Coolsculpting or Lipo on a petite 34 year old?

RosalynT
I can’t decide whether I should do Coolsculpting or Lipo. My areas of concern is my lower back/flanks and outer thighs. From my research it seems I would need at least 4 treatments and 2-3 cycles, so once I add the cost it’s not far off from what lipo would cost for a much more dramatic result. However I know I don’t have that much fat (I don’t think) so is Lipo really necessary?
