Is Coolsculpting Safe for People with Prior History of Elevated Liver Profiles?

Thank you for your question.

There is no contraindication to have this procedure performed if you had previously had elevated liver profiles. Your treated doctor may want some information from the physician who has been treating you but otherwise should be OK.

I hope this helps. 

Dear Miscurious,

 

Without knowing the cause of your once elevated liver profiles, I cannot confirm that cool sculpting is safe in your case.

Nonetheless, if the liver issue was caused by elevated fat levels your blood due to a given diet for example then the loss of fat through cool sculpting will barely elevate the serum fat levels of the patients.

It is important to note that the fat contained in the adipocytes (fat cells) will slowly get into the bloodstream without causing a significant elevation of the serum fat levels; the evidence is within the fact that it takes weeks to recognize the full results of the treatment.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Best of luck.

The freezing of the fat and processing of fat cells in CoolSculpting does not appear to affect the lipid levels or damage livers as the freezing kills the fat cells rather than exploding them and liberating fat into the blood stream. The dead fat cells get metabolized over a slow period.
