Is Cryolipolysis or Cool Sculpting Good for Removing Large Amounts of Fat on the Hips?

If you have an excessive amount of fat, liposuction would be more effective.  However, if there is a focal bulge of fat, and if the CoolSculpting applicator fits well over the area, then with several non-invasive treatments, you might be pleased with the fat reduction that Zeltiq causes by permanently killing some of those fat cells. Some doctors have found that using more than one applicator in an overlapping pattern can help reduce the amount of fat better than with one solitary treatment.  Repeated treatments can be given every six weeks or more. There can be side effects, and although they are tolerable, make sure you discuss them in detail with your doctor.Our NYC patients continue to be very happy with their Zeltiq CoolSculpting results.

Coolsculpting has come out with an applicator for the hips.  You may see a reduction, but it may take more than one treatment if you have large volumes there.  I would recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if Coolsculpting is an option for you versus liposuction which is the gold standard to reshape this area.

Thanks for your question. CoolSculpting tends to work the best on smaller fatty pockets. For larger amounts of fat Liposuction may be a better option. I would advise you to meet with a Board Certified Surgeon to discuss both options. Best wishes.
