Many patients today ask: Should I take Ozempic? Should I get liposuction? Or should I try CoolSculpting? In this video, Dr. David Rapaport, board-certified plastic surgeon in NYC, explains how to decide between weight loss medications, non-surgical fat reduction, and surgical body contouring.

Dr. Rapaport explains:
• When to consider GLP-1 weight loss medications like Ozempic or Wegovy
• Why you should delay liposuction if you’re actively losing weight
• When CoolSculpting can help with small problem areas
• Why liposuction is the best solution for fatty disproportions — stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet or exercise
