We’re fortunate to have nonsurgical alternatives to liposuction surgery. CoolSculpting is one of the most popular and well-known body sculpting procedures. As such, many people do choose to go that route. The question isn’t whether or not CoolSculpting is better, though. Liposuction and CoolSculpting both achieve clinically significant results and both have a high safety rating. The primary difference is the aggressiveness of results.

Undergoing neck liposuction, you can expect some soreness, swelling, and bruising that lasts up to one week. Usually, after that point, the surgical side effects are sufficiently resolved to return to work and light activities. You may have minor swelling that lingers for up to a few months, but this is so subtle that it doesn’t detract from your cosmetic improvements. If you receive CoolSculpting, you might experience some tingling, soreness, tenderness, and mild swelling. Your double-chin will gradually subside as your body metabolizes the unwanted fat cells. Also, you may need to return to the office for one or more subsequent treatments to fully eliminate submental fullness. You don’t need to take time off work or other activities with CoolSculpting but you will need to be a bit more patient as you anticipate your rewarding cosmetic improvements.
