New Years Resolution: Lose Fat with Lipo or CoolSculpting

/in , /by

Choose Lipo or CoolSculpting to Lose Fat in 2022!

Well, we ALL deserve a pat on the back for making it through 2021 – a year that will go down in the history books as one that nobody want to revisit. And now that 2022 is here it’s that time of year again for New Years Resolutions. Losing weight and getting in better shape is always the top New Years Resolution in the United States, year after year. And this year that more people than ever are concerned about their physiques after the weight gain caused by the sedentary lifestyle of the pandemic.

If you gained unwanted fat during the past two years, you are not alone! A survey by the American Psychological Association has reported that 42 percent of U.S. adults said they gained too much weight during quarantine. And popular website Statistica reports that 50% of Americans want to get in better shape in 2022 as their New Years Resolution! But, as we all know, that is much easier said than done.

The good news is that there are two highly effective ways to get rid of unwanted fat – without diet or exercise – now available at AMAE in Birmingham, MI. In fact, Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women and men in the Birmingham area – and across Wayne, Oakland & Macomb County – get the body they want with either Lipo or CoolSculpting!

But with two great fat-loss treatments, how do you know which procedure is right for you? In this article the fat loss experts at AMAE in Birmingham, MI discuss the general differences between Lipo and CoolSculpting. Remember every patient is unique, and what is the best procedure for one person may not be right for someone else. Take a look at the the details below and then schedule a consultation with Dr. Ali to see which fat loss method is best for you. He provides each patient with an evaluation and detailed answers to their questions, so that you can choose the best fat loss procedure to help you achieve your personal New Years Resolution!

Lipo Facts

Liposuction – commonly called  “Lipo” – is a minimally invasive surgical technique that removes excess fat deposits located between the skin and muscle. Lipo improves the body’s shape by surgically getting rid of stubborn “bulges” of fat that are resistant to exercise and dieting.

While lipo is a “fat loss” treatment, and not a weight loss method per se, up to 11 pounds of unwanted fat can safely be removed in a single lip procedure. In most cases Lipo can be performed under local anesthesia, and the patient can go home within a half hour after the procedure. The incision(s) made during Lipo are very small (less than 3mm) so there are no stitches and little to no visible scars.

The recovery time after Lipo is from 2 to 7 days before normal activity can be resumed – and there is both swelling and discomfort that gradually subsides over a period of 2 to 8 weeks.

Liposuction is very appealing to many people as a fat loss solution, because results are “immediate” – because the fat has been surgically and permanently “sucked out”. Once the swelling goes down, the fat loss is completely visible and while it is possible to gain weight after lipo, the fat cells in the treated are will never come back.

In addition to being performed on the “tummy” (abdomen, waist) Lipo can also  be used on many other parts of the body including the flanks (love handles), arms, thighs and butt, male breast area, and even the chin!

Lipo also generally works best for people who have good skin elasticity and muscle tone – and who do not have excess skin or loose abdominal muscles. Patients with mild to moderate loose skin may want to combine lipo with one of our state-of-the-art, non-surgical, laser or radiofrequency skin tightening treatments. And patients with excessive loose skin or stretched abdominal muscles may wish to consider surgical skin tightening (like a tummy tuck or arm lift).

CoolSculpting Facts

One of the easiest ways to lose fat in the New Year – without diet, exercise or downtime – is revolutionary CoolSculpting.

Like Lipo, CoolSculpting is primarily used to remove stubborn areas of fat that resist diet and exercise.  And, like Lipo, CoolSculpting is not a weight loss tool for obesity. However, CoolSculpting can reduce fat by up to 25% in the treated area – with no surgery and no downtime.

CoolSculpting is non-surgical and non-invasive – so there is no incision and no local anesthetic. This also means that there is virtually no recovery period! While lipo is generally done in one treatment, CoolSculpting typically involves multiple treatments – depending on the area(s) being treated and the amount of fat being removed.  CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells, which are then eliminated naturally by the body – so it takes a little more time to see results than with lipo. Most patients begin to see results within 4 weeks, and it may take 3 to 5 months to observe final results.

As an added benefit, CoolSculpting does have some skin tightening properties. It can also be combined with one of our advanced, non-surgical, laser or radiofrequency skin tightening treatments. Like lipo, however, CoolSculpting does not remedy loose abdominal muscles – which are better treated with a surgical tummy tuck.

