Orange County Plastic Surgeon Offers Non-Surgical Alternative to Liposuction for Fat Reduction

NEWPORT BEACH, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 24, 2013) - Recently, Dr. Semira Bayati introduced a new cosmetic enhancement technology to her Orange County plastic surgery practice. Its name is CoolSculpting®, and Dr. Bayati says it has been instrumental in helping her patients gradually shed excess fat without having to undergo a surgical procedure. CoolSculpting® is designed to eliminate fat cells in targeted areas of the body without the downtime often associated with surgical procedures such as liposuction. Dr. Bayati says many people work hard to lose weight, but have found that diet and exercise are sometimes not enough. She notes that CoolSculpting® helps to reduce fat in stubborn areas without surgery or scarring.

Using an advanced fat reduction technique called Cryolipolysis™, Dr. Bayati explains that CoolSculpting® is designed to target and break down fat cells in the treatment areas using a method of controlled cooling, leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. She says the excess fat cells are ultimately destroyed, and then slowly disposed of through the body's natural filtering processes. This should lead to a gradual reduction of fat in the treated area. According to Dr. Bayati, final results are usually achieved within two to four months, as the fat cells are filtered out by the body. Designed to treat several troublesome areas, including the flanks ("love handles"), upper and lower abdomen, and inner thighs, Dr. Bayati says CoolSculpting® can provide her patients with an effective non-surgical alternative to liposuction.

Although results may not be immediately evident, Dr. Bayati says her patients appreciate that the procedure itself is fairly brief, and that there is usually no downtime necessary. Treatment sessions generally take about 1-2 hours, and patients are typically able to return to their daily activities immediately afterwards. During treatment, Dr. Bayati says her patients often are able to relax, take a nap, or read a book or magazine. Her patients have reported little to no discomfort during the procedure, noting only a mild tingling sensation.

With the addition of CoolSculpting® to her practice, Dr. Bayati feels that her patients will have more options when it comes to body sculpting. She says that, although it will depend on one's individual needs and goals as to whether CoolSculpting® is the best option for them, the new technique opens up opportunities for many people who were looking for a way to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat without surgery, needles, or recovery times.
