UltraShape works well but does not replace liposuction
Liposuction is still the gold-standard for fat removal. The non-invasive procedures like UltraShape will never replace lipo nor be as predictable. However, UltraShape is an alternative for patients who do not want lipo or its side effects. We have used UltraShape in our clinic in Canada (where it is approved) since 2007 with very good, consistent results.

Stick with liposuction. I think Ultrashape is a gimmick.

You won't get the same result from UltraShape.
Unfortunately, this mini procedure gives mini results. If you have more than a very small amount of fat, you will get much better results with liposuction. This is why liposuction is one of the most performed operations in the U.S. The fat cells are removed and won't come back. The discomfort of liposuction is minimal and our patients return to work in 4 days.