Beware of Lipo or CoolSculpting Clinics With Only One Choice

The best way to determine whether Lipo or CoolSculpting treatment is best for you is to discuss your goals with a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali who offers BOTH Lipo AND CoolSculpting. AMAE Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Birmingham, MI offers both fat loss procedures. We will examine your skin, muscles, body, lifestyle and goals to help you choose the best procedure for your unique needs.

Always be very wary of doctors, clinic that only offer one type of fat loss or skin tightening procedure. They will likely steer or pressure you into the procedure they offer – even if another procedure would be better for your body, your goals or your lifestyle. Only a surgeon who offers BOTH procedures can give you the choices you need, so that you can choose the fat loss treatment that is best for you.

Best Lipo in Birmingham, MI

In sum, CoolSculpting is less invasive, and less uncomfortable than Lipo, with less downtime. But the CoolSculpting results take more treatments than Lipo – and the results of CoolSculpting take longer to be visible than Lipo. For patients with moderate skin laxity in the treated area AMAE also offers advanced, non-surgical skin tightening technologies. And, for patients with excess loose skin and/or stretched or torn abdominal muscles, Dr. Ali also offers surgical treatments that can tighten skin and muscles – such as tummy tucks and arm lifts.

Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women and men in the Birmingham, MI area and across Wayne, Oakland & Macomb County get the body they want with Lipo and CoolSculpting. He will be happy to offer you a consultation to help you understand your options and decide if Lipo or CoolSculpting is right for you.

And remember, financing options are also available!

6 Reasons We Love CoolSculpting for Fat Loss

/in /by

CoolSculpting: Lose That Fat in The New Year!

Congratulations are in order – we made it through 2021, and another Christmas in the time of COVID. We understand if you’re a little bit exhausted. And, if you are like most people you probably put on a few pound (or more) during quarantine as well as during the holidays. 2022 is time for a fresh start – and what better way to start the New Year than with affordable, effective fat loss treatments – that require NO dieting and NO exercise!

2022 is the perfect time to do something just for you. And CoolSculpting – for the body you’ve always wanted – is the perfect gift you can give yourself.

In this article the fat loss experts at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa explain why CoolSculpting is the perfect fat loss treatment for the New Year!

#1. CoolSculpting is Affordable

The average American family spent almost $1000 on gifts this holiday season. And people in the Rochester Hills, Troy, Farmington Hills and West Bloomfield area typically spent much more than this! How much did you spend on others this Christmas? Most people don’t think twice about pulling out their credit card to buy that “perfect gift” for their loved ones at Christmas. But few of us spend that kind of money on ourselves.

With CoolSculpting treatments starting under $1000 you can give yourself a better body, for less than you spent on Christmas gifts. And, through January 31, 2022, AMAE is offering new patients $250 OFF 6 or more CoolSculpting cycles – so you can start your fat loss journey right away.

#2. CoolSculpting Financing Is Available

With several easy financing options, you can give yourself the gift of fat loss today. We offer two easy and convenient financing options that enable patients to get CoolSculpting now and pay for it  over time?

Many of our patients have used the following lenders, and are very happy with the level of service they received and the way they were treated.

CoolSculpting Financing Companies:

#3. CoolSculpting is Permanent

CoolSculpting is the gift that keeps on giving year after year – because the fat loss results are permanent. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that literally freezes and kills unwanted fat cells. Once the fat cells are destroyed they are eliminated from the body, and they do not come back … ever!

This is because the number of fat cells a person has is set by the time they are adults. So, while you gain gain or lose weight, once fat cells are destroyed the body can never make new ones!

#4. CoolSculpting has No Downtime

Got a free hour? That’s typically all it takes for a CoolSculpting treatment! You can even have CoolSculpting done on your lunch break – and return to work the same day. Many Mom’s have it done while the kids are in school, and still pick up their children at the end of the school day.

Depending upon the number of areas to be treated, and the amount of fat to be removed, patients may need more than one treatment. But there is never any downtime afterward!

#5. CoolSculpting Fat Loss with No Diet & No Exercise

Heredity primarily determines where fat is stored on our bodies. That is why fat often does not respond to diet or exercise. And, most busy parents and business people just don’t have time to spend endless hours in the gym. Additionally, certain areas of the body – such as rolls of back fat or double chins – can’t effectively be reached with exercise.

But CoolSculpting eliminates fat – without diet or exercise! Patients simply lie back and relax while our certified CoolSculpting technician applies the applicator to the treated area. In less than an hour the fat cells are destroyed – and patients can return to their day.

