Non-invasive subcutaneous fat reduction: Cavitation

Compatible

Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Cosmetic and nonsurgical procedure for local or areal reduction of the subcutaneous adipose tissue by means of ultrasonic waves that destroy or alter adipocytes causing a cavitation of them.

Along with the cryolipolysis (see specific info), low-intensity laser and radiofrequency, it is one of the procedures that are know as "Non-surgical body modeling" or "Liposuction without surgery."

It does not cause harmful side effects, does not alter the surrounding tissues and does not induce changes on the lipid composition or results of other blood plasma tests (Gadsden 2011, Jewell 2011, Shalom 2013, Tonucci 2014), in such a way it is not presumable that it would affect the composition of milk.

Logically, it should not be applied to the chest while breastfeeding.

High quality evidence on their effectiveness is not available.

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for Non-invasive subcutaneous fat reduction: Cavitation since it is relatively safe.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.

Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.
