There are several new procedures advertised as nonsurgical alternatives to liposuction, such as CoolSculpting, Smartlipo, and others. These procedures are all fairly new, and therefore many of them have not undergone thorough long-term testing. If you research reviews of any of these liposuction alternatives, you will notice that feedback is hit or miss. Some people seem to swear by them, while others claim there were no results. Liposuction, on the other hand, has been through decades of testing and has a proven track record of impressive, long-lasting results.
