CoolSculpting following Liposuction

In my pratice, we will not perform CoolSculpting on patients who have had body contouring surgery within a year from another practice without a release from their surgeon. What you are describing - divets from too much fat taken from liposuction is probably best treated with fat grafting and not with CoolSculpting

Coolsculpting will not correct a bad lipo result

Coolsculpting will not correct a bad liposuction result. It works for small bulges of fat that can be pinched between the fingers. It is excellent and consistent in these cases.

CoolSculpting Treatment

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Your doctor will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation

Best for you to visit an office that performs Coolsculpting and have an in person consultation to get the most precise advice. Best wishes.
