3 Surprising Ways to Get Rid of Back Fat

3 Ways to Get Rid of Back Fat (#3 Will Surprise You!)

If you have unwanted back fat – sometimes called “bra rolls” or “back bulges” – you know that it simply does not respond to diet or exercise. Even women at or near their ideal weight can suffer from dreaded, unsightly back fat – especially as they get older.

Back fat can squeeze out from beneath bra bands and straps, ruining the appearance of t-shirts and other fitted clothing, or apparel made from thin material. And, sadly, back fat can make a woman think twice about even considering a sleeveless wedding dress or evening gown.

The good news is that AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in the greater Troy, MI area offers three fast, affordable and permanent solutions to back fat. And the third back fat treatment option we offer is sure to surprise most people! Bra roll reduction can be done via liposuction, CoolSculpting, and now by Kybella injection!

What Causes Back Fat

There are two primary causes of back fat. And the first simply can’t be helped: heredity. The placement of fat on our bodies is primarily determined by our genes. That’s why even “thin” people can have stubborn fat deposits on their thighs or their back – no matter how much they work out or how little they eat.

Additionally, as women age, the spine compresses causing a loss of height. According to a report by the AARP, women lose an average two inches in height between the ages of 30 and 70, and by age 80, most women have shrunk a total of three inches.

So, if you put the same amount of hereditary back skin and fat on a smaller frame, it is simply going to “bulge” more as the woman loses inches. Fortunately, all three treatments available at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in the Troy, Mi area can get rid of back fat – so you feel confident and sexy in whatever you wear!

#1. Liposuction to Get Rid of Back Fat

The fastest way to remove the largest amount of fat that has accumulated in their upper or lower back is liposuction. Some of the most dramatic results from liposuction can be seen when it is applied to the back.  Patients can lose several ounces or even pounds of fat with lipo. A tube-like device called a cannula is gently inserted into the fat layer of the back and the fat cells are suctioned out. Once the back fat cells are removed, they are gone for good and fat cells can never return in that area!

CoolSculpting is a less invasive method for getting rid of back fat – killing fat cells by freezing them, after which they are eliminated by the body. CoolSculpting can reduces approximately 20 to 25% percent of the fullness of the “back bulge” during a single 35-minute session – without incisions or surgery. And multiple treatments can remove even more.

A specially designed CoolSculpting applicator called the CoolCurve is specially shaped to target and eliminate unwanted back fat. Results begin to show after a few weeks but will become dramatically visible after several months, as the body continues to flush the frozen and destroyed fat cells. And there is no downtime with CoolSculpting back fat removal.

#3. Kybella to Get Rid of Back Fat

The newest and most surprising way to get rid of back fat is with Kybella injections! Originally approved to destroy and eliminate unwanted submental fat in the “double chin” area, Kybella has more recently proven effective at reducing bra fat rolls. The FDA approved Kybella to get rid of back fat in 2018.

Kybella is an injectable medicine that literally dissolves fat, much in the same way that a detergent can break down grease. A series of “shots” targets and dissolves the fat in the bra roll, and then the body removes the liquified fat through its natural elimination processes.

Kybella typically requires multiple treatments, depending on the amount of back fat being targeted. But on average, 2 or 3 Kybella sessions are all that is needed to get rid of small to moderate-sized “bra bulges”.

Once back liposuction, CoolSculpting or Kybella remove back rolls and bulges they will never come back. As a result, patients permanently experience a more slender and contoured physique. Your clothes, sleeveless dresses, bathing suits (and lingerie!) will look better. And you will have a new sense of self-esteem and confidence, on the beach, at the banquet, or in the boardroom or the bedroom!

Lose the “Quarantine 15” with CoolSculpting

Lose the “Quarantine 15” with CoolSculpting: No Dieting or Exercise!

