In our experience Coolsculpting offers the best options for non-invasive fat reduction. We  had other devices and none have provided the consistent, dependable results of Coolsculpting. Now we have two Coolsculpting units so we can treat patients in half the time. To learn more visit the link below. Best of luck

Although I would probably recommend a combination of ultrasonic and suction lipectomy as the procedure of choice for your abdomen and waist, CoolSculpting would be the non-invasive procedure of choice if surgery is completely out of the question. The actual destruction of fat cells with CoolSculpting will provide long term contour improvement.

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

When I researched fat reduction technology, I had been following externally delivered ultrasound energy for years but I appreciated the mechanism of action with Zeltiq as soon as it obtained its FDA clearance. What is unique about CoolSculpting is that the freezing does not just liberate triglycerides out of the fat cells, it kills the fat cells. Other treatments that liberate the fat without killing the cells do not prevent one from putting more fat back on in the treated areas quickly. Certainly, the Zeltiq does not kill all the cells so the remaining cells can gain fat too, but this device can produce long term improvement.

We have had excellent results in our practice using Zeltiq CoolSculpting for localized "pockets" of fat in the flanks, abdomen or back. Before deciding on which is best, you should be evaluated by an experienced physician in these treatments. The one issue with Zeltiq is that not everyone is a candidate for the procedure.

Carmen Kavali, MD · Answer

CoolSculpting is the only one of these devices to permanently destroy the fat cells.  The others are temporary, if they are effective at all.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

If the goal is nonsurgical fat reduction, coolsculpting for the approved areas is the optimal treatment. Consult with a board certified physician who can provide both surgical and nonsurgical options to best understand your options.

Robert Whitfield, MD · Answer

Cool Sculpting is FDA approved to remove fat permanently from stubborn areas like love handles, lower abdomen, inner thighs, outer thighs, back.......

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

CoolSculpting is the only one of those devices that is FDA approved for permanent fat reduction.  It is by far the single most reliable, effective and consistent form of non-surgical permanent fat reduction. CoolSculpting is your best option of anything else on the market.

Michael Law, MD · Answer

There are many options out there. Many are effective - for the right candidate. others are not effective at all. I understand people who are not interested in surgery. But, always be careful about practices that offer lots of "gadgets" without offering surgery. 

	It appears that you could possible be a good candidate for CoolSculpting. But, without a consultation it is impossible to know. CoolSculpting is great for bumps and bulges around the abdomen. But, it will not be effective for visceral fat, not will it improve skin contour. 

	Perhaps you could consider a consultation in the office of a plastic surgeon that offers CoolSculpting in addition to surgery.

Daniel Shapiro, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Based on the information you shared, I believe CoolSculpting would be your best option. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Of course, your doctor will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation. Best of luck!
