I am a skinny girl: should I get liposuction or more CoolSculpting treatments? (Photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a
better candidate for waistline contouring liposuction of your abdomen, flanks,
and lower back.  This can improve your overall shape with a
smaller waist.  Make sure you specifically
look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this
surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

    Liposuction will result in an effective one time treatment for that issue.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Liposuction under tumescent local with the micro canulas can really get rid of that pouch quickly and easily and safely without a lot of complications nor downtime.

Liposuction specially micro tumescent lipo sculpture performed by a surgeon with at least 15 years of experience will give you amazing results.  Avoid hypes such as laser, cool sculpt, smart, Vaser, etc.  go for Gold Standard and experienced surgeon. 

In general, for visible results and the most dramatic improvement, surgical treatments far surpass the capability of non-surgical at the present time.   This holds true in most cases, provided the surgery (liposuction) is well planned and performed by an ethical and skilled operator.  Surgical treatments remain more operator dependent and less technology dependent than non-surgical choices like Cool sculpting. You're not alone, Cool-sculpting has been a disappointing investment for many.

Thank you for your question and photos. Depends what is your goal: fat reduction vs body sculpting. The first will remove fat, the second, gives you an athletic, hourglass figure which projects health and youth. I use the VASER Hi Def liposuction technique to achieve the results which neither regular liposuction and certainly Coolsculpting will not give you. This requires treating your whole torso, sometimes the thighs. The arms have to be included to match the athletic body, otherwise you will look odd. Most prospective patients, like yourself, tend to concentrate on one or two areas and just spot treating those will not give you the optimum results. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Liposculpting is the most effective choice. It will remove the unwanted fat forever. You must have this performed by a specialist. Cool sculpting likely won't be satisfying since that has already failed as you stated. Come visit. It's worth it. 

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire abdomen, back and waist liposuction with BBL, this is because you have located fat that can be done with lipo.
Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine, please also look for a board certified plastic surgeon that helps to get what you are looking for, remember that your safety, always, must be first.

Good luck and have a great day!

Congratulations. You appear to be in fantastic shape. For those people who have persistent fat despite vigorous diet and exercise, liposuction is a great alternative. You are a particularly good candidate for liposuction because you have failed Coolsculpting.I would recommend that you have a Changes Rapid Liposuction procedure performed. This can be performed under local anesthesia. If you would like to tighten your skin at the same time, BodyTite can be performed. This is an internal radiofrequency treatment which causes your skin to shrink and tighten thus giving further flattening to the abdomen.

Hi and thanks for the question. In review of your photos, I think you are a good candidate for Sculpsure - it is very similar to Coolsculpt, but I find that the results are better - and I speak from a point of experience, given that I have both devices in my practice. You can certainly do Vaser-assisted micro-lipo for that  area as well. Lastly, you may want to consider Kybella injections in this area, which, although it is off-label, should give you an excellent result ( and will like require 2-3 treatments).
Best of luck,