#6. CoolSculpting Delivers Results Before Summer

January is the perfect time to consider CoolSculpting – because your results will be complete by the time swimsuit season rolls around.

Once the fat is frozen, your body’s lymphatic system will gradually remove the dead fat cells over time. Because it takes time for the body to eliminate the dead fat cells, CoolSculpting results start to be visible after 2 to 4 weeks. And it may take 2 months for more dramatic results, and up to 3 to 5 months to deliver complete and final results.

So January is the perfect time to get started! By June your body will be 100% bathing suit ready. Your partner, family and friends will be amazed at the “new you” that emerges from your winter sweater and into that bold bikini or bathing suit trunks!

CoolSculpting | Birmingham & Rochester Hills Area

Isn’t 2022 time you finally kept that fat loss resolution – and gave yourself the gift of a slimmer, trimmer body?

Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women and men across Oakland County, including Birmingham, Rochester Hills, Troy and the surrounding area lose fat, and get the body they want with CoolSculpting. He will be happy to offer you a consultation to help you understand how CoolSculpting can help you get the body you’ll love in 2022!

4 Effective Ways to Get Rid of Pubic Fat

/in , /by

Pubic Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening for Men & Women

Fat in the pubic area can undermine a woman or man’s self-confidence in the bedroom during those intimate moments. But, unfortunately, the “pubic mound” is among the most difficult areas from which to lose fat. And, while lifestyle adjustments like dieting and exercising are important to losing weight, they simply can’t do very much to trim and tone the pubic area.

This is because – while we can control (to some extent) how much weight we lose – we have absolutely no control over where fat loss occurs on our body. And, arguably, no area is more diet-and-exercise-resistant than the pubic area.

The good news is that there are a variety of medical pubic fat reduction solutions available at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in the Detroit area. We offer four advanced non-surgical and surgical pubic fat reduction and toning procedures. In this article, we’ll discuss how a thinner, more toned pubic area can now be a reality for anyone.

Liposuction to Remove Pubic Fat

Out of the many pubic fat reduction options available to our Detroit area patients, liposuction is perhaps the most popular. By gently removing excess fat from the pubic mound, liposuction is a safe and effective means of attaining thinner pubic area. Lipo is invasive than pubic lift surgery and also has a shorter recovery time.

Through the use of tiny tubes called micro-cannulas, board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon gently dislodges fat from the treatment area. The micro-cannulas then suck the fat from the pubic area, resulting in a thinner and more attractive pubic area.

Typically, lipo pubic fat reduction procedure requires only light anesthesia. And liposuction patients are afforded a thinner pubic area with only a few days of downtime – far less than with pubic lift surgery.

CoolSculpting to Get Rid of Pubic Fat

CoolSculpting for pubic fat reduction is a completely non-invasive, non-surgical method of obtaining a thinner pubic area. Unlike liposuction, which simply removes unwanted fat via suction, CoolSculpting instead freezes and kills the unwanted fat cells in the treatment area. In the weeks that follow, the destroyed fat cells will die, collapse, and be naturally eliminated from the body.
While highly effective at getting rid of fat, CoolSculpting does not result in the body contouring produced by liposuction. And, while CoolSculpting is a safe and effective way to get thinner pubic area – with no downtime – it takes a few weeks for the pubic fat reduction results to become visible.

Additionally, while liposuction and pubic lift surgery provide pubic fat reduction with just one procedure, CoolSculpting delivers peak results through a series of multiple treatments.

Profound for Tighter, Toned Pubic Area

Sagging skin is another issue in the pubic area that can make a man or woman feel unattractive during intimacy. But when performed on its own – or in combination with fat loss from lipoor CoolSculpting –amazing new Profound radiofrequency skin tightening can help patients achieve firm toned pubic area!

This revolutionary pubic mound tightening procedure is as safe and effective as it is groundbreaking. Using radiofrequency energy, Profound RF skin tightening is able to deliver incredible, toned results completely non-surgically. With results that last, patients can say goodbye to sagging, lax, or loose skin in the pubic area.

Pubic Lift Surgery to Get Rid of Pubic Fat

Unlike the other less invasive pubic fat reduction procedures, pubic lift surgery (monsplasty) is more invasive – but also delivers the most dramatic results. Somewhat like a “tummy tuck for the pubic mound” this is an extremely effective, way to get thinner pubic area as well as tighten or remove loose skin on the pubic mound.
During pubic lift surgery an incision is made under anesthetic, and Dr. Ali removes fat and surgically reshapes and tightens the tissue. He will also remove excess outer skin, re-drape it, and pull it tight to offer a smooth toned pubic mound.

