Patients post minimal pain to pain quite difficult to manage. o your patients get good results from Cool Scupting? I have a large abdomen (top portion under the breast bone). I had no children. About seven years ago, fat started packing on a little each year. I am not interested in a tummy tuck. I will not put myself through that! Can I get some results from Smart Lipo?
Answer: Coolsculpting Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction for the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.

Answer: Patient's results from CoolSculpting The literature will state that there is about a 20 to 25 percent reduction in fat. We have seen this to be true in our office. We typically recommend more than one cycle per individual area. Every patient is different, so best to get a consult from a certified, experienced CoolSculpt office. It is a very nice non surgical option, especially for those who cannot have post surgical downtime.

Answer: It would be difficult to tell without seeing you what the best course of action would be. The great thing about CoolSculpting is that it works. Unfortunately the challenging thing about coolsculpting can be that it works as well. If you are significantly above your target weight you may not be an ideal candidate for coolsculpting as you will want to be sure that the result is even. When you start treating areas that are much larger than the applicators you begin to run the risk of having uneven results. I would highly recommend that you schedule a consultation with the office of a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your options.

Answer: Coolsculpting is safe and effective for the reduction of subcutaneous fat Hi there-Without evaluating you in person and as an individual, it is not possible (or ethical or responsible) for me to offer you an opinion about whether or not you are a candidate or if Coolsculpting is your best option. The good news is that if you haven't had children, you probably don't need a tummy tuck...In general terms, however, I can comfortably tell you:Coolsculpting is definitely safe and effective- and this is why it is FDA approvedCoolsculpting works best when applied to patients who are carefully selected as good candidates- and not so good for those who pursue it as an attempt to avoid a different procedure that was recommended for them as their best option... In other words, patients who have Coolsculpting because they have been told they need a tummy tuck, and are hoping to avoid one, are generally not so happy with the outcome.I am not a fan of smart lipo for anything. When it comes to any medical care, the 3 most important questions are- does it work better than other options, is it safer than other options, and (if the answers to the other 2 are yes) is it less expensive than other options? Unfortunately with Smlart lipo the answers to these questions are not yes...
