Cryolypolysis or CoolSculpting for fat removal on hips

CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) by Zeltiq can be used off-label for 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.

Coolsculpting for Removing Large Amounts of Fat on the Hips.
Coolsculpting May Be Very Effective for Removing Large Amounts of Fat on the Hips. However, the excess fatty tissue must be soft and able to fit properly inside the CoolSculpting applicator containing the cooling panels. If the outer thigh fatty tissue is too fibrous or hard, it may be resistant to fitting inside the applicator for proper cooling/destruction of the fat.