After months of social distancing and working-from-home, many of us are looking in the mirror and seeing some extra fat from the extra hours spent in front of the TV or computer snacking. Dubbed the “Quarantine 15” by the media, most experts seem to think that the average person’s pandemic weight gain is about 3 to 5 pounds.

But whether you have gained an extra 5 pounds or an extra 15 pounds, fat loss is probably high on your list of priorities. And with summer almost over – an outdoor exercise coming to an end – it’s easy to get frustrated by unsightly jiggle on the belly, thighs, love handles, hips and arms.

Thankfully, the Detroit area fat loss experts at AMAE Plastic Surgery offer two state-of-the-art, rapid and effective fat loss treatments to permanently get rid of the Quarantine 15: CoolSculpting and Liposuction. In this article Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. M. Azhar Ali discusses the benefits of non-invasive CoolSculpting for fat loss… without dieting or exercise.

The Cost of CoolSculpting vs. Diet & Exercise

According to market research firms, Americans spend more than $60 billion every year to try to lose fat and unwanted pounds – and yet few are successful. And those who do lose the weight, typically “yo-yo” and put the weight back on within a year… starting the cycle of diet spending all over again.

For many American’s the pursuit of a more beautiful body is a lifelong challenge that is never accomplished. Dieting, depriving themselves, exhausting themselves at the gym, only to get frustrated with slow or no progress. They end up spending thousands of dollars with no results to show.

However, our CoolSculpting treatments begin at only $700. And the results are permanent. So you only spend once, get the results you want, and never again waste money on fad diets, dangerous diet pills, or expensive gym memberships!

Most American families spend approximately $1000 every year on Christmas gifts for everyone else! Isn’t it time to give yourself the gift of the body you’ve always wanted? And with our financing options, you can get started today.

How CoolSculpting Works without Diet or Exercise

It really is NOT your fault if you accumulate stubborn fat in unwanted areas! You see, your DNA determines where your body will deposit fat. The number of fat cells in our bodies becomes fixed in our teenage years and losing weight simply does not decrease this number of fat cells.

As you gain weight, the fat cells on your body may get bigger, however the number of fat cells does not increase. And in the same way, when you diet and exercise, the cells may get smaller but the number of fat cells stays the same.

So even with diet and exercise, you can still have a jiggly middle, or stubborn muffin top, or other stubborn fat pocket that just won’t go away. It’s not your fault, it’s your DNA!

CoolSculpting uses a handheld applicator to apply cold temperatures to the unwanted fat. Mild suction pulls the fat bulges into the applicator. The applicator “freezes” or “crystalizes” the fat cells. This literally “kills” the fat cells. Your body then eliminates the fat cells over time.

Once the fat cells are gone, they are gone for good! They never come back. And this is something that all of the diet and exercise in the world cannot accomplish.

Get CoolSculpting in September – Be Thin by Thanksgiving

September is the perfect time to consider CoolSculpting – because your results will be dramatically visible by the time the holidays roll around.

Once the fat is frozen, your body’s lymphatic system will gradually remove the dead fat cells over time. Because it takes time for the body to eliminate the dead fat cells, CoolSculpting results start to be visible after 2 to 4 weeks. But the most dramatic results typically become visible in around 2 months.  Complete and final results will appear in 3 to five months.

So September is the perfect time to get started on your fat loss plan! Whether you see your friends and family in person or virtually this Thanksgiving and Christmas, they will be amazed at the new slender you that has emerged from Quarantine!

Detroit Area’s Best CoolSculpting

There are enough things to stress about during the pandemic – but weight gain does not have to be one of them.  Now is the perfect time to get the the slimmer, trimmer, more beautiful body you’ve always wanted!

Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women and men across the Detroit area lose fat, and get the body they want with CoolSculpting. He will be happy to offer you a consultation to help you understand how CoolSculpting can help you get the body you’ll love.

How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost?

How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost in the Troy, MI Area?

As the Troy, MI area’s top provider of state-of-the-art CoolSculpting fat freezing treatments, many of our patient’s first questions is “How much does CoolSculpting cost?”

