Absolutely CoolSculpting works for bra rolls. We have treated that area a lot on women. I would highly recommend having a consultation with a provider. At your consultation they can even take the area you want treated and do a "test suction" to make sure the fat will drawn into the applicator enough to get a nice result.
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
I would recommend a breast lift. Since you aren't interested in increasing your size I would discourage you from breast augmentation. Also, if you were to place an implant in without a breast lift it would typically be like putting a rock in a sock. Good luck with your research.

Yes, Botox works well in the DAO muscles to lift the corners of your mouth. It typically takes 2 weeks to see the full benefit of Botox. After that time frame and you still see marionette lines you might consider an injectable filler to smooth out the lines.
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Sometimes patient experience lumps after Coolsculpting. We recommend to our patients to gently massage the area. This usually helps the lump to soften and disappear.
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
It's very important that you are comfortable with not only the surgeon but his whole office. For you aren't comfortable with the doctors in your area I would suggest looking outside of your area. Sometimes it's worth the travel for awesome results. When visiting a doctor for consultation you want to make sure he can show you many before & after photos of his actual patients. You can also request to speak with a patient that has had the same procedure you want. Make sure the doctor is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. There are many "boards" but the American Society of Plastic Surgeons only certifies doctor that are trained specifically in plastic surgery. Good luck in your search.
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
There are a number of options to treat what you are describing. Depending on your skin type and the shape of your eyes will determine the best treatment. I would recommend going onto the American Board of Plastic Surgery web site and searching for a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. We also recommend you visit 2-3 different doctors, hear there recommendations and look at before & after photos of their actual patients. You should feel comfortable & confident in the doctor and his office staff. Good luck with your research.

Are you concerned with fat in the breast area? Just from looking at your photos it doesn't seem like you have a lot of fat in that area. In regards to CoolSculpting, we have treated a number of men with CoolSculpting to the breast area with phenomenal results. I think it would be worth going to see a physician with CoolSculpting experience to see if your a candidate. You may also want to look into Smartlipo Triplex to remove the fat, with this technology it not only removes the fat but also stimulates collagen to tighten the skin.
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
I don't believe Thermage will give you the results you want. It's hard to determine just from a photograph but we would probably recommend the LazerLift procedure. This procedure will remove any fat under chin along with tightening the skin under you chin, jawline and neck. You should consider looking into that procedure. To find a doctor near you go to the LazerLift web site and type in your zip code. We have treated a patient with similar facial shape as yourself and she is very pleased with her results.
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
There is no way to determine how you will bruise, if you do. If you have taken aspirin, anti-inflammatories, vitamin E or fish oil within 2 weeks of your treatment it increases your chances for bruising. We have seen patients that only bruise where applicator was placed, some bruised on surrounding tissue and some didn't bruise. I would suggest staying away from medication that are blood thinners as I mentioned above. That may help.