If needed support sutures will be placed in the underlying tissues to ensure that the new shape of the pubic area permanently remains in place. Then, Dr. Ali will close the skin incisions with sutures. Dr. Ali will take great care to make incisions as small an unnoticeable as possible – often placing them in areas that will be masked by clothing and bathing suits.

Pubic Fat Removal – Detroit Area

Whether you’re looking to get rid of stubborn pubic fat or to simply tighten the skin of your pubic area, we have the solution you need. Board certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Ali is skilled and experienced in remodeling and reducing pubic areas in men and women so that you are confident and proud of your body.

Contact AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa today to schedule a discreet and confidential consultation – and take the first step on your journey to feeling confident in your own skin again!

How to Get Thin by the New Year

/in , , /by

Give Yourself the Gift of Fat Loss For Christmas– 

Thanksgiving has past, Hanukkah is here, and Christmas is only a few weeks away. And, as always, the goal for the upcoming New Year is to “get thin” – or at least lose the extra fat that many of us accumulated during 2020 and 2021.

But, we all know that dieting and exercise is just not an effective or easy way to “get thin quick” or “lose fat fast.” The good news is that Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali offers three highly effective procedures to remove unwanted fat without restricting calories or working out. He has helped hundreds of women and men in the greater Detroit area get the body they want with  a wide variety of procedures to remove fat and inches from almost every area of the body, including: liposuction, CoolSculpting, tummy tucks and more.

In this article we discuss the time-frames of the most popular body sculpting and fat loss procedures available at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in the Detroit area.

How Long Do Liposuction Results Take?

Liposuction delivers visible results the “fastest” of the most common body sculpting procedures.

Tumescent liposuction is the newest generation liposuction procedures, which uses a “micro-cannula” (tiny tube) to suck out the fat. Tumescent liposuction only involves one procedure and significantly less swelling and “downtime” than older liposuction techniques.

As the swelling goes down (after the first few days up to about 4 to 6 weeks) the liposuction results become visible. Because the fat has been surgically “sucked out” and does not have to be eliminated by the body, the results are immediate – though only visible post-swelling.

Your recovery period will depend on how extensive the procedure was, how much fat was removed, your age, your general health, etc. But in most cases the swelling will subside, and substantial results will be visible in 4 to 6 weeks.

So, if you are hoping for visible results by New Years, early December is the time to book your liposuction appointment!! Additionally, because liposuction requires a few days to a week or so of downtime, many people find that the Christmas Break is a great time to schedule their liposuction procedure. But hurry, these appointments always go fast!

How Long Do CoolSculpting Results Take?

Like liposuction, CoolSculpting can remove stubborn areas of fat that resist diet and exercise – but it is not a weight loss tool.

CoolSculpting is non-surgical and non-invasive – giving it the advantage of having virtually no “downtime” and no period of recovery. However, CoolSculpting, involves multiple treatments.

Patients typically begin to see results within 4-5 weeks, although it may take 3 to 6 months to deliver complete and final results.

So, while CoolSculpting is less invasive, less uncomfortable, and has less downtime, seeing results takes more treatments – and the results take much longer to be visible.

If you book a CoolSculpting appointment in December, you will likely see some – but not complete – results by New Years day. 

How Long Do Tummy Tuck Results Take?

A tummy tuck (also called abdominoplasty) is a more invasive procedure than liposuction or CoolSculpting. A tummy tuck tightens “flabby” skin and loose muscle, while liposuction or CoolSculpting only remove excess fat.

Immediately following your tummy tuck, loose, sagging skin will be gone – but some swelling will continue. Gradually the swelling decreases over a period of several weeks, revealing the firm, tight skin and muscles.

A tummy tuck typically requires general anesthesia. An incision is made across the lower in order to remove excess abdominal skin and tighten the abdominal muscles. This does result in a longer recovery time and more intense discomfort. So, once again, if your job offers you time off over the holiday, it can be an ideal time to consider a tummy tuck.

