Which Procedure Would Work Better for the "Spare Tire", Coolsculpting or Smartlipo?

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.

Think of Coolsculpting as liposuction lite.  The patient who is a good candidate for lipo will be a good candidate for Coolsculpting as well.  Any lip procedure, whether conventional, power, smart lipo, or ultrasonic will by definition be more aggressive than Coolsculpting as it is a surgical invasive procedure.  If you are comfortable with a more subtle improvement without surgery go for Coolsculpting, if you want one treatment and are ok with surgeryE dn recovery go for lipo.
