Candidates for CoolSculpting® should be at or close to their ideal weight, as this is not a weight loss procedure, Dr. Tom Liu reveals. He notes that between four and six sessions, called “cycles,” typically will be required to achieve the desired level of fat reduction. Furthermore, he suggests that patience is necessary, as the process can take several months to complete. Individuals who desire faster, more dramatic results may wish to consider liposuction, he advises; however, CoolSculpting® may be right for people who prefer a minimally invasive non-surgical option.
Ultimately, the San Jose plastic surgeons believe that well-informed patients are happy with their results. Liu Plastic Surgery seeks to provide a helpful resource on all the available fat reduction methods to help individuals determine which one may be right for them. They add that individuals seeking to reduce fatty tissue from “trouble” areas may benefit from CoolSculpting® treatments, especially in the event that they prefer a non-invasive approach. They recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to establish candidacy for this procedure and to develop a customized treatment plan.
