Coolsculpt or Laser Lipo for Upper or Lower Abdomen? (photo)
Hi - I'm 5'8" and about 180 lbs and thinking about body contouring. One option I'm looking at is Coolsculpt to reduce the excess fat in my abdominal area. I'm weighing that option against laser liposuction and wondering which procedure will give me the best results. My expectations are that I do not expect to have a washboard stomach. However, I would like to de-bulk as much excess fat as reasonably possible on my abdominal area and weighing options in terms of cost, minimal downtime, and pain.

CoolSculpting vs Laser Liposuction
It's hard to give you a definite recommendation but just looking at your pictures you will get a better result from laser liposuction. With CoolSculpting you will get a 20% reduction of fat. Laser liposuction can give you 60-80% fat reduction. Depending on the physician and what type of laser liposuction they offer will determine the cost, downtime and pain factors.

Fat loss with liposuction, CoolSculpting, diet and exercise or need tummy tuck also
There are many components of a consultation for fat removal. The anatomy needs to be examined to see if there is a looseness of the supporting structure called the fascia around the abdominal muscles. This diastasis could cause a prominent bowing forward of the muscles and if this is not addressed in some in patients, no matter how much liposuction or CoolSculpting they have, they won't get a good response.
Other individuals can get very good reduction with one liposuction or a...

CoolSculpting for abdomen
Thank you for sharing the photos. The very best way to receive the best advice is with a personal consultation with a plastic surgeon. Looking at your photos I do not think you would be an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting at this time. Liposuction could possibly be a great option, but if you have fullness in the abdomen due to muscle separation, a tummy tuck would be the answer.
It is also possible that you could lose some weight on your own and then find that you could be a better...

Additional weight loss vs liposuction and tummy tuck
Hello,
Thank you for the photos. You have several options. Additional weight loss is one. If you desire a body contouring treatment circumferential liposuction and possibly a tummy tuck would likely give you the best result. I think laser lipo or coolsculpting alone may not provide you with the result that you may desire.
All the best,

Ideal CoolSculpting Candidate
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Your doctor will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation. Typically, CoolSculpting results in a 20-25% reduction of fat. I believe you would receive better, more dramatic results from laser liposuction. Best of luck.
