Choosing the remedy that is right for you should be based upon multiple factors such as the amount of fat in the area, the degree of flaccidity of your skin, your budget, your willingness or unwillingness to undergo a significant recovery period, your time availability, your goals and your medical history & current medical condition. Thanks to advances in medical technology and medical products, you can choose from a variety of effective medical treatments and therapies.
