Why diet or risk infection from some bypass or liposuction.

The Czech-made Vanquish device uses so called focused-field radio frequency to zap fat without ever touching the patient's body. Only a handful of the devices will initially be available, which means the line for appointments . . .
Although Vanquish heats the skin to 101 degrees, and the underlying fat to 120 degrees, one patient we interviewed says of the treatment that "it just feels warm," like standing in front of a radiator. There can be a few days of mild redness and swelling. Patients are advised to drink plenty of water before and after, which helps the body eliminate the dead fat cells. According to early data from the manufacturer, BTL Aesthetics of Framingham, Mass., there have been no complaints of nerve pain, and no damage to the top and middle layers of skin, hair follicles, muscles or internal organs.
Of 25 patients studied, all had visible results after the first treatment and, after the full course of four sessions, 59 percent of abdominal fat was destroyed, on average, resulting in a two-inch (and in a few cases, a three-inch) reduction in waist size. And because the device kills fat cells, not just the fat within cells, the results should be long lasting. So far, Vanquish is only intended for treatment of the abdomen, love handles, and back fat, at a projected cost of $2000 for four treatments. Two grand for a waist that's two inches smaller? A lot of women will think it's worth it. But some may want to wait for more data, so stay tuned.
My only, only fat pads are around the naval and butt. To obliterate these at the cellular level without surgery sounds enticing. Pass the donuts.
