I weight train 5 x week and get in 30 mins of steady state cardio every day. I've tried many different methods of losing fat: 1. Progressively altering calorie & carb intake 2. HIIT/LISS 3. Coolsculpting. I've had 2 sessions & they both failed. Both times my body fat % only changed by 2-4%. Basically, I seem to lose fat in every part of my body except in my abdominal region. I'm currently standing at 21% body fat. My lowest has been 17%. Even then the abdominal fat remains (belly pooch).

Answer: Coolsculpting or liposuction (photo) 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.

Answer: I am a skinny girl: should I get liposuction or more Coolsculpting treatments? 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.
