Have no interest in undergoing full liposuction surgery procedure. The cost, pain, recovery etc are not appealing. i read about lots of lipo alternatives that dont require so much of investment in money and risk. Can someone explain these, pros/cons.

Answer: Are there any liposuction alternative procedures that actually work? Excellent question! The honest answer is there is no real alternative to Liposuction. Losing weight and working out is a good alternative but it can't sculpt and shape the body like liposuction and a bbl does. Nothing delivers the results that liposuction delivers. Other procedures, techniques or machines are mostly gimmicks. They either provide the patient with minimal results or they do not work at all. They might be enticing because they promise a lot... they seemingly do not require so much of an investment in money and are low risk, but in reality, are not be worth the time and money for the results they offer. So, if you are not ready for liposuction just yet, I feel you should keep doing your research and wait until you are. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: Are there any liposuction alternative procedures? There are a number of alternatives to liposuction although results can vary and also depends on which body areas one is trying to improve. Liposuction is still by far the most effective way short of significant dieting to reduce the amount of fat under the skin in certain body areas and change your contour. For very small areas such as a small amount of fat under the chin in select individuals there is an injectable solution called Kybella that can help although certainly not as effective as liposuction. There are also two reasonable devices on the market that cause thermolysis of fatty cells which can help. One is called CoolSculpt which involves freezing the fat cells and the other is called SculpSure which warms up fat cells causing the fat cells to disappear. Both of these treatments are relatively simple and about equally effective. They do however only remove a small amount of fat which is great if you have just a small amount present. Complications are fewer with SculpSure. It would be in your interest to have a very balanced discussion on the pros and cons of the various alternatives. Other more invasive alternatives such as abdominoplasty involve directly removing skin and fat.

Answer: Liposuction alternative Thank you for your question. Although, liposuction is strongly recommended, there is an alternative called coolsculpting which is still somewhat painful. Hope this information helps.