Scheduling a tummy tuck in early December will reveal a tighter abdomen by New Years.  But, realistically, because it is a more invasive surgery, it will be late January before complete results of your tummy tuck will be visible. Additionally, if you elect to have a tummy tuck during the holidays – care must be taken not to “overdo it” during your recovery period. Let Santa do the lifting and delivering of packages, while you sit back and sip a hot cocoa!

Best Detroit Area Liposuction Surgeon

Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women and men across the greater Detroit area get the body they want with liposuction, CoolSculpting, tummy tucks, and other non-invasive, minimally-invasive and surgical procedures. He will be happy to offer you a consultation to help you understand your options and results time-frame, so you can choose the best procedure for your goals.

How to Look Thinner on Zoom (Part 1)

/in , , /by

8 Ways to Look Thinner on Zoom (Part 1) – 

There have been many surprising changes to our lifestyles during the pandemic. One of these is that many of us our finding ourselves “on camera” and being videoed for the first time in our life. And, whether we are participants or presenters in Zoom meetings, we are all becoming acutely aware that the old adage is true: “the camera adds ten pounds.”

And while some Zoom meeting just involve a few close colleagues, others are taped for broadcast, watching and re-watching company-wide. Couple this with the fact that many of us have gained a few (or fifteen) extra pounds from the more sedentary stay-at-home lifestyle of the quarantine – and both women and men are becoming increasingly concerned about looking chubby on camera.

The good news is that there are both “camera tricks” and aesthetic treatments that can make you appear slimmer on camera (and off!). In addition to using lighting, highlighting and camera angles to your advantage, Dr. Ali offers the fastest and safest aesthetic procedures for losing the “quarantine fifteen” so you look more like a celebrity – and less like a couch potato on camera.

Camera Tricks to Look Thinner in Zoom Meetings

Let’s first start with some easy “basics” here, to looking thinner on Zoom and other video platforms.

#1. Camera Placement: Make sure your camera is at eye level to look thinner.

If the camera is below you, and angled up, everyone is getting a birds-eye view of the underside of your chin. And, unless you’re a fit twenty-five year old (or George Clooney), looking up at the flesh beneath the chin is rarely a flattering angle.

#2. Body Placement: Sit at a slight angle to the camera to look thinner on Zoom.

Most people sit facing the camera directly…often leaning back slightly. This will make your face and body look wider and more square. Think “side-saddle” when sitting in your office chair, which places your body at a more slimming 45 degree angle to the camera.

And, leaning back accentuates both the belly and (double) chin. So, don’t forget to sit up straight! In addition to making you look more confident and professional, pressing the shoulders back will help elongate the neck and make the face look slimmer, too!

#3. Head Placement: Tilt the forehead slightly forward to look thinner on Zoom.

This is an old photographers’ “trick” that works equally well on Zoom and in videos, as it does in still photos. Tilting the forehead slightly forward will make the face look longer and less round. It also casts a shadow over the chin, concealing any excess fat below the jaw.

#4. Wear Dark, Fitted Clothing: Avoid vertical stripes, loud prints and baggy clothes to look thinner on Zoom.

In person, your colleagues can tell where your clothes end and you begin. But on a smaller video screen wide or loose clothes simply make your body look wide, too. Additionally, anything that draws the eye from side to side – like horizontal stripes – also makes you look bigger. And busy patterns and bright colors also draw the eye’s focus to the body.

#5. Contour with Make-Up or an Angled Beard: this reduces the chin’s appearance in women or men with “shadowing.”

For hundreds of years men have been hiding their double chins with a well-trimmed beard! The sharper the angles of the beard, the squarer the jaw will appear. Women can achieve a similar illusion of a slimmer face by creating subtle shadows around the jawline, along the sides of the face, and under the cheekbones with well-placed contouring. (see illustrations, below).

Aesthetic Treatments to Look Thinner on Zoom

These “tricks” can certainly help you look thinner when on camera. But the reality is, camera angles can only go so far to disguise unwanted fat on the face and body. Fortunately, there are three fast, affordable and non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures offered at AMAE Med Spa in the Detroit area that can actually permanently get rid of unwanted fat on the face and the body.

Lose the “Quarantine 15” with CoolSculpting

Lose the “Quarantine 15” with CoolSculpting: No Dieting or Exercise!

After months of social distancing and working-from-home, many of us are looking in the mirror and seeing some extra fat from the extra hours spent in front of the TV or computer snacking. Dubbed the “Quarantine 15” by the media, most experts seem to think that the average person’s pandemic weight gain is about 3 to 5 pounds.

