Reduce Stubborn Fat
If you are like millions of other people, you may have reached that “A ha” moment where you realize your diet and exercise routine is not going to reduce that stubborn fat you’ve been targeting. The lack of desired results can be distressing, even when we are told time and time again that we really can’t reduce fat from a given area, only throughout the body as a whole. Many people turn to liposuction for help when these trouble spots refuse to budge, and this has helped some people. Whether it’s liposuction or other treatment options, fat reduction to specific problem areas can be in your future when you consult with Dr. Bengelsdorf of Franklin Skin and Laser. Schedule a consultation today to find the exact right fat reduction solution for you!
refine a chosen Area of the Body
The goal of liposuction is to refine a chosen area of the body by eliminating accumulated fat cells. Popular areas for women to request liposuction treatment include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and flanks.
For men, liposuction may be sought to refine the abdomen, love handles, or the chest if excessive breast tissue is causing “man boobs”.
While liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat from specific areas of your body, it requires a long recovery period and can be painful. However, it's effective in reducing fat. On the other hand, Emsculpt is a non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic technology to both reduce fat and build muscle. It's a safer and more comfortable option, with little to no downtime. Emsculpt can help you tone your muscles and reduce fat at the same time, making it a great choice for people who want a complete body transformation without the risks involved in surgery.
At Franklin Skin and Laser, we understand that achieving your ideal body shape often requires more than just targeting stubborn fat. That’s why we offer the Franklin Skin and Slim Shot as part of our comprehensive weight loss program. This innovative approach, featuring a peptide similar to Semaglutide, complements your weight loss efforts by helping to reduce appetite and manage blood sugar levels, making it easier to reach and maintain your desired weight.
While liposuction can effectively remove fat from specific areas, combining it with our Skin and Slim Shot can enhance your overall results. This once-weekly injection is tailored to support your body’s natural processes, making it a powerful ally in your journey to a healthier, slimmer you. Whether used alone or in conjunction with other treatments like CoolSculpting and Emsculpt, the Franklin Weight Loss Program offers a holistic approach to achieving your aesthetic goals.
Liposuction and CoolSculpting each have their own unique characteristics and uses.
Liposuction involves a surgical process that removes excess fat from the body using suction. This process requires anesthesia and has a recovery period that can result in bruising and swelling. While it gives immediate results, some people may be hesitant to undergo the procedure due to its invasiveness and associated downtime.
CoolSculpting, on the other hand, is a non-invasive and non-surgical approach to fat reduction. Using controlled cooling technology, CoolSculpting freezes and eliminates targeted fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. This procedure boasts minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their regular activities immediately. CoolSculpting provides a comfortable and safer alternative to liposuction, with its gradual, natural-looking results appearing over several weeks. The non-invasive nature of CoolSculpting, absence of anesthesia, and reduced recovery time make it an appealing option for those seeking a convenient and effective method of fat reduction.
Opting for minimally- or non-invasive treatments over liposuction offers several compelling benefits. These procedures, such as CoolSculpting or SculpSure, typically involve fewer risks and complications compared to invasive surgeries like liposuction.
Non-invasive treatments often eliminate the need for general anesthesia, reducing the likelihood of adverse reactions and complications associated with anesthesia administration. This factor contributes to a safer overall experience for individuals undergoing these procedures. Moreover, the absence of incisions in non-invasive treatments minimizes the risk of infection, bleeding, and scarring, further enhancing the safety profile and promoting a quicker recovery.
Non-invasive treatments generally result in reduced downtime and a faster return to daily activities compared to traditional liposuction. Patients undergoing non-invasive procedures often experience minimal discomfort and are typically able to resume their normal routines immediately after the treatment. This contrasts with the extended recovery periods and post-operative restrictions associated with liposuction.
The convenience and shorter recovery times make non-invasive options more appealing for individuals with busy lifestyles who may prefer to avoid the significant disruptions and downtime associated with surgical interventions. Overall, the combination of improved safety and convenience makes minimally- or non-invasive treatments an attractive choice for those seeking effective fat reduction without the challenges posed by traditional liposuction.
Minimally invasive Techniques
Like many procedures, liposuction has improved as new technologies have been developed. Today it is possible to remove unwanted fat from the body using techniques involving freezing temperatures, ultrasound energy, or heat, to name a few. Minimally invasive techniques are desirable for their limited risk, short recovery time, and decreased chance of scarring.
your ideal Path
The technique involved in tumescent liposuction is to inject the treatment area with tumescent fluid. The tumescent fluid numbs the treatment area to achieve a comfortable procedure. It also causes fat cells to expand, making their elimination easier. Lastly, the tumescent fluid causes the constriction of blood vessels, which reduces bleeding and post-operative discomfort.
When considering liposuction, it's important to understand that the cost can vary based on several factors. The areas being treated, the extent of fat removal, and the expertise of the surgeon all play a role in determining the final price. While liposuction can be effective in reducing stubborn fat, it’s also worth noting that the procedure can be a significant financial investment.
This is one of the reasons why many of our clients at Franklin Skin and Laser find greater value in alternatives like CoolSculpting and Emsculpt. These non-invasive treatments offer impressive results and often come at a lower cost than traditional liposuction. By choosing these alternatives, you may achieve the body contouring you desire without the higher price tag or the need for surgery.

Liposuction typically requires several weeks of recovery, whereas non-invasive alternatives like CoolSculpting and Emsculpt have minimal to no downtime.
While both treatments effectively reduce fat, CoolSculpting is non-invasive, involves no surgery, and offers a quicker recovery, making it an attractive alternative to liposuction.
Liposuction can help remove stubborn fat but often requires additional procedures like tummy tucks to achieve your flat stomach goals. For a truly flat stomach, treatments like CoolSculpting and Emsculpt can also target muscle toning and skin tightening.
Liposuction is generally less expensive than a tummy tuck. However, the cost can vary depending on the extent of the procedure, the surgeon's fees, and the geographic location. It's important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific needs and obtain an accurate cost estimate for both procedures.
Liposuction is primarily a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. While you may lose a few pounds after the procedure, the main goal is to improve your body's shape by removing stubborn fat from specific areas. The amount of weight you lose will depend on the amount of fat removed and your individual body.
