Coolsculpt or Emsculpt for waistline? (Photo)

Question

I workout a lot, I’m a bikini competitor aspiring, and working with a coach currently. We’re in an off season, so a bit fluffier.

I think if you want to have an hourglass shape you would need to add some fat around the hips to get that.  For that you would need to gain weight ie 15-20 lbs and they would transfer that fat to the desired areas.  A lot of people are really uncomfortable about having to gain that weight to achieve this.  Otherwise, the Emsculpt with the lateral side adapter may help to lessen the fat around the love handles and flanks.  I don’t think Coolscupting would be the right choice.

Nothing is better than maintaining a healthy mind and body all year long. Even though, as you say, it’s off-season, it does not mean that you should stop taking care of your body by eating more or unhealthy. I would not recommend using cool sculpting because it may ruin your body in the hands of a non-professional(because that is who usually uses it). If you’re that concerned, go see a plastic surgeon and point out the areas that you do not like. The photographs you submitted show a healthy woman so you definitely need to be examined in person. I hope this helps and good luck from NYC Plastic Surgery
