Hi, I am a 5'6" female about 125 lbs. I went to 2 cool sculpting providers who advised two different procedures to attack my abdomen fat. One recommende 4 smaller paddles (basically circling the belly button) and the other recommended one large paddle to attack my lower abdomen (mainly). What should I consider before choosing between the two? Or should I go to a third provider?

Answer: Coolsculpting treatment Thank you for your question.I would tailor your treatment based on your concerns.I do like treating around the belly button as this can help address the fullness below and above your belly button.I often recommend a more aggressive treatment where you can do two large applicators (left lower abdomen and right lower abdomen) followed by two small applicators around the mid/upper abdomen. The treatment recommendations would ultimately be based on a physical exam to ensure that you can get great results.With so many treatment providers out there, I would recommend you go to a plastic surgeon who has had the device for years (there is definitely a learning curve with the device), and who can offer different options for you to consider (e.g. liposuction/tummy tuck).

Answer: Hi Definition Liposuction Procedure for Smaller/Athletic Female Wanting Definition You would do very well with a hi definition procedure to "sculpt" and define your already beautiful stomach. Otherwise, Ultrashape and Velashape are the only options noninvasive that can give you some definition. I suggest only seeing a well trained expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: CoolSculpting Treatment Plan An accurate assessment of which applicators to use can only be made during an in-person evaluation at which time the amount and distribution of fat is directly examined. More than focusing on which applicators to use, I would make sure you look at before and after photos of actual patients treated by your provider to see what kind of results they have been getting. Based on your pictures alone, I would treat both your upper and lower abdomen for optimal results. Hope this helps answer your question.
