There are several non surgical options for fat removal with todays leading edge technologies. The first is Coolsculpting which utilizes a handpiece that is applied to the area to be contoured and freezes the underlying fat cells. Once the fat cells are frozen, they die and are absorbed. This noticeably reduces the contour of the treated area. Typically, the area is reduced by 25% with a single treatment. It is possible to have multiple treatments in an area. Another option is Kybella, which is an injectable treatment to reduce fat. The area to be treated is injected with small amount of Kybella. This does require multiple injections at the treatment site. Recovery generally takes one week and is primarily related to swelling. Kybella often requires multiple treatments. Choosing the ideal procedure is based on the area to be treated and the specifics of the patients physical exam. It is essential to have a consultation with a highly experienced provider so that the correct recommendation can be made.
