CoolSculpting®
Coolsculpting in Denver, CO area
What if we said you could lose those stubborn love handles or that bulge around your abdomen without having to undergo surgery? With CoolSculpting, now available in Denver, you can do just that. Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Mouchantat, is able to trim and reshape your midsection and upper thighs using the revolutionary non-surgical CoolSculpting body contouring procedure.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
Every year, it seems like technology finds yet another way around the need for knives and surgery, and CoolSculpting is one of the newest, most popular examples of this innovation. CoolSculpting utilizes a fat reducing process known as cryolipolysis to safely eliminate areas of excess fat over time without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.
During the CoolSculpting procedure, Dr. Mouchantat uses a specially designed wand to deliver targeted deep-cooling to a specific area of the body and induce your body’s natural, fat cell elimination process – simply put, the treatment freezes away the unwanted fat.
The procedure itself takes only about one hour per treated area. During your treatment, you are free to read, work from a laptop, or even watch a show from your phone or tablet. Depending on your unique situation, Dr. Mouchantat may recommend additional treatments over the next couple of weeks.
Years ago, scientists at Harvard University observed that some children who ate popsicles got dimples in their cheeks. The scientists—Dieter Manstein, MD and R. Rox Anderson, MD—realized that the popsicles were freezing and eliminating small pockets of fat cells.
The idea that cold can target fat cells—without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue—was the insight behind Cryolipolysis®, the proven science on which the CoolSculpting procedure is based.
The CoolSculpting procedure safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. Treated fat cells are crystalized (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.
Is CoolSculpting Right for Me?
CoolSculpting is a procedure for men and women who are struggling to lose small amounts of stubborn fat around the abdomen or thighs despite a healthy lifestyle. Not everyone can adopt the same intense diets that athletes and bodybuilders put themselves through, and only so much time can be devoted to going to the gym and cooking every single, calorie-conscious meal. For many, despite their best efforts, there will always be some problem areas – CoolSculpting may be the solution.
Patients who would normally not consider cosmetic treatment or are not ready to undergo invasive surgery often consult with Dr. Mouchantat about their options with CoolSculpting. Because there is no downtime involved, CoolSculpting is an attractive alternative to surgery for those wanting to slim down, but haven’t seen the results they want from just diet and exercise alone.
You should also be aware that CoolSculpting won’t provide the same instantaneous results as a surgical procedure like liposuction. The freezing process will take some time, and you may need to undergo a series of treatments to achieve optimal results. However, as time goes on, you will notice dramatic improvements to the shape and contours of your body – all without needing to put your life on hold or spend time recovering from surgery. Long-lasting results of your CoolSculpting treatment can be maintained with an ongoing healthy lifestyle.

Though in the past, plastic surgery has been far more common among women, a rapidly increasing number of men have been seeking help from various surgical procedures as a means to refine and improve areas of their body they are unhappy with. Dr. Mouchantat has helped several male patients achieve their desired appearance with male plastic surgery in Denver. He understands that men seeking plastic surgery want the benefits of these procedures without having to compromise their masculinity and strives to provide each patient with results that look completely natural.
Below are some plastic surgery and non-surgical treatments that have become extremely common among men.
Fat Reduction and Body Contouring for Men
You can’t always get the body you want with just diet and exercise. Many men who regularly work out at the gym and eat relatively healthy foods can still struggle to lose stubborn fat in specific areas. While visceral fat (the fat surrounding the body’s organs) responds well to diet and exercise, subcutaneous fat (stubborn layers just beneath the skin) can often become resistant to traditional weight loss methods and are a source of much frustration.
Men who are unhappy with this stubborn fat may benefit from plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction, or non-surgical fat reduction procedures like CoolSculpting.
Excess skin is another common problem that cannot be fixed in the gym or the kitchen. After losing a large amount of weight, you may be stuck with excess areas of hanging skin throughout the body. Dr. Mouchantat offers various body contouring after weight loss surgeries (such as a tummy tuck) to help remove this excess skin and tighten and reshape your masculine form.
Gynecomastia is another common issue that Dr. Mouchantat sees among his male patients. When men struggle with excess breast tissue resulting in a feminine appearance of the chest, the condition is known as gynecomastia. A male breast reduction procedure with Dr. Mouchantat can help to reduce excess breast tissue and fat to achieve a taut and stronger appearance of the chest.
Facial Procedures and Treatments for Men
Facial plastic surgery is becoming more popular among men. As the traditional workplace continues to lean toward a more youthful and active culture, men are seeking out targeted facial surgeries, such as eyelid surgery, neck lifts, and non-surgical treatments to maintain a more youthful appearance.
The signs of aging can also simply take a toll on a man’s self-confidence. Dr. Mouchantat will speak with you to develop a completely personalized treatment plan that will help provide you with the natural-looking rejuvenation you desire.

Next Page »Mommy Makeover
Physical changes that occur during pregnancy can produce permanent effects on the overall shape and tone of your body. The skin may stretch or sag, breasts may lose volume or shape, and pockets of fat may persist, despite your efforts with diet and exercise.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
The term “mommy makeover” is used to describe a combination of body contouring and breast enhancement procedures that are all performed in the same surgery for maximum results and minimal recovery time.
The goal of a mommy makeover is to reverse some of the side effects of childbearing. Many women elect mommy makeovers to:
- Restore lost breast volume
- Raise or firm sagging breasts
- Tighten and tone the abdomen
- Remove pockets of excess fat
Mommy Makeover Options
One of the best things about a mommy makeover is that the options are virtually endless. A mommy makeover can be customized to target your problem areas. Through a combination of breast enhancement and body contouring procedures, a mommy makeover can turn back time, and help restore your pre-baby body.
Your Mommy Makeover may include:
The Mommy Makeover Procedure
Because a mommy makeover procedure is tailored to fit your needs, the details of surgery vary greatly among patients. The length of your surgery and the anesthesia used will depend on your cosmetic goals.
During surgery, Dr. Mouchantat will use surgical techniques that reshape, tighten and tone the body. Excess fat deposits will be removed to create a more slender and elegant body profile, while breast enhancement techniques will be used to lift and restore volume to the breasts. Following surgery, all incisions will be sutured and surgical dressings will be applied.
Mommy Makeover Aftercare
The length of your recovery will depend on the number of procedures performed during your mommy makeover. Immediately following surgery, swelling and bruising will obscure your results. It is likely that you will need to wear compression garments for several weeks to minimize swelling and promote total body healing.
The final outcome of your mommy makeover will become apparent as swelling and bruising gradually subside over the course of several weeks. Mobility may be limited for several days, but most normal activities, including work, may be resumed within one to two weeks. More strenuous activities, such as exercise, may be restricted for several weeks. Any scars present following your surgery will begin to fade and flatten gradually over several months.
