Have you been kicking it into high gear at the gym? Been sticking to your diet, yet can’t seem to lose those extra pounds or hit your aesthetic goals? If so, you should know your options. It is always recommended that you seek the opinion of a board-certified plastic surgeon. However, there are questions you can ask yourself to get in line with the procedure, which is the best fit for your personal goals and lifestyle. The majority of patients narrow their fat reduction choices to two choices, CoolSculpting® and Liposuction.
When it comes to dealing with stubborn pockets of fat, both procedures successfully enhance your shape and provide lasting results. CoolScultping® is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to reduce fat in problem areas by utilizing fat-freezing technology specifically. Liposuction, by contrast, is a cosmetic surgical procedure in which a cannula is used to remove fat from various areas of the body. Find out more and discover which system is the best fit for you.
Where Do I Want to Lose Fat?
Liposuction is a versatile procedure making it useful on a wide range of areas of the body. It can be used to remove large pockets of fat from the stomach or explicitly tailored to target fat in smaller, more precise areas such as the neck. Coolscultping®, on the other hand, works most effectively in areas where there is only a moderate amount of fat to be removed such as the armpits, the upper and inner thighs, or fat from the bra-line.
Which Areas are Being Treated?
If you only have one or two areas that have stubborn fat, then CoolScultping® is a fantastic option for you. However, if you want to lose a more significant amount of fat and if there are more than one to two treatment areas, then liposuction may be more effective regarding time and cost.
How Dramatically Do I Want to Change My Shape?
If you are mostly satisfied with your shape but are fighting against troublesome fatty areas, CoolScultping® is a great way to reduce fat and get the results you want effectively, with no downtime. Liposuction allows for greater precision and better contouring, enabling you to achieve the specific shape that you desire. It offers a more dramatic and complete fat reduction with more immediate results.
Am I Willing to Take Time Off from Work and Daily Activities?
Liposuction requires the patient to take several days off from work and most daily activities. However, as soon as your swelling subsides, you will notice dramatic changes in your shape. If downtime is not an option, CoolScultping® offers a quick (generally less than an hour) and painless method to tackle your fatty areas with multiple procedures over time. Although CoolScultping® is very effective, you will not see the immediate results as those achieved through liposuction.
How Much am I Willing to Spend?
Per procedure, CoolScultping® costs less than liposuction. With this considered, CoolScultping® is a wise choice for patients seeking a moderate fat reduction in one to two specific areas.
A single liposuction procedure typically costs less over time than multiple CoolScultping® sessions. It is always important to keep in mind the convenience factor that CoolScultping® offers. Complete treatments on your lunch break and get the results you want with zero downtime.
