CoolLipo

CoolLipo is an advanced form of laser liposuction that allows surgeons to remove pockets of fat from specific areas of the body while also tightening surrounding skin. The laser and wavelength technology breaks up and thins out fat so it can be easily removed from the body; the liposuction treatment it also targets water and contracts collagen to keep your skin firm.

Who Are the Best Candidates?

The CoolLipo system makes it easier for plastic surgeons to treat areas affected by skin laxity and those that are hard to reach with traditional liposuction. CoolLipo can treat:

• Excess fat in the chin, neck, and jowls
• Areas with extra skin, including the arms, abdomen, and neck
• Small pockets of fat

Risks and Recovery

The CoolLipo treatment is generally performed under local anesthesia, and the entire procedure typically takes less than one hour to complete. Most patients return to work, school, and other activities the day after treatment. Patients can wear a compression garment for two to three days following surgery to protect the treatment area and promote healing. In the majority of cases, patients experience mild bruising, swelling, and other side effects.

The fat sculpting and skin tightening results of CoolLipo treatment are visible immediately after treatment. However, the best results may not be seen until a few months after the procedure once all the swelling has gone down.

Cost

The CoolLipo procedure generally costs between $3,500 and $8,000. The cost varies based on the area of the body that is being treated. Areas such as the neck, jowls, and chin are usually less expensive than bigger treatment areas such as the abdomen.
