What is a cheaper alternative to Liposuction (photos)

In plastic surgery there are almost always ranges of options. There is the least expensive, least invasive option on one end of the spectrum and the more expensive, more invasive on the other end. The most useful treatment, in my opinion, on the non-invasive end of the spectrum is CoolSculpting. This is not something that I trusted before I saw results in our patients, but it does provide the ability to get the 1-2 inches you desire, with your build, at minimal costs.  I would treat both sides of your lower abdomen with one treatment using two heads.  Time would be one hour and cost would be $1200 for the two treatments.Best,Dr. Pyle

There are non-surgical ways to shape your waistline, but the
results are more gradual than liposuction.  CoolSculpting is a method to non-surgically treat the fat in the love
handle region.  It utilizes cooling
technology that freezes the fat cells, which then undergo a process of
organized cell death which in turn gets eliminated safely from your body.  There is no downtime, the procedure can be
done in the office with no anesthesia required, and each treatment area takes
about an hour to treat.  For example, the
flanks usually require 2-4 treatments (depending on the size), and on average
each treatment costs around $650.  However, I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your
area to determine your exact needs.