In this article our fat loss experts provide you with the facts and figures you need to understand how CoolSculpting pricing and discounts work, to give you the fat loss results you want almost anywhere on your body.

Best Troy, MI Area, CoolSculpting Prices

We completely understand that during these financially uncertain times, every penny counts. That is why we offer the best CoolSculpting prices in the Troy, MI area – along with special CoolSculpting discounts during the month of May, 2020.

Everybody’s fat loss needs are different – so each person will have a customized CoolSculpting treatment plan, which means the cost will vary from person to person.

Calculating CoolSculpting Prices

Your CoolSculpting cost will depend on two factors: the number of areas to be treated, and the amount of fat to be removed.

CoolSculpting can remove from 20-25% of the fat in a treated area in one procedure. So a person with less fat to lose may only need one treatment – while a person with a larger amount of fat to lose may require multiple treatments. Obviously, as with any service, multiple CoolSculpting treatments will cost more than a single treatment.

Additionally, some individuals may only need to lose fat from their belly or their love handles, while others may want to have fat removed from their belly, back, thighs and arms. There is a cost for each area treated – so the price for individuals treating more areas is higher than it is for patients treating one area.

That’s why we offer a consultation to put together a personalized treatment plan and determine an exact price.  You will meet with one of our experienced and certified CoolSculpting technicians who will discuss the areas you want treated, take measurements, and put together a plan and a CoolSculpting price for you.

To help you invest in the body you’ll love, we offer package discounts – as well as monthly specials – including this month’s May 2020 special of $500 OFF CoolSculpting!

4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs

4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs – 

Of all areas of the body, the thighs are among the most difficult from which to lose fat. And while lifestyle adjustments like dieting and exercising are important to losing weight, they can only do so much to thin thighs. While we can control (to some extent) how much weight we lose, we have absolutely no control over where weight loss occurs on our body. And, arguably, no area is more diet-and-exercise-resistant than the thighs – something that leads many on the search for some kind of medical thigh reduction solution.

For such individuals, at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Troy, MI area, we offer four cutting-edge non-surgical and surgical thigh reduction and toning procedures. In this article, we’ll discuss how despite being such an infamous “problem area,” thinner thighs can now be a reality for anyone.

Liposuction for Thinner Thighs

Out of every thigh reduction option available to our patients, liposuction is perhaps the most popular. By gently removing excess fat from the thigh area, liposuction is a safe and effective means of attaining thinner thighs. Less invasive than thigh lift surgery, thigh reduction liposuction also has a shorter recovery time.

Through the use of tiny tubes called micro-cannulas, board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon gently dislodges fat from the treatment area. The micro-cannulas then suck the fat from the thigh, resulting in thinner thighs than ever before.

Usually, this particular thigh reduction procedure requires only light anesthesia. Liposuction patients are afforded thinner thighs with only a few days of downtime – far less than with thigh lift surgery.

CoolSculpting for Thinner Thighs

CoolSculpting for thigh reduction is a completely non-invasive, non-surgical method of obtaining thinner thighs. Unlike liposuction, which simply removes unwanted fat via suction, CoolSculpting instead physically freezes the fat cells of the treatment area. In the weeks that follow, these unwanted fat cells will die, collapse, and be naturally eliminated from the body. While highly effective at getting rid of fat, CoolSculpting does not result in the body contouring produced by liposuction.

And, while CoolSculpting is a safe and effective way to get thinner thighs, patients should not expect immediate results. In most cases, it takes a few weeks for full thigh reduction results to become visible. Furthermore, while liposuction can provide thigh reduction with just one trip to our Troy, MI area practice, CoolSculpting delivers peak results only through a series of treatments.

Profound for Tighter, Toned Thighs

When performed on its own – or in combination with fat loss from liposuction or CoolSculpting –amazing new Profound radiofrequency skin tightening can help patients achieve firm toned thighs!

