SculpSure is one of the safest and most effective fat reduction treatments available today. More and more people each year are seeking out the treatment to help them reach their body contouring goals without surgery. But before you rush to the nearest salon or spa advertising SculpSure near you, there are a few things you should know about choosing a provider.

In this blog post, I’ll discuss 3 reasons it’s worth trusting a plastic surgeon for your SculpSure body contouring treatment here in New York.

SculpSure Follows the Same Aesthetic Principles as Liposuction

Not all SculpSure results are equal; creating an attractive outcome requires special knowledge of anatomy and aesthetics. Like liposuction, SculpSure is a tool. Different providers may use that tool in different ways, and the results will reflect that, for better or worse.

A surgeon who has experience contouring the body with liposuction will have a trained eye for creating attractive results with SculpSure. That’s why I meet personally with every SculpSure patient at my practice and design a custom treatment plan that will give them the best results.

A Plastic Surgeon Can Discuss Surgical Options for You, If Appropriate

While SculpSure may seem like the perfect body contouring treatment for you, you may actually be a better candidate for liposuction or another procedure. In some cases, surgery turns out to be a more effective way to achieve the results you’re looking for.

Consulting with a plastic surgeon means you can discuss the full range of surgical and nonsurgical procedures to determine the right one for you. (Of course, if avoiding surgery is a priority for you, your provider will take that into account.)

Your best option may even be a treatment plan that includes both surgical and nonsurgical options—liposuction and laser skin tightening, for example. When you choose a practice that provides both, you can be sure you’re getting it all from the same qualified provider.

Working With a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Provides a Higher Level of Safety

As a plastic surgeon, I oversee other qualified members of my team, such as nurses who may perform the treatment. I work only with aesthetics professionals who are trained and credentialed to administer SculpSure treatments safely.

While you may see SculpSure or similar devices cropping up in day spas, it’s important to make sure these devices are safe and genuine. Board-certified surgeons have access to authentic devices equipped with safety features to prevent burning or overheating, as opposed to off-market devices that may not be FDA cleared.