I had a mastopexy or breast lift done with Dr. Hugo like almost 20 years ago and still beautiful til today. He did a phenomenal job and I thank him for it everyday. He is very professional and they have a very good bedside manner. His staff were very helpful, overall I love it.
I'll start by saying that I love this practice. I initially started getting Botox there probably 5 years ago and have been happy with my results. Ever the perfectionist, I became interested in CoolSculpting two years ago and asked Pat about it. I had a lengthy consult with Dr Hugo and I remember him downplaying the expected results. He underpromised and over delivered; During the fat-freezing, Chrissy pampered me; I felt like I was at a spa. I am exceptionally happy with my results and even went back for other areas. coolsculpt works! Thank you Dr Hugo!, Pat and Chrissy for helping me to age more gracefully.
The staff is kind and informative, and they are very easy to talk to. Both Pat and Doctor Hugo are sensitive to my concerns and my fears! I love them and will continue to use their services as long as possible. I come all the way from North Carolina to have them work on me. My mother and sister also love their renewed natural youthful touches!
I had the DOT fractional CO2 Laser procedure done by Dr. Ben Hugo in Virginia Beach, VA. He is a very caring, competent and talented cosmetic surgeon. His specialty is a very natural look. With this laser treatment, you get a wonderful soft rejuvenation with a non surgical procedure. This procedure is a good value because the cost covers the entire face, upper and lower eyelids, neck and chest so that there is no line visible where the treatment stops. The recovery time is about a week and the results get better over the next few months. I get compliments every day about how good I look and how "I don't seem to have aged!" It doesn't get better than that!
Although a little painful (especially around certain areas such as lips and eyes) because the tranquilizer didn't really work for me, the results are worth it! I have had this procedure twice now after using an imiquimod to attack actinic keratosis. I couldn't be happier with the way my skin looks afterward! There is a noticeable difference with fine lines and sun spots. My skin appears smoother and brighter. I'm not taking forever and a day to cover up places on my face that shouldn't be there!!!
I've been a patient of Dr. Hugo's for over a decade and have to say that him and his staff are always wonderful! In my late 30's I started with Botox to soften fine forehead and brow lines. Pat is amazing and for the past couple of years she has injected a touch by my eyebrows that gives me a more arched eyebrow. Thank you Pat, I always love my visits and our conversations. Dr. Hugo has always been available and completely honest with any questions I have. In all the years I've going everyone has always been professional, and kind. I am also very satisfied with results. ~Shawn
BRIEF HISTORY : I'm 34 yrs old .Weight 115 lbs . height 5.6 . Good Shape. Active person.MY TUMMY,MY NIGHTMARE : I have always been thin and I have always kept myself active, however I have always had this problem with my Tummy and I never wear a bikini .COOLS: I was the perfect candidate ( Healthy eating, gym everyday etc...) . I saw pictures and videos and I knew that THIS PROCEDURE is different for each person. However I decided to try. Going on 20 Days and I started to see the results. My tummy is a bit smaller but I know I have a long way to go Updated on 20 Apr 2015: APRIL 20.2015 20 DAYS After Coolsculpting : I don't have pain anymore. Even before the pain wasn't that bad at all. However the Doctor and the nurse prepared me for the worst. My tummy seems a bit smaller and my pants are fitting better in that area! I'm so excited to see the full results In another 2 months or more and if this procedure is successful I WILL do my Love Handles .
This was completely amazing. I've been wanting to get this done for 2-3 years and I finally just did it! I got the large applicaiton done on my lower stomach. At first they were afraid it wouldn't fit so they had me sit, push my stomach out and lean forward and they were able to fit it. I weigh 120 and i've always been so thin with a stomach pouch. I sat there for an hour and watched tv. No pain during the procedure. I was so nervous for the sucking, but it was nothing. I was laughing during a lot of the procedure thinking about how easy this was and how nervous I was. Once she took it off I had the giant stick of butter on my stomach that she massaged - such a strange feeling. The next two nights I just felt numb there. Maybe a week later I started feeling intense pain. I took asprin but that was a joke. I also didn't tell anyone that I had it done so I had to pretend that I was just sore from working out. But it was bad. I didn't regret it, but it was very painful. This lasted 3 or 4 days. Wearing a corset helped (I actually wore two corsets). But that pain eventually went away. It has been a month now and the numbness has mostly worn off. After the pain for a few days I honestly forgot I had the procedure. I saw no change. BUT in the past few days I've seen a huge change. I can sit and my stomach stays in! When i'm standing my stomach looks completely flat! I can't wait to post my pics when I go back in for my checkup on the 19th. I already feel so comfortable. I used to want to die if i had to wear a bikini, and now i'm just wishing it was summer.
Crying after an awful break up made my eyes swell like a prize fighter. When I got over it, I looked 20 yrs older then my 43 yrs. Single and looking aged, I was sent to Dr Hugo by a stranger I met in a restroom mirror. The surgery was reasonable and recovery was quick. Now at 52 I look 38 almost 10 years later.
Had SmartLipo on my abdomen done last Monday, June 4. I actually went back to work the next day! I'm tender and it's uncomfortable when I bend to stand or sit. Wearing garment helps and I'm still swollen. I had NO bruises! I had traditional liposuction 14 years ago and was totally black & blue so I was excited to see that was not an issue with SmartLipo. I had baby 22 months ago so I had fat bulges and loose skin. Can't wait to see the results. I will post pictures once the swelling goes down.
