Before undergoing a body transformation, it is important to consider all options available. For patients who consider their abdominal area their target area for a body makeover, there are several procedures available to them. For those that don’t want the downtime of surgery, CoolSculpting can be an excellent non-invasive option. The CoolSculpting procedure uses controlled cooling to target fat in typical "problem areas" of the body. Because CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, there is no downtime, no anesthesia, and no incisions or scarring. This type of procedure is great for patients with isolated areas of pinchable fat in areas often stubborn to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, back rolls, flanks, inner and outer thigh, and under the chin to name a few. Determining which procedure is right for you depends on your anatomy and overall goals. At a consultation appointment, the board-certified plastic surgeons at Silicon Valley Institute for Aesthetics and designated staff can help you decide which procedure is best for you!
