i am wondering if non surgical liposuction can give the same results as liposuction surgery, but without long recovery (read here bruises last 6 months!). i'd like to get fat taken out of love handles.
Answer: Non-surgical Liposuction can give similar results to Liposuction in thin areas By nonsurgical liposuction I suspect you mean ZERONA which is a non surgical laser treatment to thin fat areas. It does work but only on thin areas. If your love handles are not too big then it would be a consideration to do @ $2400 for a series of 6 treatments over a 2 wk period. It is totally painless, no injections, no downtime, no bruising and results can be seen within 1 month. Definitely get a consultation.

Answer: Liposuction Is Superior, and Bruising Resolves Quickly Actually, there is significant misunderstanding about the merits of nonsurgical liposuction versus surgical liposuction. Surgical liposuction, if performed with fine cannulas and tumescent technique, causes no more than modest bruising which usually completely resolves within 2 weeks. The incisions are tiny, and long term are not visible at arm's-length distance. With a limited area like the love handles, the procedure can be done in the office under local anesthesia and light oral sedation with return to normal activities the next day. Nonsurgical liposuction has the obvious appeal of no incisions at all, but in fact often leaves more soreness for the first week, and the results take months to see instead of weeks. Usually 2 or 3 treatments are necessary, and the costs then are fairly similar. I find that surgical liposuction gives much more predictable results in a skilled surgeon’s hands.

Answer: Non-surgical liposuction There is no such thing as ‘non-surgical liposuction’ - that is a marketing term used by some clinics. There are other non-surgical methods of reducing fatty deposits, but they do not achieve the same result as a liposuction surgery. Fat freezing - cryolipolysis - using the Coolsculpting device or one of the similar ones now on the market can achieve localised spot fat reduction and it is especially effective for treating love handles. This is a non-invasive procedure, typically with no down time and lower risks (note that it is not risk free however - no medical procedure ever is).

Answer: Liposuction is the Most Reliable Treatment Thank you for your question. Treatments like CoolSculpting and different Ultrasound techniques seem to be able to eliminate some fat, in some people, some of the time. None of these techniques are as powerful or reliable as liposuction, meaning tumescent liposuction.

Answer: Liposuction Liposuction is a surgical technique where fat is removed from the body through small incisions. There really is no non-surgical version. There are machines that can reduce fat in areas of the body non-surgically such as Coolsculpting. The results can be good, but usually multiple treatments are required to get the best results. If you consider the time and cost needed for repeated coolsculpting sessions, liposuction could be a better option for you. Laser liposuction techniques greatly reduce bruising and swelling after surgery.

Answer: Non-surgical fat reduction will not give same results There is no such thing as “non-surgical liposuction”; I suspect you are thinking of non-surgical fat reduction or body shaping devices such as CoolSculpting, Vanquish, Liposonix, UltraShape, or Kybella, which do not require incisions and have minimal to no downtime. Unfortunately, non-surgical devices will not give you the same results as liposuction. They can be effective for reducing small areas of fat over a series of treatments, and many people find them preferable to liposuction because of the lack of recovery time needed, but ultimately liposuction will give you more dramatic results after just one treatment. I suggest visiting a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience in body contouring for an in-person evaluation and consultation to determine which type of procedure is best for you.
