A word from Dr. Stan Gore, founder and medical director

I've always had problem areas of fat. It has required constant effort to keep fat in check. In addition to working out three times a week for years and (usually) not overeating, I've undergone one chin and two abdominal liposuction procedures in my mid-forties. My chin and belly were perpetually unresponsive to any other intervention. I wanted them fixed, once and for all. But nothing is permanent. And what's worse, nothing seems to be easy. To maintain results, I still have to exercise regularly and watch what I eat. Sound familiar?

In the right hands, liposuction is effective surgery. The procedure has validity when major changes in body contour are required. But for smaller problem areas, flabby tummies and cellulite in particular, shouldn't there be a simpler, less invasive, less inconvenient, less transient medical solution?
