Body-lifts are generally performed on women who have lost a significant amount of weight and have been left with loose pouches of excess skin. It is the most invasive technique to restore firm, youthful contours to the body. If you look at yourself naked in the mirror and pull up the saggy skin of your hips to stretch out your upper thighs and abdominal area, you can reshape the way your body looks. Body-lifts essentially do the same thing. Lower body-lifts target the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, waist, and hips. However, body-lifts do nothing to improve the texture and quality of the skin. And while they do tighten the skin, they do not remove cellulite. The most significant drawback to this type of invasive surgery is that the scars can be extensive and the recovery is longer than most other cosmetic surgical procedures.

Cellulite Surgery
One of the problems with many of the more invasive treatments for cellulite reduction is that they tend to damage something else, especially the dermis. The only effective approach is in effect the reverse-making the dermis and vessels stronger and healthier.

Detox Diet
You often hear the claim that in order to get rid of cellulite, you have to go on a special diet to clear your body of cellulite-causing toxins. A toxin could be classified as any substance that creates irritating and/or harmful effects in the body, undermining health or stressing organ functions. Homeostasis occurs when body functions are in balance. This balance is disturbed when we take in more than we can utilize and eliminate. If our body is working well, it can handle our basic everyday exposure to toxins by neutralizing, transforming, or eliminating them. For example, many antioxidant nutrients may neutralize free-radical molecules. The liver helps transform many toxic substances into harmless agents, while the blood carries wastes to the kidneys; the liver also dumps wastes through the bile into the intestines to be eliminated. The best approach is to avoid putting toxins in your body in the first place by eating a healthy, clean, and pure diet along with appropriate supplements and lifestyle choices.

Laser Lipolisis
Laser lipolisis is a relatively new technique developed in Italy. It is performed with injections and involves the insertion of a fiber-optic laser through very small incisions that targets only the fat in the body. Amounts of 500 grams of fat can usually be absorbed and naturally excreted as waste by the body. Although laser lipolisis was not designed for high-volume applications, larger volumes of fat can be liquefied and suction-aspirated. As with liposuction, this procedure targets fat cells that are not the cause of cellulite.
