Better Results for Love Handles, Coolsculpting or Liposuction?

This is a favored treatment for dual Sculpting with Cool sculpting.  Absolutely works with no downtime.Body
reshaping can be performed with a cannula that removes fat via liposuction or
with noninvasive technology like Cool Sculpting. With Cool Sculpting there is no cannula
inserted into your body. All treatments
are performed on the surface from the outside in using technology that freezes
the fat. Don’t hesitate to give us a
call in Austin regarding a Body Reshaping Consult at the Upper Room. On our Facebook Page there is an Interview I
recently did with KVUE, a local news station in Austin, that was picked by
affiliates around the United States, including Miami. During the Interview we discussed the
technology of Cool Sculpting as well as it application process.

Hello, 

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive way to permanently reduce fat cells. It will remove 25-30% of the fat cells in the treated areas, and then it will take 3-4 months to see the full results. You will have some swelling and mild discomfort after the treatments, and possibly some numbness. Lipo may allow you to see a greater reduction of fat, depending on the area and what needs to be done. It will have a small amount of downtime, and the possibility of scaring. However you will see the results a little quicker than with CoolSculpting. It would be best to consult with a local physician to determine which treatment would be best suited for you. Good luck!

CoolSculpting has FDA approval for fat reduction since 2010. CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells. Fat cells are more susceptible to damage by freezing than the other cells, (nerve, vessel, bone, etc.), around them. The fat cells die via a process called apoptosis, (programmed cell death). The number of fat cells are therefore reduced. This happens over a period of time, so the body is not overwhelmed with dead fat cells. The body will take these cells up, process them and excrete them, just as any other cell. The remnants are filtered through the liver, and then excreted eventually via stool.  We have had good experience with the skin snapping back.  Each individual is different.  We usually see about a 25% reduction with CoolSculpting.  Liposuction gives more dramatic results, but is more invasive.  See an experienced CoolSculpting practice, they will determine if you are a candidate.  Moreover, would also consider seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, who can give advice on both CoolSculpting and Liposuction.
