Which would work best for me, CoolSculpting or a laser treatment to get rid of my hanging abdomen?

January 8, 2017
Asked By:toritone in Huntington, NY

I am a 53 year old woman. I have lost 45 lbs over the last year or so through diet and exercise. I am 5'3" 134 lbs. I cannot afford a tummy tuck nor do I want to have extensive surgery. Although I have stretch marks and scars from a laprocopic procedure, my main concern is the hanging fat/skin. I was thinking of Coolsculpting but concerned that if it removes the fat cells I would just have more skin hanging. I have attached pictures. One is me leaning over a bit. Thank you, Toni
