Tips for Choosing Between Liposuction and Non-Invasive Fat Reduction Treatments
Posted on August 23rd, 2016 by Dr. William Franckle
Before undergoing liposuction or non-invasive fat reduction treatments, it is imperative to get a crystal clear understanding of what they entail.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that helps remove excess fat cells to give patients a slimmer body contour. To achieve the expected results, the surgeon inserts a cannula in the fat deposits and extracts the fat cells. This method is effective in removing fat deposits around the abdomen, legs, face, arm, neck, and back.
What Are Non-Invasive Fat Reduction Procedures?
This is a non-surgical procedure that helps to get rid of fat cells using treatment techniques. It is an ideal choice for people who are almost at their target weight but still want to get rid of small remnants of fat deposits in some parts of the body such as thighs, hips, and the abdomen.
Which Is the Best Among the Two?
Non-invasive fat reduction treatments are gentle, and patients experience minimal discomfort, as they do not involve any surgeries. The risk with these type of procedures is that they are not always accurate. In fact, Dr. Franckle sees many patients who have had non-invasive procedures because they need revisions to their bodies that can only be done through tradition liposuction.
Because liposuction is an aggressive method of reducing fat, the surgeons are able to be more precise in the fat removal to help patients achieve the results they desire.
Verdict
Both cosmetic treatments have the ability to provide long lasting results, though traditional liposuction provides greater accuracy in the fat removal process. It is recommended to consult Dr. Franckle to make the right choice.
