Unwanted fat deposits in certain areas of the body can spoil the contours and adversely impact the overall figure. While liposuction and other plastic surgery techniques are available to treat fat pockets, a growing number of patients are choosing non-surgical body contouring options such as CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting procedure is specifically designed to reduce stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, calves, knees, neck, upper arms, and back.
MBody is a leading provider of cutting edge body contouring procedures, including CoolSculpting. Led by board certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin, MBody provides CoolSculpting treatment to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and surrounding communities.
 

Cooling Technique

Among various non-surgical fat reduction techniques available today, CoolSculpting adopts the most innovative treatment approach that involves cooling instead of heating of targeted fat cells. Developed by Harvard scientists, CoolSculpting has emerged as an effective alternative to plastic surgery for many people who seek non-invasive fat reduction solutions.
CoolSculpting is an FDA cleared procedure that is based on a unique cooling process called cryolipolysis. Through this process, the treatment provider will address the targeted fatty deposits to freeze off the fat cells. The frozen fat cells will gradually disintegrate from the body in a natural metabolic process.
As experienced plastic surgeons, Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin receive patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas for CoolSculpting.

FDA Cleared for Skin Lift

Ultherapy distinguishes itself from most other skin tightening procedures. It is the only non-invasive procedure cleared by the FDA to lift the skin, enabling firming and tightening of the sagging and loose skin in areas such as the face, neck and décolletage. Without involving plastic surgery, this advanced treatment allows the provider to achieve targeted results in a natural looking way by activating structural support layers of the skin.
 

Advantages

Ultherapy is one of the recommended procedures at MBody because of its differentiated benefits of many other treatments. Experienced plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin receive patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas for this procedure.

• Unlike many skin rejuvenation procedures that involve multiple treatment sessions, Ultherapy can produce excellent skin lift and tightening outcomes in a single treatment.
• Controlled delivery of gentle, ultrasound energy in precise areas ensures that the surrounding healthy tissue and skin does not get harmed in any way.
• Ultherapy stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers, which can create more sustainable, natural looking and longer lasting results.
• In addition to treating the signs of natural aging, Ultherapy can also effectively fight other minor anomalies of the skin tone and texture, including harmful effects of sun damage.
• No anesthesia, incisions, pain and discomfort, scarring, or post-op downtime is involved in this procedure.

Butt Lift with Ultherapy

While Ultherapy has been widely used for facial rejuvenation, it has also now been accepted as a safe and effective solution for lifting the buttocks. The ultrasound energy will target the same innermost areas that a surgical butt lift would do, causing the skin to contract and tighten while reducing cellulite appearance. Results of Ultherapy butt lift will established fully over a few months, leading to tighter and more youthfully lifted buttocks.
 

Treatment Experience

At MBody, a patient can expect a completely comfortable Ultherapy experience in a state of the art treatment environment. The procedure will involve just a single, in-office treatment session that can usually be completed in about 60 to 90 minutes. The Ultherapy expert will use an ultrasound wand to deliver targeted ultrasound energy into the deep layers of the dermis.
As this energy gently heats the deeper tissue, it will trigger the natural collagen growth process in the area. Formation of new healthy skin cells will occur in the area, while the outer surface of the skin remains unaffected.

Exercise and dieting can take you a longer time in shedding those few extra pounds, so if you’re in a hurry, you can consider the more convenient, faster, and easier option of undergoing plastic surgery or liposuction.

What is liposuction?

 
Liposuction or lipo is the cosmetic or surgical process of reducing excess amount of fat from the body – especially in the stomach, thighs, and buttocks area – as these are the main problem areas in a typical human body. It can also be used to remove excess amounts of fat from the arms, neck, and face as well.
Liposuction can be performed either surgically or non-surgically, and both have their share of pros and cons. The four basic criteria to be kept in mind while performing lipo are –

• The extract the right amount of fat from a particular area.
• Not to damage or harm the surrounding areas and the neighboring blood vessels and tissue.
• Not to disrupt or disturb the natural fluid balance of the patient’s body.
• To make the person feel as comfortable as possible and perform the procedure with minimal pain.

Liposuction plastic surgery

 
 
Traditional lipo or lipo plastic surgery is best for areas that contain “soft fat” such as the neck, arms, lower abdomen and inner thighs. The advantages of traditional lipo are that the results are more noticeable and more effective than laser lipo, lesser chances of the fat returning to the same areas and the cost of traditional lipo is far lesser compared to laser lipo. Also, traditional lipo procedure takes a shorter amount of time than laser lipo.

Laser liposuction

 
Laser lipo is best suited for the face rather than the body, unlike lipo plastic surgery which is more effective for the body. The advantages of laser lipo are comparatively lesser bruising and swelling as compared to lipo plastic surgery. However, the disadvantages are more. There is a high possibility of burning and tissue swelling post the laser treatment. Laser lipo is much more expensive compared to plastic surgery lipo. Moreover, after laser lipo, depending on the amount of fat to be removed, several sessions of plastic surgery lipo might be required to remove the fat from the targeted areas.  
So, it is clear that plastic surgery lipo is definitely the better, cheaper and safer option as opposed to laser lipo.

Shedding those last couple of inches on your waistline can be quite problematic especially if you need to lose them fast. Exercising and dieting are the healthy way to go, but a liposuction is a good option if you are looking to take the quicker route.

What is liposuction or lipoplasty?

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure which helps to remove excess fat tissue or fat deposits in the face, neck, arms, abdomen, thighs and buttocks. It helps to add shape and contour to your body making you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin.  Liposuction can be done in a number of ways – plastic surgery, laser lipo, ultra shape, VASER and other techniques.
 

What is liposuction plastic surgery?

 
Liposuction plastic surgery is a procedure wherein once the patient is induced with anesthesia, the doctor inserts hollow tubes called cannulas into or underneath your skin and these tubes slowly suck out all the fatty deposits from that area. Lipo plastic surgery is preferred for those areas of your body that have soft fat like the neck, the underside of your arms, lower tummy, thighs, and butt.
The advantages of performing lipo plastic surgery are –

• Much safer compared to other techniques of liposuction.
• More noticeable and effective results post surgery.
• Cost is lower compared to other techniques of lipo.
• The procedure is faster and removes a larger quantity of fat.

The main disadvantage of lipo plastic surgery is the scarring and bruising post the surgery. This method tends to leave more marks and scars on the patient’s body compared to other less-invasive techniques of lipo. Lipo plastic surgery is a one-time procedure, that needs hardly three weeks of recovery time and the final results are more prominent and long-lasting and can be seen within six months.  

What is Ultrashape?

Ultrashape, unlike lipo plastic surgery, is a non-invasive or non-surgical alternative to liposuction. The results of ultra shape are rather similar but much more natural as compared to lipo plastic surgery. The results of ultra shape are more natural because the fat dissolves or melts away over a period of 1-2 months, which is similar to losing weight through the natural process of dieting and exercising. So, the results appear to be similar to losing weight naturally. You will not see a drastic change overnight unlike lipo plastic surgery.
Ultrashape is a great option for people who do not want to lose a drastic amount of weight or who are not willing to go under the knife, but who still have issues with tiny fat deposits in certain areas that they want to be removed.
So depending on the patient’s individual requirement, they can opt for lipo plastic surgery or ultra shape; both of which come with their share of pros and cons.
