Any Success with sculpsure and I lipo xcell together? Where does the fat go if scale doesnt go down but area is smaller?

Question

I bought a package of 3 sculptures & 16 ilipo xcell session. I did one sculpsure for the upper abdomen with the four plates then another one for four plates on the top then did the flanks with another session with two plates on each side. For 4 weeks inbetween my first round I will be doing the ilipo xcell 2x a week on treated areas then after 2nd sculpsure I will be continuing for 4 more weeks 2x a week with the ilipo. How does area get smaller but no fat loss on scale?

Anna Avaliani, MD · Answer

Sculpsure is a great, non invasive and permanent fat cell removal system.  The fat is selectively destroyed in targeted areas where the applicators are placed and the heat also has a spread of about  1 inch to make results appear smoother and even.  The amount of fat should not affect your scale because it affects a small area. The cells are destroyed for ever, so they do not go anywhere else.  It';s simply the remaining fat cells left in other parts of the body, that will get larger if you gain a Significant amount of weight . Hope this helps. Best, Dr.Avaliani

Thank you for your question. SculpSure can reduce up to 25% of fat in treated areas in just 25 minutes for most patients. I suggest that you move forward and consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your treatment plan.
Best wishes,

I always remind my patients that SculpSure is not a weight loss technique. It's about body contouring. You won't see any major difference in terms of the scale. You will, however, see a difference in the shape of your body and how you look and feel in clothes.

Robert M. Wald, Jr., MD · Answer

A person undergoing liposuction or non invasive fat treatment, will not usually see a marked decrease in weight. Sculpsure targets fat cells and one can see up to a 24%  improvement in body contour. Areas of fat accumulation in the abdomen and flanks are best treated. Up to 3 treatments are required to see the best results. If you are looking for a procedure to loose weight, this is not for you.

David Finkle, MD · Answer

Fat actually is fairly light in weight compared to other tissues like muscle and bone.  The percentage of fat removed with SculpSure, CoolSculpting or liposuction is actually quite small, therefore you will NOT see any weight change.  Now your clothes should fit better, but it is even unusual to see a size change in clothes after these procedures.Good Luck!
