Is CoolSculpting right for my situation?

Hello and thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a safe and effective way to target areas of stubborn fat. The abdomen and flanks, (often known as love handles), are very common treatment areas as many people tend to have stubborn fat in this region, despite diet and exercise. Soft, pinchable tissue is what typically makes you a good candidate, although an in person thorough consultation would be able to best guide you. While Coolsculpting will not cause you to lose weight on the scale, it will help improve your natural contours by reducing tissue in the areas of concern. Hope this helps!

Coolsculpting works best on pinchable fat. You would definitely benefit form CoolSculpting if you are just trying to focus on the abdomen area.

CoolSculpting and liposuction are both effective in reducing localized areas of unwanted fat. The main advantage of liposuction is that it can remove more fat in a single treatment session. CoolSculpting can be effective, but normally takes at least 2 treatment sessions to get the desired improvement. CoolSculpting is non-surgical though, so that is an advantage for many people. Of course, an examination of you would be helpful to give you the best advice, but I would say that either treatment would probably give you improvement.
