Which Suits You Best: CoolSculpting® or Liposuction?

For our patients in Atlanta who don’t want or need liposuction , CoolSculpting may be an option. But some people may get better results and satisfaction with liposuction than the less invasive CoolSculpting treatment. Here are some guidelines to help you figure out which will work best for you:

Liposuction CoolSculpting
Best for: Full body sculpting; contouring larger areas; delicate, precise refinements Removing a few inches from your waistline; subtle fat reduction results
Downtime: About 1 week No downtime
Anesthesia: Yes No
Results: Significant, more comprehensive Noticeable

It is best to make this decision with the guidance of a board-certified plastic surgeon, not simply a board-certified surgeon or other physician. A board-certified plastic surgeon will have the knowledge and experience to effectively evaluate your needs and recommend the best course of treatment for you.
