How many people choose the cool sculpting option compared to lipo? (Is this still considered "plastic surgery, if no incisions are made?) What are the main advantages of cool sculpting?

Coolsculpting vs. Lipo for Cellulite

Greetings~ Neither Coolsculpting nor Liposuction are really the best solutions for cellulite....for localized areas of fat, both treatments are very gratifying to patients. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure, so though considered body contouring it is difficult to label it as 'plastic surgery'. Advantages of Coolsculpting include (but nt limited to): no anesthesia, no downtime, effective, great at targetting stubborn, localized areas of fat,... more

CoolSculpting is very effective for fat removal

I have found CoolSculpting to be a very effective non-invasive procedure for removal of fat that can be performed with no downtime for the patient. But as with every procedure the key is in choosing the right patient.. The ideal patient is within 10-15 pounds of their ideal body weight with a localized moderate bulge. The areas most amenable to treatment are the muffin top, love handles or back fat. Regarding cellulite CoolSculpting is not a treatment for cellulite. more

Cool Sculpting and Cellulite?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, neither cool sculpting or liposuction surgery are effective in the treatment of cellulite. Both procedures however are very effective in the treatment of diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue. Best wishes. see video

CoolSculpting is a great alternative to liposuction.

Liposuction remains the gold standard for fat reduction but if you do not want the pain, expense and prolonged recovery then CoolSculpting is an excellent optional. CoolSculpting is absolutely non-invasive. That means no surgery, not even a needle. I have had the procedure done on my abdomen and I can give a personal endorsement along with hundreds of successful patient treatments.

I can clearly say that all of my patients whom have had Coolsculpting all are extremely satisfied as well as return for additional areas. It definantely is technique driven and you need to make sure the office you are using knows the procedure well. I have seen great results and the satisfaction rate in my practice has been 100%

CoolSculpting Zeltiq not for cellulite nor is liposuction

There is no treatment that can consistently provide good results for cellulite. CoolSculpting by Zeltiq chills and kills the fat to resduce volume of fat without liposuction but can not provide as much reduction as liposuction.

CoolSculpting is an effective non-invasive treatment for fat removal. CoolSculpting is not a treatment for cellulite.

CoolSculpting is an effective non-invasive treatment for fat removal. CoolSculpting is not a treatment for cellulite. This modality of fat layer reduction does not address cellulite, it neither improves it nor worsens it. In my practice we have performed over 1,000 CoolSculpting treatments and have had very high patient satisfaction. It does provide permanent fat layer reduction through selective damage and death of the fat cells (adipocytes) via cold exposure of the targeted area of excess... more
