Does cavitation work for moderate fat loss in problem areas?

Question

I am 5'6 and around 125 pounds but no matter how clean I eat and how much I exercise I still have love handles and really obvious saddlebags. I was thinking of going for some non invasive body contouring methods and I stumbled across cavitation. Does it really work? Is cryolipolysis better? And what are some efficient procedures to improve the look of cellulite?

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

I strongly recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. There are several techniques out there that can help with decreasing body fat. The right one for you will be determined by your wants and needs, your body shape and skin, and overall health.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest an informal consultation with someone who does integrative body contouring, ie will look at your whole body and see if youre a candidate for surgical or nonsurgical (or both) procedures.  Even patients that are low weight/small, can be disproportionate.  I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.

Some patients feel they sometimes get some degree of benefit. Pretty iffy. But there is the question of the experience and skill of the individual giving the treatment. I would not spend a penny until I heard from at least 2-3 previously treated patients to see if they liked their results. The treating physician is not allowed to give you names of patients, but since you aren't a patient yet he can call his patients, give them your name, and ask them to call you. If he won't do that you have your answer right there.
