Liposuction and CoolSculpting are both effective fat elimination methods. Liposuction surgery breaks up and removes fat with tiny incisions and a cannula. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment that eliminates up to 25% of fat per treatment. Each treatment has its own benefits. CoolSculpting can be considered the non-invasive alternative to liposuction. Some patients will be good candidates for liposuction, but most can achieve their desired results with CoolSculpting and not have to go through the recovery period that is necessary following liposuction. Whether a person receives CoolSculpting or Liposuction depends on their preference and the needs of their unique case.