This revolutionary thigh reduction procedure is as effective as it is groundbreaking. Using radiofrequency energy, Profound RF skin tightening is able to deliver incredible, toned results completely non-surgically. With results that last, patients can say goodbye to sagging, lax, or loose thigh skin.

Thigh Lift Surgery for Thinner Thighs

Unlike the other less invasive thigh reduction procedures, thigh lift surgery is a more invasive, but extremely effective, way to get thinner thighs. Many of our Troy, MI area patients visit us for thigh lift surgery as a way to get rid of stubborn fat, but the procedure is equally effective at removing and tightening significantly loose or excess skin.

During thigh lift surgery an incision is made under anesthetic, and Dr. Ali removes fat and surgically reshapes and tightens the tissue.  He will also remove excess outer skin and redrape it to offer a smooth, proportionate looking contour.

Deep support sutures will be placed in the underlying tissues to ensure that the new shape of the thinner thigh area remains in place. Then, Dr. Ali will close the skin incisions with sutures. Dr. Ali will take great care to make incisions in areas that will be masked by most clothing and bathing suits.

Thinner Thigh Procedures – Troy, MI area

Whether you’re looking to get rid of stubborn fat or to simply tighten the skin of your thighs, we have the solution you need. The thigh reduction experts at our Troy, MI area practice are just a call away, waiting to help you get the thinner thighs you’ve been dreaming of.

4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs: Fat Loss Without Diet or Exercise (Part 1)

/in , /by

4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs: Fat Loss Without Diet or Exercise (Part 1)–

Frustratingly, the number of fat cells in our bodies becomes fixed in our teenage years and losing or gaining weight does not increase or decrease this number of fat cells. As you gain weight, the fat cells on your body will get bigger – and with dieting and weight loss, the cells may get smaller but the number of fat cells stays the same.

This is why diet and exercise are often powerless to cause fat loss in a woman’s thighs. And, to make matters worse, gravity, fluctuations in weight, and age-related loss of muscle mass and skin elasticity can combine to result in loose saggy skin, or a loss of tone in the thigh area.

Fortunately, Dr. Ali offers the newest, most advanced non-invasive, minimally-invasive and surgical fat loss treatments for getting thinner, tighter, more toned thighs! In this 2 part article we discuss the top 4 fat loss treatments for improving the look and feel of your thighs.

  1. Non-Invasive CoolSculpting Fat Loss for Thinner Thighs

Through CoolSculpting, Detroit-area patients are able to get thinner thighs by physically removing fat from the treatment area itself. A single CoolSculpting fat loss treatment is enough to yield results of up to 25% thinner thighs.

The first step towards thinner thighs with CoolSculpting involves applying a handheld applicator to the treatment area, which uses mild suction to pull bulges of fat into itself. The applicator then lowers the temperature of the treatment area to freezing, causing the fat cells to be permanently destroyed.

Then, through the body’s natural elimination process, the dead fat cells are removed from the body. Since this is a gradual process, it typically takes patients several weeks to notice having significantly thinner thighs. But since the body cannot produce new fat cells, once they’re destroyed, they are gone for good.

For about 5 to 6 months after CoolSculpting fat loss treatment, the body will continue to eliminate dead fat cells, continuously providing Detroit area patients with thinner and thinner thighs.

The best way to maintain results from CoolSculpting is to live a healthy lifestyle and to avoid substantial weight gain. But since CoolSculpting is a permanent procedure, even if additional weight gain does occur, it will not be gained in the treatment area. This means that patients who visit AMAE Med Spa for CoolSculpting can walk away from their procedure with permanently thinner thighs.

2. Minimally-Invasive Liposuction Fat Loss for Thinner Thighs

An alternative means of attaining thinner thighs is through liposuction. Unlike CoolSculpting, which is non-invasive, liposuction is a surgical fat loss procedure.

