Body contouring has 2 options:
1) Invasive, which uses Liposuction either by Needle method or Laser-assisted. These are currently the most popular and effective, but the downtime such as swelling and bruising can be an issue. They can last up to 6-10 weeks.
2) Non-invasive. These include HIFU (Liposonix being a popular brand), Radiofrequency, Fat-freeze or Cryolipolysis. These have minimal downtime and when used appropriately and in combination, the results can be quite satisfactory.
