CoolSculpting while pregnant?

Zeltiq and Pregnancy

Due to the staggering expenses NO device can be checked for safety in pregnancy. So the answer to your question is a qualified "I don't really know".

I would not do coolscupting while pregnant

Since coolscupting is an elective procedure, it is best to wait until after your pregnancy is over. While doing IVF you may feel bloated or swollen from the injections, so I would recommend waiting. see video

CoolSculpting is safe prior to starting IVF

There should be no reason that you couldn't do Zeltiq's CoolSculpting prior to starting IVF. There is no deleterious effect that would present a problem for your medications or treatment.

Coolsculpting and IVF

Thank you for your question. I do not think that Coolsculpting would affect the IVF but would probably recommend that you are certain that you are not pregnant before having the Coolsculpting procedure performed. You may want to consider waiting until your pregnancy is completed since with pregnancy, you may put on some weight, and have the Coolsculpting Procedure performed at that time. I hope this helps. see video