Most instances of liposuction surgery are performed under local anesthesia. The procedure requires our Detroit area patients to receive a small incision (no larger than 3mm), but patients nonetheless do not require stitches, and are able to attain noticeably thinner thighs without practically any scarring.

While CoolSculpting patients get thinner thighs through the body’s natural elimination process, during liposuction, fat cells are physically sucked out of the body. As a result, liposuction patients typically only require one single procedure to get noticeably thinner thighs.

While there is some downtime that comes along with getting thinner thighs through liposuction, patients are able to return home as early as a half hour after treatment. Additionally, patients usually only have to wait 2 to 7 days before resuming their normal daily routine. And while liposuction patients may experience some mild pain while recovering, any such discomfort is easily treatable with medication, and will gradually begin to dissipate over a 2 to 8 week period.

And while patients may experience some swelling after getting liposuction for thinner thighs, it should go down after 4 – 6 weeks. Once this occurs, results will immediately become visible, with patients able to notice having significantly thinner thighs without having to wait for the body to eliminate destroyed fat cells.

CoolSculpting and liposuction are both effective fat loss treatments to get thinner thighs, each with their own unique benefits. CoolSculpting is non-invasive and requires less downtime than liposuction, while liposuction requires fewer treatments and produces more immediately visible fat loss results. At AMAE Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in the Detroit area, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali helps all of his patients select a fat loss treatment plan that best suits their needs.

How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost?

How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost in the Detroit area?

While results continue to prove time and again that CoolSculpting is one of the most effective medical fat loss treatments on the market, the first question on the lips of almost all prospective CoolSculpting patients is “how much does CoolSculpting cost?” Dr. Ali is the Detroit area’s premier practitioner of the incredible CoolSculpting fat freezing treatments. In this article, he will break down everything needed to know about the cost of CoolSculpting.

Best Detroit, MI CoolSculpting Prices

At AMAE Med Spa, we are aware that undergoing a cosmetic procedure such as CoolSculpting is a major financial consideration the part of the patient. As such, we are committed to remaining completely transparent about our CoolSculpting prices. Other, lesser CoolSculpting practices frequently attempt to seduce prospective patients that seem too good to be true – only to reveal that the advertised price only covered a fraction of the procedure once the patient is in the door.

CoolSculpting Costs Fluctuates From Patient To Patient

Asking how much CoolSculpting will cost is comparable to asking a mechanic how much it will cost to fix a car. Much as the mechanic’s quote will depend on what is wrong with the car and the cost of parts, a patient’s final CoolSculpting cost will depend on how many areas will be treated, as well as the amount of fat that must be removed.

As such, we subject every CoolSculpting patient to a personalized assessment in order to determine a treatment plan and an exact cost. During the initial consultation, an in-depth discussion will take place to determine the patient’s desired outcomes. Once it is determined that the patient is an ideal CoolSculpting candidate, a customized treatment plan will be developed specifically to meet their fat loss desires.

Lowest CoolSculpting Prices in the Detroit, MI Area

Just as no two people’s bodies are exactly the same, no two CoolSculpting treatment plans are exactly the same. One such factor is that different areas of the body must be treated with different applicators, and different applicators have different costs. For example, the CoolAdvantage Plus applicator (designed to treat large areas, such as the abdomen) will have a different price than the CoolMini (a small applicator designed to treat double chins).”

Another factor in the price of a CoolSculpting Treatment Plan is how many treatments the patient requires to meet their desired fat loss goals. Patients looking to remove smaller amounts of fat, for example, will require fewer treatments than a person who wishes to remove larger deposits of fat.

Fortunately, at Detroit’s AMAE Med Spa, we offer CoolSculpting treatment plans for every budget, with each individual option discussed during the patient’s consultation.

Detroit, MI’s Best CoolSculpting Prices

While the final cost of every CoolSculpting treatment plan will vary from case to case, at AMAE Med Spa, we offer not only the best CoolSculpting prices of the Detroit, MI-area, but also the most satisfying, long-lasting results.

