What Is Fat Reduction?

Fat reduction is a method for getting rid of unwanted areas of fat that refuse to fade despite diet and exercise. While there are options for surgical removal of fat, many patients are unable or unwilling to have surgery.

Instead, there are numerous nonsurgical and minimally invasive treatment methods for fat reduction based on different kinds of technology. This includes using ultrasound, cryolipolysis (freezing fat), injections, radiofrequency, laser, and vacuum massage. So you’ve taken all the right steps - improved diet, consistent exercise - and see the weight drop from your body.

However, you find that there are still areas of fat in your body resistant to these healthy changes. No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to eliminate them. Board-certified Boston plastic surgeon Joseph Russo, M.D. and his team specialize in a range of fat reduction procedures. He can help you get rid of those stubborn fat deposits and finally achieve the body you’ve been working for.

Fat Reduction Procedures

There are many ways to achieve your goals via fat reduction, so you will need to carefully consider which one might be best for you. Make sure to discuss your goals with our aesthetic experts in order to pick the best option for you. We offer four main non-surgical options for your fat reduction treatment.

CoolSculpting

This is an FDA-approved treatment that uses cryolipolysis to freeze your fat cells. This allows your body to naturally eliminate these dead cells permanently from the target area.

Benefits of Fat Reduction

Aside from achieving the body contours you’ve been working on, there are several benefits to non-surgical fat reduction. You don’t need any general anesthesia.

There will also be no incisions or scarring after treatment. The results are gradual, which means you don’t have to advertise to the world you’re having work done. Even better, the results from fat reduction are permanent as long as you maintain your weight.

Recovery from Fat Reduction

Fat Reduction FAQ

Non-surgical fat reduction is particularly effective for someone who is already at or near their goal weight with good skin elasticity. You must also be able to follow instructions for dietary restrictions as needed.

Not really. While there can be some discomfort during a procedure, most of the time any pain you feel will be mild and come from tenderness or bruising after treatment. Keep in mind that the doctor will apply a topical anesthetic to numb your skin for any injections.

Non-surgical fat reduction is normally considered an elective procedure and so insurance companies will not cover the cost. However, you can get financing or look into payment options if needed.
