CoolSculpting® Elite

If you want to remove unwanted fat from around your belly, thighs, waist, back or other problem areas, and you do not want to undergo a traditional liposuction surgery, CoolSculpting may be the right option for you. The best CoolSculpting candidates are men and women in relatively good shape who exercise regularly or semi-regularly and are having difficulty eliminating modest fatty areas. CoolSculpting is not an effective treatment for obesity and is not a replacement for a healthy diet and exercise. CoolSculpting candidates must be in good health and have no pre-existing medical conditions that could create complications.

Despite having a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and a reasonable amount of exercise, some people still struggle with disproportionate body contours created by localized fat deposits. Sometimes these areas are the result of genetics or aging, as opposed to overeating and a lack of exercise.

When choosing a cosmetic doctor to perform CoolSculpting treatments, there are three important qualifications to consider: training, experience, and personal attention.

Dr. Hajjar was one of the first doctors to provide CoolSculpting in the area, and he continues to be one of the most sought after doctors to perform the treatment. All of our Detroit Plastic Surgery doctors have years of experience performing CoolSculpting treatments and spend the necessary time with every patient to answer any questions and address any concerns about the CoolSculpting process. We make it a priority to ensure our patients are well-informed and completely comfortable with their decisions. We know that your time is valuable, which is why we maintain an efficient treatment calendar and use the latest techniques and technology to minimize your recovery time and maximize your results.

Insurance companies commonly do not cover an elective or cosmetic treatment like CoolSculpting unless it is performed to correct a medical or health condition. If you plan to use insurance as payment, we strongly suggest consulting with your provider to discuss if the treatment is covered in part or in full by your current plan.

Unlike surgical fat removal, CoolSculpting is non-invasive, thus eliminating the possibility of scarring or any other signs that a treatment was performed. Results are soft, natural and improve over time, so you don’t have the instant, dramatic change that you would have with a surgical procedure. While results vary based on the individual, we focus on creating the most natural results possible. During your consultation, your doctor will thoroughly explain what results to expect.

The longevity of results varies and is dependent on the amount of excess fat, the laxity of the skin and skin type. Typically, you can expect CoolSculpting results to last as long as you maintain your weight and a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise.

CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared for the flanks (love handles) and abdomen and is proven to be a safe and effective treatment with minimal risks. Side effects are rare and may include redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness to the touch, cramping, itching, tingling or numbness. We are happy to explain in detail any of the risks and possible side effects prior to your treatment. We carefully review your complete medical history and all medications you are on to prevent any complications.

Yes, your Detroit Plastic Surgery doctor can recommend additional services to enhance your desired results such as Exilis or VelaShape treatments. Detroit Plastic Surgery also offers the option of combining your CoolSculpting treatment with a laser skin resurfacing treatment, which promotes collagen growth under the skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
