During your first visit Dr. Ali will look at your whole body from different angles, take measurements, and target the specific areas where you want to eliminate fat. For some people, one CoolSculpting treatment may be enough. For other patients, a customized treatment plan may include multiple treatments.

On Your CoolSculpting Treatment Day

Remember, CoolSculpting is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure. Your fat will be “frozen” – but there are no incisions and no anesthetic needed.

A gel pad and applicator will be applied to the targeted area of fat. The CoolSculpting applicator will then be applied to deliver controlled, targeted cooling to the fat.

The CoolSculpting procedure can be a little chilly, and you feel intense cold on the target area initially. As the area numbs within 5 to 10 minutes, this feeling usually subsides.

The CoolSculpting applicator also uses a mild vacuum to draw fatty tissue into the applicator cup, so you may also feel some slight pulling, tugging, or mild pinching. While slightly uncomfortable, most patients agree that it is painful. And many people simply read, check email, or even take a nap during the process.

The entire process only takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending g upon how much fat is frozen and how many body areas are treated during your visit.

After Your CoolSculpting Treatment

There is no downtime with CoolSculpting. You can even drive yourself home and/or return to work the same day.

Following the procedure, there may sometimes be some temporary redness, swelling, blanching (whiteness), bruising, tingling, stinging, or tenderness. This is perfectly normal. In a few patients there can be cramping, aching, itching, skin firmness or sensitivity. Chin liposuction may give you a sensation of fullness in the back of the throat.

All of these effects are temporary and will typically resolve within a few days – or a week or two at most. As with any medical procedure, Dr. Ali will explain in more detail what to expect in terms of potential after effects.

A follow-up assessment will be scheduled with Dr. Ali’s office, to review your CoolSculpting results, as well as to schedule additional treatments, if any.

Seeing Results after CoolSculpting

Now that the fat has been frozen, your body will gradually eliminate the dead fat cells over time. Initial results can begin to be seen in as little as three week. After three months the results should be substantially visible, and will be fully complete in no more than 6 months.

Fat cells that have been eliminated never come back. That does not mean you can never gain weight, though. So, maintaining a healthy lifestyle after your CoolSculpting will ensure the best long-term results!

How to Lose Fat Fast without Diet or Exercise –

Americans spend billions of dollars each year on diet fads and fitness trends, and yet more than 70% of Americans are still unhappy with their bodies. Thankfully, a new technology called CoolSculpting now enables men and women to “freeze off the fat” without surgery, diet or even exercise!

A Detroit area pioneer and expert in the CoolSculpting procedure is Hour Detroit Magazine’s Top Doc Dr. M. Azhar Ali. We sat down with Dr. Ali to ask the question that’s on everyone’s mind: Is it possible to lose fat without diet and exercise?

CoolSculpting for Fat Loss

There exist a few innovative procedures that can help patients look and feel their best without diet and exercise, says Dr. Ali. He points to some of the more popular procedures he currently performs at Amae Plastic Surgery Center in suburban Detroit.

One of the newest procedures Dr. Ali offers, CoolSculpting is the only FDA-approved and non-surgical means to treat excess fat. The procedure involves a specialized machine that freezes and eliminates stubborn fat cells. Patients can lose pounds and inches without sweating excessively or turning to bland, restrictive diets.

Dr. Ali urges all his patients to live a healthy lifestyle and to eat foods that provide adequate nutrition and healthy vitamins. He reminds us that CoolSculpting is not a treatment for obesity. But for those patients who are within 30 pounds of their ideal weight, CoolSculpting can eliminate stubborn fat without all the effort.

Additionally, because there is no surgery involved, there is no scarring and no painful recovery or “downtime.”

In addition to CoolSculpting, Detroit plastic surgeon Dr. Ali offers other state-of-the-art fat removal procedures that are more effective than diet and exercise alone.

Liposuction for Stubborn Fat

“Liposuction I one of the most common procedures I currently perform,” states Dr. Ali. “Most of my patients are female, but I’m getting an increasing number of men who opt for the procedure as well.”

The procedure involves the removal of the excess fatty tissue that is difficult to get rid of with diet and exercise alone. Some patients opt to have fat removed from their abdomens, some from their hips and some from their upper thighs (also referred to as “saddle bags”). Men tend to be more concerned with their abdomens, chest and love handles (also referred to as a “spare tire”).

Liposuction can remove both the superficial and deep fat that can cause a person to look unshapely and feel unattractive.

Male Breast Reduction Surgery

“Many men who come into my practice complain of having female-like breasts,” says Dr. Ali. “For these men, I recommend gynecomastia surgery.”

Gynecomastia refers to men who have excess breast and fat tissue in their chest area. In a culture where men are expected to take their shirts off at the pool or on the basketball court, having what are commonly referred to as “man boobs” can cause extreme bouts of embarrassment.

This surgery is performed with limited incisions and involves liposuction to remove the excess fat. The best part? There is very little downtime.

Mommy Makeover for a Fat Loss

For women who wish to lose weight and get their trim bodies back after having children, Dr. Ali recommends the “Mommy Makeover” combination of procedures. This may involve CoolSculpting, liposuction and/or a tummy tuck – and in some cases a breast lift or breast augmentation.

“By getting all the procedures done at one time, patients can save money, reduce downtime and lose the weight they desire, all while looking and feeling their best,” says Dr. Ali.
