Both methods are proven safe and effective at removing unwanted fat. The method chosen should take into account how much fat you want to remove vs how much downtime and pain you can tolerate. We are happy to help you with your decision. Both technologies remove fat permanently. If your diet and exercise habits do not change however, more fat can again be deposited in other areas of the body.
We are currently open for both in-person consultations in the office as well as virtual video consultations.
Social distancing measures are in effect. We ask that you wear a mask to your appointment and wash your hands frequently or use hand sanitizer.
If you do not have a mask, we have them available for purchase. Please stay home if you have a fever or feel ill.
Online check-in is required to keep the waiting room empty and minimize the risk to our patients and staff.
