Better Results for Love Handles, Coolsculpting or Liposuction?

The
decision to have CoolSculpting or liposuction usually depends on several
factors. Liposuction removes more fat than CoolSculpting, but it is an invasive
procedure that requires some time off to recover. CoolSculpting usually reduces
fat by about 20 to 25% in a single treatment, and because it is noninvasive, it
does not require any downtime. You can immediately return to work or other
daily activities. Another difference is how fast you want to see results.
CoolSculpting results emerge gradually as fat cells die and are removed from
the body. It can take about 4 months to see the final results. Liposuction
produces visible results once the swelling and bruising resolve within a couple
of weeks. Therefore, the decision is really up to you depending on your
priorities. There is no single "better" choice. Consult with a
board-certified plastic surgeon to fully explore the pros and cons of each
procedure to help you reach a final decision.

The truth is, both CoolSculpting and liposuction can be great for treating excess fat in this area. It all depends on the patient, what they hope to achieve, and what will work best for their body type while providing the lowest risk. For some patients that's non-invasive CoolSculpting, while others will have their goals better met with liposuction. The best way to know for sure is to have a consultation with a highly experienced, board certified plastic surgeon who has a significant familiarity with both liposuction and CoolSculpting.
