Is Smartlipo a better option for someone who is fairly fit and in good health, but the "roll" sticks around even when weight is lost in other areas?
Answer: Coolsculpting versus liposuction Assuming you have an expert provider in both solutions, I would say that Smartlipo or even traditional liposuction can outperform Coolsculpting. As the first plastic surgeon in Houston to adopt Coolsculpting, I am very familiar with the capabilities of what Coolsculpting can do. I do get very nice results for my patients, but I do know that I get even stronger results using Slimlipo, Vaser lipo, or traditional liposuction.

Answer: CoolSculpting or SmartLipo may be good options
It sounds like you might be a good candidate for either procedure. SmartLipo is going to give you much more dramatic results more quickly because more fat can be removed at one time. CoolSculpting treats about 20-25% of the fat cells in the specific treatment area and takes about 3 months to show full results. SmartLipo has minimal downtime and costs more. CoolSculpting is less expensive, and offers zero downtime. Some people do not want surgery and CoolSculpting offers a nice alternative with realistic expectations. We offer both procedures and have patients who may be candidates for either procedure but personal preference dictates which option they choose. SmartLipo results will be highly dependent on the skills of your plastic surgeon. Be sure to look for a board-certified plastic surgeon if you decide to opt for liposuction.

Answer: CoolSculpting is Great for Eliminating Spare Tire CoolSculpting has become quite well known as an effective fighter of "spare tire." The condition you are describing is exactly what we look for in a good CoolSculpting candidate. A person who is fairly fit and in good health who has stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to diet or exercise is typically a great candidate for CoolSculpting. The best way to know for sure is to have a consultation with a highly experienced CoolSculpting specialist who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: CoolSculpting Vs. Smart Lipo Coolsculpting and Smart Lipo are both excellent therapeutic options for managing localized fat of the lower abdomen and flanks. Both procedures offer advantages and the choice of procedure depends on a variety of factors. Without pictures or a physical exam it’s hard to know which option is best for any given patient. When larger amounts of fat are present, liposuction will most likely yield a superior result. Unfortunately, this procedure may be associated, with more pain and longer recoveries. When smaller amounts of fat are present, excellent results can occur with coolsculpting with shorter recoveries and less pain in the post-operative period. If you’re considering treatment of your “Spare tire”, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be appropriate. This surgeon can advise you regarding which procedure is best for you.

Answer: Ideal Candidate for CoolSculpting
It sounds like you may be an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting especially if your are fit and have stubborn areas around your waist. SmartLipo (or "SlowLipo as I like to call it) is much more invasive and I always combine it with standard suction lipectomy. I love SmartLipo in the area of the neck, however. If you want to avoid downtime and time away from your job, life and the gym then I would seek out a certified CoolSculpting physician and see if CoolSculpting is right for you.
