Q: Smart Lipo or CoolSculpting for a flat stomach? (Photo)
The best procedure for you depends on several factors, including what your aesthetic goals are. Your photos indicate to me that you are a candidate for both liposuction and Coolsculpting. Liposuction is a more aggressive option as it will directly address any excess fat, giving this area a slimmer and more contoured appearance. Coolsculpting is a great non-invasive option as well, it is just important to consider that the results are more subtle than liposuction as Coolsculpting is indicated for about a 20% reduction of the area and usually requires multiple treatments. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best of luck!
Q: I don't want a tummy tuck, would Smart Lipo give me good results? (Photos)
Based on your photos and history of pregnancy, I think you are a much better candidate for a full tummy tuck. A tummy tuck will repair the abdominal muscle and excise any excess skin, giving your stomach a flatter and more contoured appearance. A fat reduction procedure such as liposuction would reduce the appearance of any excess fat but will do nothing to address loose skin or diastasis recti, causing a less favorable result. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to devise a treatment plan that suits your needs. Best of luck!
Q: What would be the best non invasive way to remove fat from upper arms? (Photo)
There are numerous factors to consider when looking at body contouring procedures, one of the most significant being skin quality. In some cases, when a patient has significant excess skin or skin laxity, an arm lift is the most suitable procedure. When a patient has good skin quality and simply carries some extra fat in the arms, a fat reduction procedure such as liposuction or Coolsculpting is a more suitable option. An in-person evaluation will be necessary to give you a proper recommendation but based on your photos, I think that you would obtain a nice result from liposuction of the arms. Coolsculpting is a great non-invasive option as well, it is just important to consider that you may need several treatments. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best of luck!
Q: Would I need a neck lift to get rid of chin fat if I'm getting a chin implant? (Photos)
An in-person evaluation will be needed to assess the best procedure to address the chin area. The best procedure for you is dependent on several factors. In cases where the patient has good skin quality and there is simply some excess fat in the chin area, a fat reduction procedure such as liposuction or Coolsculpting would be advisable. When it comes to cases where there is a significant amount of excess skin present, a neck lift would be a more advisable option. Your photos do not indicate to me that you need a neck lift. I think that you will get a nice result from a chin implant alone. I would advise that you set up a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best of luck!
Q: What would be the best procedure to improve my sagging neck skin? (Photos)
Thank you for your question. From what I can see in your photos, I think that you would obtain a nice result from a neck lift. A neck lift will excise any excess skin, giving your neck a smoother and more youthful appearance. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best of luck!
