Abdominal Liposuction Vs. Tummy Tuck Vs. Coolsculpting®: How Do They Compare?

Abdominal liposuction or abdominal fat removal surgery, tummy tucks, and CoolSculpting^® are three types of treatments used for belly fat removal. All of these options can remove excess fat specifically from the stomach area.

One of the major differences between tummy tucks and abdominal liposuction is that the former procedure can also involve tightening or removing skin, as well as stabilizing weakened abdominal muscles, whereas liposuction can only reduce pockets of excess fat. Although these procedures can each be done separately, liposuction and tummy tuck surgery are often combined, so that plastic surgeons can tighten or remove loose skin while also reducing excess fat at the same time.

There are also certain treatments that allow you to have belly fat removal without surgery, such as CoolSculpting^®, a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled cooling to target fat cells. The excess fat is broken down after being crystallized, and the surrounding cells are not affected. Both CoolSculpting^® and liposuction cause fat cells to be removed for good. No anesthesia or surgery are involved in CoolSculpting^®. On the other hand, liposuction is a surgical procedure that takes longer and requires the use of anesthesia. However, abdominal liposuction can remove a larger amount of fat and provide more dramatic results than CoolSculpting^®.
