See a Slimmer You By Drs. Petrosky, Musarra, Harkins & Leake Summer is here, shorts and short sleeves are your attire, and your bathing suit is on underneath. But are you avoiding each mirror you walk past? Liposuction or CoolSculpting could be the solution for you. What is the difference? Liposuction is a surgical procedure that slims and reshapes specific area of the body by removing excess fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. We can treat the chin, neck, cheeks, upper arms, back, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves, and ankles. The best candidates are in good health, with firm, elastic skin. You will wear a surgical compression garment after your surgery. In most cases, patients return to work
after a few days and then are cleared for all normal activities after about 3 weeks. CoolSculpting, on the other hand, is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment, using controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat. No needles, no surgery, and no downtime, anesthesia, or incisions. The procedure is effective on many of the same body parts as liposuction – particularly around the mid-section, back, flanks and thighs – and patients love the easy treatment process. The procedure takes only 1 hour and you can return to your normal activities immediately. Although results aren’t as extensive as with liposuction, CoolSculpting is perfect for certain candidates.
Before embarking on this process, it is critical to find an experienced board certified plastic surgeon that has the skill and aesthetic eye to turn your goals into reality. Talk to your friends and family, do some research online and finally, schedule consultations to ensure you select a qualified specialist to get the best possible results. We invite you to explore these options to see a slimmer you in no time. Drs. Petrosky, Musarra and Leake are board-certified plastic surgeons at Plastic Surgery Center of the South. 770-421-1242, PlasticSurgery CenterOf TheSouth.net
