How much will it cost to get Cool Lipo on the pouch above my private area (no exercise removes it), and for gynecomastia?
Cost will vary depending on many factors.... first of all it differs depending on if a board certified plastic surgeon is performing the surgery or not. Also, if the surgery is performed in a hospital based operating room vs. an office setting, if a board certified anesthesiologist is involved vs. a nurse (or sometimes performing procedures under local anesthesia), etc. Please be careful when doing your research to make sure your surgeon is properly trained and has experience in this procedure.
does the fat get burned away or loosened and flushed? iknow in liposuction is vacuuming fat out
While very little fat is actually melted, any fat affected by the Cool Lipo laser is removed with tumescent liposculpture that is perfomed at the same time.
It sounds like Cool Lipo and Smart Lipo are very similar. uses a different wavelength laser (1064 nm) than (1320 nm). Is one better than the other? On CoolLipo website it says the laser does many things I see on the Smartlipo website like "Gentle fat disruption and removal technique for small areas" and "Treats areas that are difficult for conventional liposuction"
Both Cool Lipo and Smart Lipo are safe and effective in maximizing the results of liposculpture as well as tightening skin. Clinical studies are presently being performed to see if there is a unique advantage of one system over the other. At this time (11/20/07) there is no proof that one system is better than the other.
