Do You Need Lipo or Non-Invasive CoolSculpting?
Abilene, Tx

by

Which body sculpting treatment is best for you, CoolSculpting or liposuction?Sometimes, patients come to us with a definite treatment in mind, like CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction, only to discover during their personal consultation that what they really want is something they never even considered before—like liposuction.

We love CoolSculpting because it helps people reduce unwanted fat bulges without invasive measures like surgery or downtime. But we also love liposuction. Here’s a closer look at these two popular fat reduction treatments, and how they may fit into your lifestyle.

Both CoolSculpting and lipo:
•Tackle “pinch-an-inch” fat.
Pinchable, pliable pockets of fat are called subcutaneous fat, and both CoolSculpting and liposuction are designed to reduce this type of fat in particular. The fat that these treatments cannot budge is called visceral fat, the internal fat that wraps around your organs in your belly. The only way to reduce visceral fat is through diet and exercise.

Now, for the differences:
•CoolSculpting affords gradual results (up to 3 months following your treatment), while lipo offers immediate fat reduction with continued contour improvements as your body heals and any swelling subsides.
•CoolSculpting involves little to no downtime, whereas liposuction may involve a week of rest at home while wearing a compression garment and avoiding heaving lifting and exercise for at least 6 weeks.
•Liposuction affords more control over your contours, allowing the surgeon to remove specific areas of fat, whereas CoolSculpting targets a more generalized area of fat, albeit in a targeted treatment area

What you need to know:
If you are determined to experience little to no downtime and want results that appear gradually over a period of weeks or months, CoolSculpting may be the ideal choice for you.
If you are seeking more immediate fat reduction with more dramatic results, liposuction is probably the right choice for you.

We can’t wait to help you determine the optimal treatment for your needs during your one-on-one consultation! Please call 325.670.5320 or request a personal consultation online today.

Give Dad the gift he wants!Looking for a gift that keeps on giving? Look no further because we’ve got the ultimate Father’s Day gift—CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction! This award-winning fat reduction treatment will help Dad slim down his “spare tire” or other “problem spot” so he can look and feel his absolute best. Help Dad fight flab by taking a closer look at the science behind CoolSculpting’s revolutionary technology.

What he probably doesn’t know about his “problem spots”:
1. It’s not ALL his fault!
Certain areas of the body are notorious for holding onto stubborn fat despite our best efforts to control them. We all know these “trouble areas” well, from a double chin to back fat, the list is endless. Can Dad pinch an inch? That’s subcutaneous fat, the type of fat CoolSculpting was invented specifically to tame! Subcutaneous fat is easy to spot because it’s pinchable and pliable between your fingers. It’s also super stubborn and impossible to budge. In other words, Dad can diet like crazy and work out like a fiend, but his subcutaneous fat bulges will more than likely stick around, which is where CoolSculpting comes in to save the day!

2. Dad doesn’t have to fight a losing battle!
There’s a reason CoolSculpting keeps winning awards and remains the world’s most popular fat reduction treatment. It actually does what it says it’s going to do. So if Dad likes the idea of slimming and trimming his tub, there’s a non-invasive solution waiting for him at our medical spa. It’s called CoolSculpting, an FDA-cleared, safe and effective fat reduction treatment with zero downtime.

Help Dad get his groove back with CoolSculpting in Abilene this year! To learn more, please call 325.670.5320, stop in to purchase a gift certificate, or request a consultation online today!

•Mommy Makeover, a combination procedure that typically pairs breast augmentation with a tummy tuck in one convenient treatment. But Mommy Makeovers can include any type of cosmetic surgery you desire. We’ll tailor your treatment to your exact needs.
•Labiaplasty. Many women dread swimsuit season because they are afraid that their long labial skin will be obvious. They may also experience discomfort in their tightly fitted swimsuit, due to chafing. A simple surgery can help correct this concern.
