I'm at a wellness resort in SE Asia for a few weeks and returning to Australia. I had Vanquish in my first week and have big, hard lumps in my abdomen, red angry patches of skin and quite a bit of pain. Now they are offering cool sculpting but I'm worried about going ahead especially if we can't refer back to the treating doctor because we will be in another country.

Answer: Is "wellness resort" code for surgical tourism? If you have hard lumps and angry red patches of skin, undergoing Coolsculpting is NOT recommended. This could lead to skin loss, permanent scarring, and compounding the problems you already have. (Even if they offer the second treatment for "free.")You already have had (too much) RF energy delivered to the skin to create hard lumps (scar and/or edema), as well as enough to the skin to create a first degree burn.Freezing the tissues without first allowing everything to heal is a bit like using boiling water to treat frostbite--wrong and harmful, just in the opposite direction, as in freezing after "microwaving" the skin.This has nothing to do with "referral back" to the treating doctor; this is simply bad advice. Just what kind of "doctor" is advocating this?BTW, alone (without the previous problems), Coolsculpting would be fine for both travel and treating this area of fat. But why would you consider following the recommendation of a practitioner whose "first choice" caused you the problems you describe, and then accept "second choice?"Just say no, and wait till you're back home where you can see a real plastic surgeon. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Answer: Flying after Cool Sculpting I inform my patients that it is fine to fly after a Cool Sculpting treatment, but with the other conditions you have going on it would be advisable to wait until you return home and see a board certified doctor that has experience with Cool Sculpting.