But whether you have gained an extra 5 pounds or an extra 15 pounds, fat loss is probably high on your list of priorities. And with summer almost over – an outdoor exercise coming to an end – it’s easy to get frustrated by unsightly jiggle on the belly, thighs, love handles, hips and arms.

Thankfully, the Detroit area fat loss experts at AMAE Plastic Surgery offer two state-of-the-art, rapid and effective fat loss treatments to permanently get rid of the Quarantine 15: CoolSculpting and Liposuction. In this article Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. M. Azhar Ali discusses the benefits of non-invasive CoolSculpting for fat loss… without dieting or exercise.

The Cost of CoolSculpting vs. Diet & Exercise

According to market research firms, Americans spend more than $60 billion every year to try to lose fat and unwanted pounds – and yet few are successful. And those who do lose the weight, typically “yo-yo” and put the weight back on within a year… starting the cycle of diet spending all over again.

For many American’s the pursuit of a more beautiful body is a lifelong challenge that is never accomplished. Dieting, depriving themselves, exhausting themselves at the gym, only to get frustrated with slow or no progress. They end up spending thousands of dollars with no results to show.

However, our CoolSculpting treatments begin at only $700. And the results are permanent. So you only spend once, get the results you want, and never again waste money on fad diets, dangerous diet pills, or expensive gym memberships!

Most American families spend approximately $1000 every year on Christmas gifts for everyone else! Isn’t it time to give yourself the gift of the body you’ve always wanted? And with our financing options, you can get started today.

How CoolSculpting Works without Diet or Exercise

It really is NOT your fault if you accumulate stubborn fat in unwanted areas! You see, your DNA determines where your body will deposit fat. The number of fat cells in our bodies becomes fixed in our teenage years and losing weight simply does not decrease this number of fat cells.

As you gain weight, the fat cells on your body may get bigger, however the number of fat cells does not increase. And in the same way, when you diet and exercise, the cells may get smaller but the number of fat cells stays the same.

So even with diet and exercise, you can still have a jiggly middle, or stubborn muffin top, or other stubborn fat pocket that just won’t go away. It’s not your fault, it’s your DNA!

CoolSculpting uses a handheld applicator to apply cold temperatures to the unwanted fat. Mild suction pulls the fat bulges into the applicator. The applicator “freezes” or “crystalizes” the fat cells. This literally “kills” the fat cells. Your body then eliminates the fat cells over time.

Once the fat cells are gone, they are gone for good! They never come back. And this is something that all of the diet and exercise in the world cannot accomplish.

Get CoolSculpting in September – Be Thin by Thanksgiving

September is the perfect time to consider CoolSculpting – because your results will be dramatically visible by the time the holidays roll around.

Once the fat is frozen, your body’s lymphatic system will gradually remove the dead fat cells over time. Because it takes time for the body to eliminate the dead fat cells, CoolSculpting results start to be visible after 2 to 4 weeks. But the most dramatic results typically become visible in around 2 months.  Complete and final results will appear in 3 to five months.

So September is the perfect time to get started on your fat loss plan! Whether you see your friends and family in person or virtually this Thanksgiving and Christmas, they will be amazed at the new slender you that has emerged from Quarantine!

Detroit Area’s Best CoolSculpting

There are enough things to stress about during the pandemic – but weight gain does not have to be one of them.  Now is the perfect time to get the the slimmer, trimmer, more beautiful body you’ve always wanted!

Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women and men across the Detroit area lose fat, and get the body they want with CoolSculpting. He will be happy to offer you a consultation to help you understand how CoolSculpting can help you get the body you’ll love.

How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost?

/in /by

How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost in the Troy, MI Area?

As the Troy, MI area’s top provider of state-of-the-art CoolSculpting fat freezing treatments, many of our patient’s first questions is “How much does CoolSculpting cost?”

In this article our fat loss experts provide you with the facts and figures you need to understand how CoolSculpting pricing and discounts work, to give you the fat loss results you want almost anywhere on your body.

Best Troy, MI Area, CoolSculpting Prices

We completely understand that during these financially uncertain times, every penny counts. That is why we offer the best CoolSculpting prices in the Troy, MI area – along with special CoolSculpting discounts during the month of May, 2020.

Everybody’s fat loss needs are different – so each person will have a customized CoolSculpting treatment plan, which means the cost will vary from person to person.

Calculating CoolSculpting Prices

Your CoolSculpting cost will depend on two factors: the number of areas to be treated, and the amount of fat to be removed.

