Which Procedure Would Work Better for the "Spare Tire", Coolsculpting or Smartlipo?

Coolsculpting and Smart Lipo are both excellent therapeutic
options for managing localized fat of the lower abdomen and flanks. Both
procedures offer advantages and the choice of procedure depends on a variety of
factors.

                  Without
pictures or a physical exam it’s hard to know which option is best for any
given patient. When larger amounts of fat are present, liposuction will most
likely yield a superior result. Unfortunately, this procedure may be
associated, with more pain and longer recoveries.

                  When
smaller amounts of fat are present, excellent results can occur with
coolsculpting with shorter recoveries and less pain in the post-operative
period.

                  If
you’re considering treatment of your “Spare tire”, consultation with a board
certified plastic surgeon would be appropriate. This surgeon can advise you
regarding which procedure is best for you.

Whether you should have Coolsculpting or Smartlipo depends on a number of factors. Do you want a non-invasive treatment with no downtime or a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime? Since Coolsculpting is a non-invasive treatment there are less risks and downtime. Smartlipo is more powerful but involves surgery and some downtime.
