- First of all, it is important to realize Coolsculpting will not replace liposuction.
- While it is clear and undeniable that the Coolsculpting procedure is effective in the permanent reduction of fat, the reduction is more moderate than can be achieved through a well-done liposuction or tummy tuck procedure (meaning one done by a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery who knows what they're doing).
- The outcome really does take a few weeks (6-7 weeks) to develop. Most patients are underwhelmed by the improvement until this much time passes- then they're happy!
- Because each application of the device kills 20-25% of the fat cells in the area, improvement is real, but in order to achieve your desired improvement (which may require reduction of more than 25%), more than a single treatment may be necessary (depending on your anatomy and your goals). The more fat you have, the less reasonable it is to expect that you will achieve your goal after a single treatment.
- There really is NO downtime. We're all tired of doctors promising us a painless procedure and no downtime, right? In almost all cases, it's simply not true, and makes me wanna vomit... But I have been very impressed with the completely smooth post-treatment experience my patients have had. Everyone has returned to their lifestyle immediately after the treatment, without need for garments, restrictions, limitations, or medication. Very cool (pun intended).
- Achieving the best results with Coolsculpting requires a firm knowledge of anatomy and sound body contouring principles. Please see a qualified plastic surgeon for this procedure if looking your best is important.