CoolSculpting can remove from 20-25% of the fat in a treated area in one procedure. So a person with less fat to lose may only need one treatment – while a person with a larger amount of fat to lose may require multiple treatments. Obviously, as with any service, multiple CoolSculpting treatments will cost more than a single treatment.

Additionally, some individuals may only need to lose fat from their belly or their love handles, while others may want to have fat removed from their belly, back, thighs and arms. There is a cost for each area treated – so the price for individuals treating more areas is higher than it is for patients treating one area.

That’s why we offer a consultation to put together a personalized treatment plan and determine an exact price.  You will meet with one of our experienced and certified CoolSculpting technicians who will discuss the areas you want treated, take measurements, and put together a plan and a CoolSculpting price for you.

To help you invest in the body you’ll love, we offer package discounts – as well as monthly specials – including this month’s May 2020 special of $500 OFF CoolSculpting!

Three Reasons to Get CoolSculpting Now

Now is the perfect time to invest in the body you’ve always wanted! In addition to being on sale, the timing may just be perfect.

#1. CoolSculpting is $500 Off – in May 2020 with purchase of 6 treatments.

#2. You have the time now – if you are off work due to Covid-19, now is an excellent time to come in for CoolSculpting.

#3. CoolSculpting is safe during social distancing – because we only allow one patient in our Troy, MI area office at a time, and the strictest clinical sterilization and safety protocols are being followed.

#4. You can still see results before summer is over. If you come into our Troy, MI area office by May you will begin to see results as early as July, with dramatic results as soon as August.

4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs

4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs – 

Of all areas of the body, the thighs are among the most difficult from which to lose fat. And while lifestyle adjustments like dieting and exercising are important to losing weight, they can only do so much to thin thighs. While we can control (to some extent) how much weight we lose, we have absolutely no control over where weight loss occurs on our body. And, arguably, no area is more diet-and-exercise-resistant than the thighs – something that leads many on the search for some kind of medical thigh reduction solution.

For such individuals, at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Troy, MI area, we offer four cutting-edge non-surgical and surgical thigh reduction and toning procedures. In this article, we’ll discuss how despite being such an infamous “problem area,” thinner thighs can now be a reality for anyone.

Liposuction for Thinner Thighs

Out of every thigh reduction option available to our patients, liposuction is perhaps the most popular. By gently removing excess fat from the thigh area, liposuction is a safe and effective means of attaining thinner thighs. Less invasive than thigh lift surgery, thigh reduction liposuction also has a shorter recovery time.

Through the use of tiny tubes called micro-cannulas, board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon gently dislodges fat from the treatment area. The micro-cannulas then suck the fat from the thigh, resulting in thinner thighs than ever before.

Usually, this particular thigh reduction procedure requires only light anesthesia. Liposuction patients are afforded thinner thighs with only a few days of downtime – far less than with thigh lift surgery.

CoolSculpting for Thinner Thighs

CoolSculpting for thigh reduction is a completely non-invasive, non-surgical method of obtaining thinner thighs. Unlike liposuction, which simply removes unwanted fat via suction, CoolSculpting instead physically freezes the fat cells of the treatment area. In the weeks that follow, these unwanted fat cells will die, collapse, and be naturally eliminated from the body. While highly effective at getting rid of fat, CoolSculpting does not result in the body contouring produced by liposuction.

And, while CoolSculpting is a safe and effective way to get thinner thighs, patients should not expect immediate results. In most cases, it takes a few weeks for full thigh reduction results to become visible. Furthermore, while liposuction can provide thigh reduction with just one trip to our Troy, MI area practice, CoolSculpting delivers peak results only through a series of treatments.

Profound for Tighter, Toned Thighs

When performed on its own – or in combination with fat loss from liposuction or CoolSculpting –amazing new Profound radiofrequency skin tightening can help patients achieve firm toned thighs!

This revolutionary thigh reduction procedure is as effective as it is groundbreaking. Using radiofrequency energy, Profound RF skin tightening is able to deliver incredible, toned results completely non-surgically. With results that last, patients can say goodbye to sagging, lax, or loose thigh skin.

Thigh Lift Surgery for Thinner Thighs

Unlike the other less invasive thigh reduction procedures, thigh lift surgery is a more invasive, but extremely effective, way to get thinner thighs. Many of our Troy, MI area patients visit us for thigh lift surgery as a way to get rid of stubborn fat, but the procedure is equally effective at removing and tightening significantly loose or excess skin.

