I’m considering getting either CoolSculpting or Vaser Lipo on abdomen and love handles. Which one would you suggest? (Photo)

In simplest terms, the difference between CS and lipo is this: Surgical or invasive options will give you the better result and the faster result. The benefit of the non-surgical or non-invasive approaches like Coolsculpting is that they avoid any of whatever perceived aggravation you feel may be related to surgery, but the results will not be quite as good and certainly not as fast. Also, depending on the volume of fat in the area, one is likely to require multiple sessions, so at some point, multiple sessions of CS will be more costly than lipo. In your case, since there is a time factor involved, lipo will likely give you the better results by the time of your trip. The more important consideration is what your goals and expectations are. You should be seen by an experienced cosmetic surgeon, who has both treatment options available, and can help you determine what will best meet your needs.

Thank you for your question! Both procedures will give you results within 3 months, but if you're looking for a more dramatic change and you have the time for a recovery then you'd probably be happier with Vaser Liposculpture of your abdomen/hips/flanks. Best of luck!
