Will Coolsculpting on my Admonen in Any Way Affect my Fertility?
I would like to have coolsculpting done on my abdomen, mostly my stomach. I have not had children yet and would like to in the next few years. Will this procedure affect my fertility, ovarian reserve, or any of my reproductive organs? Seeing this is a relatively new procedure with no long term studies completed, we might not know what, if any, are the long term effects. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Kerri

It is "freezing" at a temperature that is specific for the fat molecules in the fat cells. If it was used incorrectly then there is a risk of frostbite to the skin but still no risk of damaging your internal organs. Good luck!
