In good shape but would like to flatten belly and flanks a bit. Have had CoolSculpting done which worked, although my skin became loose and squishy afterwards. I may have fat transfer done and would guess abdomen would be source for fat, so don't want to take away too much fat just in case. Any thoughts?

Answer: Vanquish or EMSculpt? Vanquish and EMSculpt work very differently. Vanquish can reduce the subcutaneous fat in some patients while EMSculpt targets the muscle layer, minimizing about 20% of the fat while improving the tone and bulk of the underlying muscle. Vanquish does not treat the muscle layer at all, and in our experience was a little hit or miss on the amount of fat reduction. I would consider having your fat transfer first, then consider EMSculpt to tighten and tone the underlying muscle.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

Answer: Vanquish and Emsculpt Combination Therapy Thank you for your question. The Vanquish is a radio frequency device that targets fat cells and permanently destroys them. Whereas the Emsculpt device builds muscle by contracting your muscle, which is equivalent to 20,000 sit ups. In our office, we have had great success with our patients having a combination of both treatments. Not only are you getting rid of fat cells in the area being treated but also tightening the area by building muscle. I would recommend consulting with a Board-Certified Dermatologist before deciding to have a fat transfer to determine if you are a candidate for the treatment.
