I am considering either Liposuction, Buttock Augmentation through fat grafting or Cool Sculpting primarily for hips and saddlebag area (inner and outer/back thighs). For obvious reasons, I prefer Cool Sculpting but only if it is affective in those areas. I very much appreciate an honest professional opinion since I definitely want to have something done about my stubborn fat. thank you.

Answer: CoolSculpting or other options for saddle bag areas CoolSculpting has FDA approval for fat reduction since 2010. CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells. Fat cells are more susceptible to damage by freezing than the other cells, (nerve, vessel, bone, etc.), around them. The fat cells die via a process called apoptosis, (programmed cell death). The number of fat cells are therefore reduced. This happens over a period of time, so the body is not overwhelmed with dead fat cells. The body will take these cells up, process them and excrete them, just as any other cell. The remnants are filtered through the liver, and then excreted eventually via stool. CoolSculpting now has an applicator for thighs. CoolSculpting had been used in this area with good results. See an experienced CoolSculpting practice, they will determine if you are a candidate. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. They will be able to tell you of the different options, (CoolSculpting, Liposuction, Direct excision, etc.).

Answer: Coolsculpting thighs Coolsculpting is a great option for the inner thighs. I even like it more that liposuction sometimes because the fat reduction is slower and allows time for the skin to retract. The outer thighs do well too but may need more treatments as the fat is more resistant there.

Answer: CoolSculpting for Thighs CoolSculpting can work well for the inner and outer thigh areas, and you can see results in as little as 1 month. CoolSculpting is very different from liposuction and not as effective as liposuction, but is very effective for a noninvasive treatment. With the CoolSmooth applicator, which is a flat applicator, the outer and posterior thighs can be treated effectively. The CoolFit applicator works well to target the fat at the inner thighs. Usually CoolSculpting treatments at the thighs can require multiple treatments. With CoolSculpting, you cannot take the fat and transfer it to other body areas. Obtain a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for treatment and how many treatments would be needed for you to see a significant result. A consultation can also help you determine which route you should take in terms of the other procedures you are considering as well.
