COMMENT ON THE SPECIFICS OF THISS CASE. >>> SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE NO MATTER HOW MUCH DIET OR EXERCISE FOR MANY NEW MOMS, IT FEELS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET RID OF THAT STUBBORN BELLY FAT AFTER HAVING A BABY. BUT NOW THERE'S A NEW OPTION THAT PROMISES TO FREEZE AWAY THE FAT WITHOUT SURGERY. QUESTION IS, HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO GOING UNDER THE KNIFE FOR A TUMMY TUCK AND WHAT ABOUT THE COST? CHANNEL 2 ANCHOR RACHEL McNEILL HAS TH ANSWERS >> Reporter: COOL SCULPTING WORKS LIKE A VACUUM CLEANER. WHILE IT SUCKS IN FAT, THE TISSUE CHILLS TO 39 DEGREES, CAUSING IT TO CRYSTALLIZE. >> THEY FOUND A WAY TO COOL THE FAT BUT NOT KILL THE SKIN. >> Reporter: SHE WAS TREATED ON HER THIGHS AND STOMACH. >> IT'S LIKE A NUMBING FEELING THAT JUST CONTINUES TO GET COLDER AND COLDER AND COLDER TO THE POINT OF WHAT PROBABLY HYPOTHERM WERE FEE LIKE. >> Reporter: THE PAIN LASTS ABOUT SEVEN MINUTES OF THE HOURLONG TREATMENT.

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE YOU KNOW, A WOW FACTOR. >> Reporter: FOR MORE DRAMATIC RESULTS I PATIENTS MIGHT CONSIDER THE TUMMY TUCK. SOMETIMES CALLED THE UPY MUMMY SURGE — THE YUMMY MUMMY SURGE RICKS. >> IT'S THE MOM WHO GOES TO THE GYM FIVE DAYS A WEEK AND CAN'T GET RID OF THE LOOSE SKIN. >> Reporter: LIKE CHRISTINE, SHE SAYS AFTER SURGERY, SHE PHYSICALLY IMPROVED BY 90%. >> EVERYTHING ISN'T GOING TO BE PERFECT AND THAT'S HOW IT WAS — IT WAS BETTER THAN IT WAS AND THAT'S HOW I VIEWED IT.
