Can I Get Liposuction After Coolsculpting?

love handles and fat on top of coccyx
A: CoolSculpting does not prevent having liposuction

You may choose to have liposuction after CoolSculpting but if you are inclined to doing the surgery soon, then you might wish only to have the liposuction and save the money from CoolSculpting as liposuction is more efficient at fat removal than Zeltiq's CoolSculpting. Possibly you can't afford the down time right now from liposuction but realize you don't get a quick fix from Zeltiq.

Best Non Invasive Liposuction for a Morbidly Obese Male?

Hi, I am 285lbs, 5' 10", male, 25 years old. I've exercised and tried diets, nothing seems to work. I was looking at various non invasive liposuction options, as I have to work round the clock on weekdays, and resting at home is not an option, and prefer non surgical or non invasive methods. What is the best and proven non invasive liposuction option available for me ? I have fat male breasts and 52" waistline, pot belly. Losing even 5" would be great. Advance thanks and regards,
A: Liposuction in a morbidly obese person

If you are morbidly obese, liposuction is not the procedure for you.  Liposuction is a contouring procedure and not a weight loss procedure.  If you have tried dieting and exercise and still have not seen results, then I would recommend having a consultation with a weight loss (gastric bypass) surgeon.

 

Good Luck.

Is Needing Touch-up of Liposuction a Likely Thing?

I am scheduled for flank & thigh lipo in a few weeks. I was reading another Q&A on here and an answer from a doctor read, "it's not very often a patient needs a touch-up surgery for lipo unless under gen. anesthesia, then they usually need at least 1 or more touch-ups". I was never informed of this. I know there is always a chance for problems etc, but the use of the word "usually" sounds like I should fully expect another surgery and will spend more money... thoughts??
A: Liposuction

I beleive that comment is erroneous. Why would general anesthesia lead to more revisions?  In general, there is a small revision rate for dissatisfaction., but that is with any operation. I prefer general or deep sedation, because if the patient is comfortable, I can focus exclusively ont he surgery and not worry about trying under local to keep my patient from not having any discomfort.
