I'm in my 30s, I do Pilates and ride a stationary bike, I eat healthy, but I still have more belly fat than I would like. Of Emsculpt, CoolScuplting, and Liposuction, what would give me the best (lasting) results to look my best in a bikini? What are the differences between my treatment options? I was considering liposuction but I'm worried about the scars.
Answer: Emsulpt versus CoolSculpting Hello MinnieJP. First I want to congratulate you on your great effort to stay healthy and take care of your body. It does appear that you have some small pockets of subcutaneous fat in your abdomen. You are correct, these pockets are not likely to go away with diet an exercise. At Monroe Comprehensive Laser Center in Monroe, Mi, we would definitely suggest Coolsculpting for you. There is no down time. Treatments can be done in as little as 35 min to as long as a couple of hours depending on how much you wanted to address at the time. Bruising and discomfort if any, are usually very minimal. Bonus! No scarring either! Good Luck and keep up the good work! Here is some more information about Coolsculpting from our office.

Answer: Fat reduction options Hi,Based on your photos, you may be a candidate for all three options. Coolsculpt is great because it is non invasive, so you do not have to worry about downtime or potential scarring (vs lipo). Emsculpt is another good option too. It will not destroy as many fat cells as Coolsculpt (or lipo), however, it has the added benefit of muscle stimulation for optimal abdomen definition. Coolsculpt combined with Emsculpt may be the best fit for you! This synergistic approach will give you both fat reduction and definition all in one, without surgery or downtime. I suggest consulting with a local service provider who offers both technologies. They will set you up with the best treatment plan to fit your needs. Good luck.

Answer: Best Option For Fat Reduction Thank you for your question and pictures. If you are looking for a dramatic improvement with fat reduction in a single session then Liposuction would be the most appropriate choice. This will come with scars and downtime. If you are looking for a non-surgical way to reduce fat and tone up your abs at the same time then EMSculpt would be the best choice. If you are looking for spot fat reduction then CoolSculpting would be appropriate. Of course you will need an in-person consultation and examination to truly determine which treatment would be best for you. Looking at your pictures alone I think EMSculpt would be the best choice for you. Make sure you see an experienced physician provider. Hope this helps!

Answer: Removing belly fat It looks like you would benefit from either tumescent liposuction, laser lipo, or CoolSculpting. Any of those fat-elimination techniques can remove the bulge around your abdomen. Liposuction procedures are faster, but require some recovery time. There’s no downtime with CoolSculpting, but you’ll need at least three treatments. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will help you decide which body-contouring technique works best with your lifestyle.

Answer: Coolsculpting Candidate--Getting Great Results with Coolsculpting--Add Vanquish for Fire And Ice Treatment I recommend a formal evaluation by a cosmetic surgeon. For best results with Coolsculpting, I recommend a combination approach. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative. Best, Dr. Emer
