CoolSculpting in Fairfield County, Connecticut

CoolSculpting vs. Liposuction

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical technique designed to freeze and remove fat in the abdomen, lower back, chin, and thighs. This FDA-approved procedure uses controlled Cryolipolysis® cooling technology to freeze stubborn fat cells below the skin’s surface. As the fat cells die off, they are processed and removed through the body’s natural elimination process. Although CoolSculpting requires a licensed professional to perform the procedure in a safe and sterilized environment, it is often performed by a medical professional unfamiliar with the aesthetics of the body, such as a dermatologist or internist. Having your procedure performed by someone other than a plastic surgeon increases your risks for complications and unreliable results.

Traditional liposuction is performed with local anesthesia by a trained and qualified surgeon with extensive experience in body contouring. As a board-certified and highly experienced surgeon, Dr. Passaretti performs this procedure using the tumescent technique to deliver lasting, well-defined, and reliable results. During the procedure, a solution of saline and lidocaine is injected into the treatment area to numb and firm the unwanted fat. He will then insert a small tube through tiny incisions to suction out the unwanted fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. Traditional liposuction gives more value for the dollars spent and, in most cases, can be completed in one procedure with dependable results.
