighs for cosmetic purposes.
What about laser liposuction in Turkey? Is it painful?
Unlike traditional liposuction which was an invasive surgery, laser liposuction or laser lipo is a gentle non invasive operation.
It depends on using laser energy to melt and destroy fats permanently.
Many people have been suffering from skin sagging after traditional liposuction.
Laser lipo solved this problem by inducing collagen formation resulting in more skin firmness.
Laser lipo is a simple and non-painful procedure in which the doctor makes a small incision to insert the laser to destroy fats that are finally cleaved by the lymphatic system.
Laser lipo decreases the risk of bleeding as it enhances the coagulation of blood vessels.
Due to all these benefits, laser lipo is widely used in Turkey recently.
