What is the best nonsurgical fat reduction treatment for inner thighs and saddle bags?

Question

I'm in pretty good shape with a BMI of 20. I've always carried extra weight in my thighs and hated it, especially in my saddlebag area. Even when I lose a few pounds and am at my absolute thinnest, my saddlebags are still there. I'd like to try a nonsurgical fat reduction procedure, but there are so many options out there from type to machine. I've been to a Coolsculpting consultation, but then I started learning about other procedures that use heat and ultrasound. What's best for thighs?

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting could be a very good option for these treatment areas. The device features multiple applicators of different shapes and sizes, which allow for effective slimming of many different problem spots. It is likely you will need more than one treatment session to achieve full results, particularly in the saddlebags. I advise you to work with a board-certified doctor with extensive experience in CoolSculpting to ensure an optimal outcome.

I find that liposuction with internal heating does the best (see links) but if you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like coolsculpting with vanquish or TrusculptID to get small areas of fat reduced.  Skin also tightens if you combine this with exilis ultra, venus legacy, Inmode Forma/Contoura radiofrequency treatments.  You boost the results from coolsculpting if you add in Kybella injections to melt fat as well.  We also combine coolsculpting with shock therapy like Z wave, EVIVE, and cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I would not say that there is one best treatment option to reduce fat on the inner thighs and saddle bags and different physicians will have varying opinions of which treatments they think are best.  In my opinion, I would say CoolSculpting and SculpSure are probably the best options to treat fat on the inner thighs and saddle bags.  Sometimes, one device will fit the patient a little better than another device, so the examination of the patient can help to determine which treatment might be best.

CoolSculpting is non-invasive procedure that uses a vacuum applicator to draw in skin and underlying subcutaneous fat to deliver controlled cooling. This penetrates below the skin causing permanent elimination of fat. It is perfect for those who maintain a healthy lifestyle but can't get rid of stubborn fat in certain areas.

Thank you for your question. 
There is a wide range of CoolSculpitng applicators designed to treat multiple areas throughout the body. I recommend CoolScupting because, in my opinion, it is the best non-surgical body contouring procedure. I would have to see photos or conduct and exam to see if you are a good candidate.
