San Antonio Cosmetic SurgeryShape Up for Spring with CoolSculpting

Spring break is right around the corner and if you're having a hard time working off those stubborn inches after the holidays, talk to Dr. Ortegon about the CoolSculpting procedure. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat removal procedure that can help to smooth out those contours and get rid of those unsightly bulges in problem areas for good. If you really want to be in pool and beach-ready shape this upcoming season, CoolSculpting may be the perfect procedure for helping you get the results you want.

How CoolSculpting Works

Many patients who are at a healthy weight are troubled by a few problem areas, such as extra fat around the waistline, stubborn fat around the hips and thighs, and a layer of fat on the abdomen. If you are dealing with similar problems, you may have already discovered that these areas have become resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is a solution for some, but in many cases, body contouring surgery may not be necessary —CoolSculpting works from the outside to freeze the fat cells in the target area until they crystallize. This is done with a process known as cryolipolysis and has proven to be a very effective way to eliminate fat cells from certain parts of the body without surgery.

To perform this procedure, we simply place a small, handheld device over the fatty tissue and initiate the freezing process. It is a painless procedure and our patients can just relax, listen to music, or read a book while they are getting the treatment. You can expect to see results after several weeks as the fat cells are eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system.

Shaping Up for the Season with CoolSculpting

Now is a great time to schedule your CoolSculpting procedure because you can expect to see full results come spring and summer. The procedure can reduce up to 25 percent of fat cells per treatment so, some patients may need to undergo a series of treatments to get the full results they want. We can discuss your goals and put together a treatment plan that will help you get the body you want just in time for spring.
