CoolSculpting vs Liposuction for Improving Body Contours

Everyone who has battled with weight gain knows that there comes a point where spandex, jackets, and other pieces of clothing can no longer hide bulging love handles.

When a person reaches that point, and especially if they have been trying diet and exercise, liposuction and CoolSculpting® both look like effective options. But a person might ask themselves, between the two options, which one produces better results?

Understanding Liposuction

Liposuction Sacramento is a procedure where a surgeon will use a small tube called a cannula to suck fat out of a person’s body. Prior to the procedure, small incisions may be made around the area that is going to be worked on.

The fat will be broken up and suctioned out. The surgeon will constantly check to make sure that the right amount of fat is being removed. The success of liposuction can be seen by the fact that it is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States.

Understanding CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting® Sacramento is a noninvasive fat removal procedure. It involves freezing away excessive fat. The concept of this treatment was pioneered by a Harvard dermatologist. Research showed that if selected fat cells were frozen, the fat cells would reduce in size by 20- 25 percent.

Liposuction versus CoolSculpting®

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure performed in the United States for a reason. When compared to CoolSculpting®, it is a more aggressive way to encourage fat reduction.

It leaves people with a more contoured look. The results are immediate. And it allows people to perform simultaneous cosmetic surgeries at the same time.

However, CoolSculpting® is also popular for a reason: it is noninvasive. An individual who undergoes the procedure has minimal downtime.

This treatment is an ideal option for those who want to lose weight, but do not want to go under the knife.

While liposuction poses possible risks associated with surgery, its results are a lot more dramatic than those produced with CoolSculpting®.
