Had elevated liver profiles for a couple of years. Although back to normal, still remains on the higher end of scale. Would cool sculpting pose any danger to my liver reason being maybe some of the fat would be metabolized by it?

CoolSculpting and Liver Levels...

There is no contraindications to having a CoolSculpting treatment with a history of elevated liver levels. This treatment does not affect serum lipid levels nor liver function. Please do not hesitate to tell your provider about your history prior to your treatment. I am sure he/she will agree with us as well. Hope this helps.

Elevated Liver Levels and Coolsculpting

Hi, I think the main question is to know why you have a history of elevated liver tests. If you have a history of Hepatitis C, it is related to a disease cold cold cryoglobulins which can be worsened by Coolsculpting. If you have a history of elevated liver tests and are cleared by your primary care doctor, you should be able to have Coolsculpting. The procedure itself does not cause any elevation of liver tests. Best, Dr. Liu

Coolsculpting Does Not Affect Serum Lipid Levels or Liver Function Tests

Dear Miscurious, Great question! Coolsculpting does not affect serum lipid levels or liver function tests. A recent study of forty patients showed no change in lipid levels or liver tests when tested at day 1 and weeks 1,4,8 and 12 after having their love handles treated. This was also found to be true in a subset of patients that were tested at numerous other time-points following treatment. This is not surprising because the reduction of fat cells occurs at a very slow rate,... more

Coolsculpting in patients with past history of liver disease

There is no contraindication to Coolsculpting for those patients with a prior history of abnormal liver function tests. There are very few contraindications but you should discuss them with your physician upon consultation.

CoolSculpting does not seem to affect liver issues

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. see video
