Liposuction vs. Non-Surgical Body Contouring: What’s Right for Me?
When it comes to getting your dream body, you don’t have to rely solely on diet and exercise. In fact, there are plenty of treatments out there that can help you get a smaller waistline and a more toned body – even if you haven’t previously seen success through your healthy habits.
Both liposuction and non-surgical body contouring promise to help patients whittle away stubborn fat cells, not to mention body inches. But which treatment is right for you: liposuction or non-surgical body contouring?
Signs You May Need Liposuction Surgery
For many patients, liposuction surgery is still the best solution to get rid of unwanted fat. Liposuction is extremely targeted, which can help patients who have significant or noticeable fat around the abdomen, waist, buttocks, thighs, or even upper arms. With just a single liposuction surgery, patients can experience significant loss, leading to a surge in self-confidence.
You may be a good candidate for liposuction surgery if you need a little more help than what non-surgical body contouring can provide, or if you don’t want to deal with multiple treatment sessions to see an improvement. Total recovery takes about three to four weeks, with final results visible after six to eight weeks.
Candidates for EmSculpt Treatments
Not interested in liposuction surgery, or don’t think you’d make a candidate? Then you might be a good candidate for EmSculpt.
Here’s how it works: EmSculpt uses patented technology to emit energy waves that penetrate even the deepest dermal tissue.
The energy from EmSculpt treatments can penetrate the abdominal or buttock muscles and cause them to contract up to 20,000 times per minute. These rapid contractions help build muscle. This may lead to a stronger core. Our patients who golf, dance, are bodybuilders or engage in any core-related activity and who wish to improve their core strength, then Emsculpt may be their answer!
I am a 43 year old woman who has always worked out several days a week and stayed in pretty good shape, but over the past few years my same workouts aren’t doing the job anymore. I started noticing my booty drooping, despite the running and squats. After the second of 4 Emsculpt treatments, I noticed that simple things like going up the stairs, jumping in my workouts and even getting up on a snowboard seemed all of a sudden much easier. Like there was in spring inside me! My gluts felt much stronger in general and I started to be more aware of which exercises were targeting those muscles when I was working out. I am now able to maximize my same workouts by slowing down my movements and focusing on my gluts while doing a number of exercises to keep the benefits of this procedure going. I wasn’t embarrassed to get in a bikini over spring break, and that was the goal!