The high volume of CoolSculpting procedures we have performed not only speaks to our place as Detroit’s top CoolSculpting provider, it also allows for us to offer competitive pricing. Contact AMAE today for a consultation, and to see how you can meet you can get rid of fat without getting rid of too much money in the process!

What’s Better, CoolSculpting or Liposuction?

/in , /by

CoolSculpting vs. Liposuction –

CoolSculpting and Liposuction are two of Dr. Ali’s most popular – yet very different – fat loss treatments. Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women and men in Birmingham, West Bloomfield & Oakland County get the body they want using these procedures.

In this article we discuss differences between Liposuction & CoolSculpting – to help you begin deciding which procedure is right for you.

Remember you are unique! What is the best fat loss procedure for one person may not be right for someone else. The best way to decide on your ideal fat loss treatment is a consultation with Dr. Ali. He will evaluate your situation and provide detailed answers to your questions, so that you can chose the best fat loss treatment plan for your goals.

CoolSculpting Procedure

CoolSculpting and Liposuction both remove stubborn areas of fat that resist diet and exercise.  However, neither Liposuction nor CoolSculpting are weight loss tools for obesity and they do not remedy flabby or loose abdominal skin or muscles.

However, CoolSculpting is non-surgical and non-invasive. This means that there is no incision and no need for anesthetic. This also means that there no “downtime” and you can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment. In fact many people go back to work the same day!

CoolSculpting typically involves more than one treatment – while Liposuction is generally done in a single treatment.

The CoolSculpting process “freezes” the fat to kill the fat cells. The body then gradually and naturally eliminates the dead fat cells.

Because it takes time for the body to eliminate the dead fat cells, with CoolSculpting you will begin to see results after 2 to 4 weeks. And it may take 2 months for more dramatic results, and up to 3 to 5 months to deliver complete and final results. Full results will eventually reduce the area treated by 20 to 25%.

Liposuction Procedure

Unlike non-invasive CoolSculpting, Liposuction is a surgical technique that removes the excess fat deposits located between the skin and muscle.

In most cases Liposuction is performed under local anesthesia.  A very small (less than 3mm) incision is made inLiposuction – but typically there are no stitches and no (or unnoticeable) scars.

While CoolSculpting waits for the body to eliminate the fat cells, Liposuction actually suctions the fat cells out at the time of the procedure. This means only one treatment is typically needed.

The patient can go home within a half hour after the procedure, however there is some downtime with Liposuction. The recovery time for Liposuction is from 2 to 7 days before normal activity can be resumed. And mild pain (treatable with medication) or discomfort gradually subsides over a period of 2 weeks up to 8 weeks.

Once the swelling goes down in 4 to 6 weeks, the Liposuction results are visible “immediately”. This is because the fat has been surgically “sucked out” and there is no need to wait for the body to eliminate it.

In summary, CoolSculpting is less invasive, less uncomfortable, and has less downtime than Liposuction. But CoolSculpting usually requires more treatments than Lipo, and CoolSculpting results take more treatments and the results take longer to be visible.

Best CoolSculpting in Birmingham, West Bloomfield & Oakland County

The best way to determine which fat loss treatment is best for you is to discuss your goals with a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali who offers both procedures. Dr. Ali will assess your skin, muscles, body, lifestyle and goals to help you chose the best treatment for your individual needs.

As an aside, it is wise to be very wary of doctors or clinic that only offer one type of fat loss procedure. They may try to steer or pressure you into the procedure they offer – even if another procedure would be better for you. Only a surgeon like Dr. Ali who offers multiple treatment options can give you the array of choices you need to find what’s best for your fat loss goals.

Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women and men across Birmingham, West Bloomfield, Bloomfield Hills & Oakland County get the body they want with CoolSculpting and Liposuction. He will be happy to offer you a consultation to help you understand your options and decide if CoolSculpting or Lipo is right for you.

And remember, financing options are also available!
