liposuction vs fat freezing

Both Liposuction and fat freezing are fat reduction treatments for body contouring. However, they are completely different as one requires surgery and the other doesn't.

In this article, we will explain how liposuction and fat freezing work and show you a comparison between the two. This will help you better evaluate which is more suitable for you.

How Does Fat Freeze Work?

science behind fat freezing

The way fat-freezing treatments work is quite simple. As fatty tissues are more sensitive to cold temperatures compared to other cells, the freezing temperature would destroy fat cells without harming other cells.

A membrane is laid on the areas with excess fat deposits and the fat freeze machine uses an applicator to freeze the body fat. The intense cold temperature will kill targeted fat cells. The broken down fat cells then get flushed out of your system in standard natural ways, leaving you with a slimmer body.

How Does Liposuction Work?

In contrast, liposuction is a cosmetic surge procedure used to remove stubborn fats from the body. The surgery is performed by making a small incision in the skin and using a suction device to remove the fat and an invasive surgical procedure that involves cutting and stitching. The surgical team may use local anesthesia, such as lidocaine, or they may sedate you with general anesthesia.

A plastic surgeon makes small incisions with a scalpel around the areas being treated. They then use a long, narrow tool called a cannula to loosen fat cells. A vacuum attached to the cannula sucks the dislodged fat cells out of your body.

How are they similar?

Both liposuction and fat freezing work to remove unwanted fat and permanently remove fat cells in the treated area. As a result, you will experience weight loss after either procedure.

Both procedures target a wide array of areas on the body, such as the waist, belly, hips, outer thighs, inner thighs, chin, and neck.

They remove excess subcutaneous fat which is the fats underneath the layers of the skin. These are the fats that accumulate when you start gaining weight.

So what's the bottom line?

Although fat freezing and liposuction are both popular body contouring procedures, they have some major differences. Fat freezing is non-invasive, meaning there is no downtime or recovery period required. Liposuction, on the other hand, is an invasive surgery that comes with a significant amount of Recovery time needed. Even though liposuction provides faster results, it may not be the best option if you don't want to resume your life for a considerable amount of time.
