Coolsculpting Results Change After Pregnancy?
I had Coolsculpting done 2 months ago with a small amount of change, I am considering having children in the coming year. How will this affect my results? Will new fat cells grow in the area treated or will the ones that were left behind, only expand? Thank you.

CoolSculpting can be done before pregnancy
If one is planning to conceive in the future, one does not have to avoid having CoolSculpting for fat reduction. This is not the same like avoiding a tummy tuck until after you finish distending your abdomen with future pregnancies. The fat cells that are destroyed with CoolSculpting freezing, will be permanently eradicated, but this is only 20% of the original volume after one treatment. The remaining cells can engorge more fat if your dietary calories exceed your energy requirements....

Changes more dependent on weight gain.
Hello,
With regards to changes in your cool sculpting results. Pregnancy itself will not impact the body contouring results if weight gain is kept in check. There has been a recent AMA recommendation that normal weight women should really maintain their weight during pregnancy and only gain weight if they are underweight to begin with.
All the best,

CoolSculpting Results After Pregnancy
When you have your CoolSculpting treatment, the affected fat cells will be eliminated. As long as you maintain your weight with your normal diet and exercise, your long-term results should remain stable. Becoming pregnant will not affect the number of fat cells you have, but it will clearly result in weight gain and an increase in the size of your stomach.

Coolsculpting results and later pregnancy
Coolsculpting removes fat cells permanently after treatment and thus during pregnancy you will not regain those lost cells. The shape and elasticity of your body obviously undergoes changes during and after that may or may not impact your appearance.

All fat cells removed with Coolsculpting are gone forever
All fat cells removed with Coolsculpting are gone forever. Needless to say, your stomach will enlarge during pregnancy, but it will be because of your new baby – not from new fat cells.

CoolSculpting is reducing unwanted fat, pregnancy may make changes in skin laxity moreso than unwanted fat in abdomen
Hello and thank you for sharing your question. Planning pregnancies and working around these physical changes that occur with childbearing is common conversation both in surgical consultations as well as non-surgical treatment plans. If you were specifically talking about the need to tighten loose skin, I would immediately advise that you wait to proceed with treatment until you've had children and are post-pregnancy. CoolSculpting results from a single treatment average 20-25% reduction to...
