Liposuction vs. CoolSculpting®

Posted: May 25, 2015

Certain bulges of fat on your physique just don't go away despite your efforts to shrink them with diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. These persistent pockets of fat can be really frustrating. At this point, some people turn to liposuction surgery; however, with modern technological advances, you can receive body slimming treatment without surgery: no incisions, no sutures. The advantages of CoolSculpting include:

• Non-invasive
• Minimal downtime afterward
• Low-risk, especially compared to liposuction surgery

The CoolSculpting device uses cool temperature application to freeze fat cells, which are then broken up, and finally eliminated by your body. The device is passed over the treatment area, gently suctioning the bulge of fat into a cup-like part of the device, where it is exposed to the cooling panels. This is all performed on the surface of the skin. There aren't any incisions involved.

There are pros and cons to any choice, and Dr. Bonakdar will help you weigh innovative CoolSculpting treatment against liposuction. We are committed to providing the information you need to feel confident about the decisions you make.