During thigh lift surgery an incision is made under anesthetic, and Dr. Ali removes fat and surgically reshapes and tightens the tissue.  He will also remove excess outer skin and redrape it to offer a smooth, proportionate looking contour.

Deep support sutures will be placed in the underlying tissues to ensure that the new shape of the thinner thigh area remains in place. Then, Dr. Ali will close the skin incisions with sutures. Dr. Ali will take great care to make incisions in areas that will be masked by most clothing and bathing suits.

4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs: Fat Loss Without Diet or Exercise (Part 1)

4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs: Fat Loss Without Diet or Exercise (Part 1)–

Frustratingly, the number of fat cells in our bodies becomes fixed in our teenage years and losing or gaining weight does not increase or decrease this number of fat cells. As you gain weight, the fat cells on your body will get bigger – and with dieting and weight loss, the cells may get smaller but the number of fat cells stays the same.

This is why diet and exercise are often powerless to cause fat loss in a woman’s thighs. And, to make matters worse, gravity, fluctuations in weight, and age-related loss of muscle mass and skin elasticity can combine to result in loose saggy skin, or a loss of tone in the thigh area.

Fortunately, Dr. Ali offers the newest, most advanced non-invasive, minimally-invasive and surgical fat loss treatments for getting thinner, tighter, more toned thighs! In this 2 part article we discuss the top 4 fat loss treatments for improving the look and feel of your thighs.

  1. Non-Invasive CoolSculpting Fat Loss for Thinner Thighs

Through CoolSculpting, Detroit-area patients are able to get thinner thighs by physically removing fat from the treatment area itself. A single CoolSculpting fat loss treatment is enough to yield results of up to 25% thinner thighs.

The first step towards thinner thighs with CoolSculpting involves applying a handheld applicator to the treatment area, which uses mild suction to pull bulges of fat into itself. The applicator then lowers the temperature of the treatment area to freezing, causing the fat cells to be permanently destroyed.

Then, through the body’s natural elimination process, the dead fat cells are removed from the body. Since this is a gradual process, it typically takes patients several weeks to notice having significantly thinner thighs. But since the body cannot produce new fat cells, once they’re destroyed, they are gone for good.

For about 5 to 6 months after CoolSculpting fat loss treatment, the body will continue to eliminate dead fat cells, continuously providing Detroit area patients with thinner and thinner thighs.

The best way to maintain results from CoolSculpting is to live a healthy lifestyle and to avoid substantial weight gain. But since CoolSculpting is a permanent procedure, even if additional weight gain does occur, it will not be gained in the treatment area. This means that patients who visit AMAE Med Spa for CoolSculpting can walk away from their procedure with permanently thinner thighs.

2. Minimally-Invasive Liposuction Fat Loss for Thinner Thighs

An alternative means of attaining thinner thighs is through liposuction. Unlike CoolSculpting, which is non-invasive, liposuction is a surgical fat loss procedure.

Most instances of liposuction surgery are performed under local anesthesia. The procedure requires our Detroit area patients to receive a small incision (no larger than 3mm), but patients nonetheless do not require stitches, and are able to attain noticeably thinner thighs without practically any scarring.

While CoolSculpting patients get thinner thighs through the body’s natural elimination process, during liposuction, fat cells are physically sucked out of the body. As a result, liposuction patients typically only require one single procedure to get noticeably thinner thighs.

While there is some downtime that comes along with getting thinner thighs through liposuction, patients are able to return home as early as a half hour after treatment. Additionally, patients usually only have to wait 2 to 7 days before resuming their normal daily routine. And while liposuction patients may experience some mild pain while recovering, any such discomfort is easily treatable with medication, and will gradually begin to dissipate over a 2 to 8 week period.

And while patients may experience some swelling after getting liposuction for thinner thighs, it should go down after 4 – 6 weeks. Once this occurs, results will immediately become visible, with patients able to notice having significantly thinner thighs without having to wait for the body to eliminate destroyed fat cells.

CoolSculpting and liposuction are both effective fat loss treatments to get thinner thighs, each with their own unique benefits. CoolSculpting is non-invasive and requires less downtime than liposuction, while liposuction requires fewer treatments and produces more immediately visible fat loss results. At AMAE Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in the Detroit area, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali helps all of his patients select a fat loss treatment plan that best suits their needs.
