CoolSculpting or lipo for upper and lower abdomen?

I would
recommend booking an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic
surgeon to better asses your situation. CoolSculpting, which permanently freezes unwanted fat cells without causing any damage to the surrounding tissue, is an
effective alternative to invasive approaches such as liposuction, and it
achieves the same goals of eliminating stubborn pockets of fat without the
challenges associated with invasive procedures including surgery and recovery. Whatever your preference may be, do your research and go with a plastic surgeon
who is highly qualified in their field, so that he/she can properly asses your situation.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. This way, you can explain your concerns, learn more about the procedure, and find an option that fits you best. Regards, 

I would recommend you get an evaluation at a facility that has both a plastic surgeon AND Coolsculpt so you can get an honest answer about the advantages and disadvantages of each. You are most likely a candidate for either one.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Plastic SurgeonQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

The answer is this:  it's absolutely dependent on the patient and her needs and her anatomy. Both will be effective in getting rid of fat; the question is which will suit your needs best. I advise you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon who can keenly evaluate your anatomy and needs and therefore, can help you make the best decision. 

Thank you for your question and photos. From your photos, Coolsculpting may be a good treatment for your upper abdomen. However, Coolsculpting does not tighten skin. It does appear you have some skin laxity. This can only be completely addressed with a mini or full tummy tuck. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for best recommendations. Best of Luck,

Based on the photos that you have provided you can benefit from cool sculpting, you have pliable areas that can be addressed with coolsculpt to achieve optimal results you may need more than one session but that can de discussed during your consultation.  Keep in mind coolsculpt is strictly for reduction of fat cells and does not address skin laxity but based on your photos coolsculpting would be the treatment I would recommend.

Based on your photos, I recommend you have a consultation with a plastic surgeon in person. CoolSculpting won't improve loose skin.

Thanks for your question. To achieve both fat cell destruction and tightening, you may want to consider SculpSure Laser. It is indicated for permanent fat cell destruction but we also see significant tightening because this is a laser/heat based treatment (whereas Cool Sculpt does not heat and so does not tighten).There will definitely be SculpSure treatments available near you, New York is one of the cities with the most number of these devices. We have had great results with it in our medispa.Lisa Vuich, MD

Coolsculpting is the best non-surgical way to minimize the fat in a given area.  However, I often combine it with Thermage for the best skin tightening results.  An in patient exam is the only way to assess the area and see if you are a good candidate.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green

Though not indicated for skin tightening, our patients definitely get skin tightening along with fat reduction in the areas treated with Coolsculpting.  For someone like yourself, that is already thin, applicator placement is crucial so as not to receive dents or unevenness in the treated areas.  The good news is = Coolsculpting works!  If done incorrectly however, the bad news is Coolsculpting works! Consider a face to face consultation with an office and provider that is very experienced with Coolsculpting that can advise you about your treatment options and let you know (after an examination) if you are a good candidate.
