Last summer I had gone to two consultations and received conflicting advice. (One suggested a mini tummy tuck, because I have a significant amount of hanging skin that I'd need to loose and the other said that I'd be fine with lipo and appear to have excellent elasticity in my skin. (I've always struggled w/ weight, exercise 2-4 times a week and actually eat pretty well for the most part. 5'6 180lbs I'm not trying to look great in a bikini, but just to feel comfortable in my own skin.)

Answer: Lower back and belly fat with Coolsculpting If you're looking to look better in your clothes then coolsculpting can definitely give you what you are looking for. Depending on your age and skin inelasticity, yes, you could have extra skin after the treatment though coolsculpting does provide some skin tightening. I tell patients that if you just want your clothes fit better and look better in the mirror with a dress on, then coolsculpting is fine. If you are planning on entering a bikini contest or want to show off your mid section on the beach, then a tummy tuck is probably the way to go.

Answer: CS or SL Hi. Thanks for the question. You would be a candidate for either CoolSculpting or SmartLipo. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, so you need an in-person evaluation to go over these differences. In general, SL gets you results faster, especially if you have alot to get done. But CS gives great results also, if you have the time to do multiple sessions and don't mind waiting for your results. In your case you'd have to treat each area at least 2 times, and maybe 3.Best of luck.Michael Kerin MDKerin MedSpa & Laser Center
