Is laser liposuction or CoolSculpting right for me? How many sessions will I need for each? (Photos)

Hi, when you say "laser liposuction" are you referring to laser assisted liposuction such as Smartlipo or a non-invasive laser lipolysis such as Sculpture? In my experience, Coolsculpting removes more fat than laser lipolysis. Of the non-invasive laser lipolysis devices, the Sculpture seems to work the best. Coolsculpting does have the risk of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia PAH. This is rare but, the fat can actually get bigger with Coolsculpting. For these reasons, I prefer minimally invasive out patient liposuction. Power assisted liposuction can give excellent, predictable results with minimal down time when performed by an experienced doctor. You do not necessarily need laser assisted unless you remove a lot of fat and need skin tightening to avoid loose hanging skin. I prefer Renuvion for the skin tightening. If you have a good doctor performing out patient liposuction, this will give you the best results and possibly save you money by not having non-invasive procedures then going for the liposuction anyway.

Dear UBurch,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
