Freeze away your excess fat without downtime!
Although we see a variety of liposuction patients at Atlanta Plastic Surgery, we also see many patients who are interested in fat reduction even though the amount of unwanted fat they desire to have removed really isn’t enough to require the traditional surgical procedure. This type of patient is typically in good health and close to their ideal weight with small pockets of excess fat that won’t respond to diet and/or exercise. Now, these patients can benefit from our newest technology CoolSculpting®.
CoolSculpting® uses a process known as cryolipolysis to apply cold externally to areas of unwanted fat to freeze the fat cells without damaging the skin. The cold temperature causes the fat within cells to disperse, and then the body’s natural processes take over and dispel the fat through the lymphatic system over the months following treatment. Many patients start to see fat reduction results within three weeks of their treatment with more noticeable results after two months and full results after four to six months following treatment. While a single CoolSculpting® treatment will help eliminate 20%-40% of unwanted fat, many patients have an additional treatment in order to maximize their results.
It’s important to understand that CoolSculpting® fat reduction is reserved for a very specific candidate as the treatment works best on very small pockets of unwanted fat. Patients with small amounts of excess fat can have CoolSculpting® of the abdomen, thighs, knees, arms, back, flanks, love handles, and saddlebags. CoolSculpting® treatment is available through our medical spa, AYA. Schedule a consultation to determine whether or not you are an appropriate CoolSculpting® candidate, or if you are a more suitable patient for a liposuction procedure with one of our plastic surgeons.
