Vanquish or Exilis for fat reduction on abdomen for female w/ 20 BMI? (photo)

Vanquish is a device that delivers controlled heating into the treatment area to melt away fat cells without disrupting surrounding skin or tissue. It is a non-invasive, painless treatment that produces subtle contouring in the right patient. I recommend you schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist who has extensive experience in the Vanquish process, as this is a relatively new technology. Through a comprehensive examination and discussion of your needs and goals, you should be able to design a treatment plan to meet your individual expectations. 

In truth, non-surgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis, Cellutone/Zwave. However, for best results, a Tummy Tuck procedure can be combined with a high definition procedure at the same time. For best results, I recommend VASER HI-DEF Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion, InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question and posting your picture. For patients who are not a good candidate for Coolsculpting (either too big or too small), I find that Vanquish Me is a good treatment alternative. I have seen some very impressive results in patients who are not candidate for liposuction or Coolsculpting. While Excilis is also an RF device that heats tissue, it does not have an FDA indication for the destruction of fat cells.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
