Should I take a Xanax before this procedure?

By Madagascar on 14 Jul 2011

I'm a bit claustrophobic and I'm worried I might get freaked out having the suction device attached to me for an hour. Should I take a Xanax beforehand? Did any of you do this? Also, I'm wondering if any of you live in Manhattan--if so, which docs do you recommend?

Hi Madagascar,

We've had a few NYC CoolSculpting reviews. Here's a list (reviews are on the bottom right side):

As for the Xanax, pain can be hit or miss with CoolSculpting, so you may not need it. It's probably best to ask your doctor, since s/he'll be aware of any other meds you're taking too.
