At Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery, we have been a part of the evolution of plastic surgery during the past several years. One of the biggest changes is the sheer number of procedures targeting excess fat. Just about every patient who meets with Dr. Austin knows that they have more options than just liposuction when it comes to choosing a procedure to target unwanted fat that remains resistant to diet and exercise. Yet it is still difficult to keep track of the wide range of options and even more difficult to know which option is right for you.
For that reason, we decided to focus on a procedure Dr. Austin regularly recommends: CoolSculpting®.
What is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is one of the most high-tech and innovative non-surgical procedures available for fat loss and might be the right choice for you if you are plagued by stubborn fat.
If you told people living in the 1960’s that they could have their fat cells frozen and gone for good, they might think you were a time traveler from a distant future. Nonetheless, CoolSculpting® is a real procedure that eliminates the need for costly surgery, long recovery times, and unsightly scars.
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical procedure that kills fat cells using an applicator that delivers cool blasts to targeted areas. CoolSculpting® utilizes controlled cooling to shrink and destroy fat cells. Once they are destroyed, they are gone for good (even if you gain a bit of weight). Although the results are not immediately noticeable, over a few weeks, you will have a noticeably thinner figure.
Is CoolSculpting® Right For Me?
Dr. Austin likes to say that CoolSculpting® is a tool in your weight loss arsenal. Much like diet and exercise, CoolSculpting® is one of many factors that can help you achieve the figure of your dreams. CoolSculpting® is best for patients who are within 10 percent of their ideal body weight. It is meant to target stubborn pockets of fat rather than dramatically reduce your weight. Therefore, CoolSculpting® is best for patients who are near or at their ideal body weight but suffer from fat that remains resistant to their best efforts.
If you think CoolSculpting® or another fat-reduction procedure might be right for you, do not hesitate! Call Dr. Austin at Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery to schedule a consultation. We serve residents of Augusta, GA, and Evans, GA.
