Nonsurgical Body Contouring is also known as nonsurgical or non-invasive body fat reduction. Thus, non-invasive body contouring describes non-surgical procedures that do not remove any tissue (fat or skin) from the body. Non-surgical treatments give you a less dramatic change and destroy the amount of fat you can pinch, called cutaneous fat.
A Surgical Body Contouring Procedure can include panniculectomy (removal of excess skin in the lower abdominal region), and or abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). As well as liposuction and excisional body lifts, such as a lower body lift, arm lift (Brachioplasty), inner thigh lift or buttock augmentation.
Although research is still limited, CoolSculpting is generally viewed as a safer, non-invasive type of fat reduction surgery than traditional procedures, such as liposuction. Most people do not feel anything during the procedure. Aside from a tugging sensation where the skin is between the device's two cooling panels.
Body contouring, body shaping or body sculpting is the reshaping of body contours through the removal of fatty deposits under the skin. Whereby, the most commonly known treatment is liposuction. A surgical procedure with inherent risks that many patients wish to avoid.
