Non-invasive Body Contouring Alternatives

Patients often ask plastic surgeons if there is a way to get the results of liposuction without surgery. Many people long for the instantly-slimming results of liposuction, but are afraid to undergo a surgical procedure, which can be expensive and entails anesthesia, surgical risks, and a period of recovery. Fortunately, substantial progress in the field of body contouring has allowed for new, non-surgical liposuction procedures that offer outstanding results. For patients interested in non-invasive body contouring, doctors have developed a number of liposuction alternatives, including Lipodissolve™, mesotherapy, and Thermage®.

Non-surgical Liposuction Alternatives

Advances in the field of non-invasive body contouring have enabled doctors to offer a range of non-surgical liposuction alternatives. Browse this page to learn about the most popular methods used to give patients the results of liposuction without the surgery.

Lipodissolve™

The latest advance in non-surgical liposuction alternatives, Lipodissolve™ involves the injection of mild medications and enzymes into areas with unwanted fat. These chemicals cause the fat to dissolve, and it is flushed from the system through the patient’s urine. Though similar to mesotherapy, Lipodissolve™ is a more popular non-invasive body contouring technique in the United States because it uses different medications and offers a faster recovery time. Lipodissolve™ is effective for toning the face (especially the chin and neck area), as well as all parts of the body, and can also be beneficial in the reduction of cellulite.

Mesotherapy

In Europe and South America, mesotherapy has long been a popular way to get the results of liposuction without surgery while also reducing cellulite. During mesotherapy, doctors use tiny injections of amino acids, medications, and holistic compounds to dissolve fatty tissue. Because the needles used in mesotherapy are so small, the procedure is virtually painless, and some patients see results after only one session. Visit our mesotherapy pages to learn more about this non-surgical liposuction alternative.

Thermage®

Thermage® is probably the most non-invasive body contouring option offered by plastic surgeons. This technique literally melts unwanted fat with the use of a heated laser that causes the patient’s collagen to tighten. Thermage® is effective for tightening the skin on the face as well as other areas of the body, and is frequently used as a non-surgical alternative to the popular face lift procedure. For patients looking to achieve the results of liposuction without surgery, Thermage® is an effective, pain-free option.
