I have been considering Coolsculpting due to a lower abdominal pouch that will not budge. I recently began a strict fitness & food plan I have & it has slimmed out my stomach considerably, but the pouch is still there. Just smaller. This tends to happen every time I am on strict eating plan, but as soon as I break it even slightly or miss a workout, the pooch is back. Should I put back on a bit of weight before the procedure to ensure a good draw by increasing the size of the fat cells?

Answer: Weight Gain before Coolsculpting not recommended
Thanks for your question. Around 25% of the fat cells in the treated area will die immediately after your treatment. It takes 4 months for all of the cells to be flushed from your body. If you have a moderate amount of fat you can be treated again around 1 month of your first treatment.
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can take a hot bath after Coolsculpting treatment. The damage to the fat cells occurred during your treatment. Best of Luck!
I appreciate your question.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz
