Will Zelteq Work for an Obese Patient with Concentrated Fat?
Hi, I am currently 5"11 and weigh around 225 pounds. But the majority of fat is concentrated on my belly and my breast. My hands and my legs are quite thin, the legs more muscular than fat. I was simply wondering, since the main goal of Zelteq is to lose fat in areas, would it work on my belly? I already know that my double chin isn't going anywhere, but if I can just go from a 38 jeans size to a 36 or *god forbids* 34, I would be overjoyed Background blurred for super paranoia. THX!

Zeltiq will reduce fat
Zeltiq will work on fat that is outside your abdominal wall. Therefore, if the fat that is on your lower belly is just under the skin, you may be able to reduce it with Zeltiq. To see if you're a candidate for Zeltiq, tighten your stomach muscles as tight as you can, and feel the area. If you can feel softness under the skin between the skin and the hard muscle, then this is fat. Sometimes, people carry the fat inside the belly, in which case you will just feel...

Zeltiq will reduce fat by 20-25%
Thank you for your question.
Each coolsculpting treatment reduces the area treated by 20-25% and some patients need multiple treatments. Ideally, you should be examined by a doctor who performs this procedure so that they can see if you would be a good candidate for the procedure. IF you are able to "pinch" an area of fat along the abdominal area, then most likely you will be a good candidate.
Best Wishes!

Coolsculpting is best for concentrated belly fat.
Coolsculpting will reduce the fat that sits between your muscles and skin. It will effectively reduce the fat layer that is pulled into the applicator about 20%. Your provider will need to review how many treatments you will need to achieve your desired result.

Zeltiq for concentrated areas of fat
Greetings~
Zeltiq is great for concentrated areas of fat such as the stomach and love handles; it is not however a substitute for diet and exercise. If your weight is not stable or you fall in to bad eating habits after having Zeltiq you will gain the weight and fat back. Not all the fat cells in a treated area are removed so if a person gains weight those cells can expand and grow. If your areas of fat are able to be pinched or grabbed currently then they should be...

CoolSculping works for men
I believe you would be a candidate for CoolSculpting based on your pictures. In fact, I have had my abdomen treated twice and also my "man boobs". It is not as dramatic as liposuction, but not as expensive either and there is NO downtime!

Zeltiq Coolsculpting works for fat reduction
Every patient should be evaluated by a dermatologist experienced with Coolsculpting. Not all patients have the type and distribution of fat to be a great candidate for this procedure.

Zeltiq can help reduce fat in obese patients
Although Zeltiq can reduce fat in someone who is overweight, the reduction may not be as evident as someone who is in better shape overall. Zeltiq is not a replacement for diet and exercise so these should be maintained in the midst of and after the Zeltiq CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting works well on localized fat.
You look like a very good candidate for CoolSculpting by Zeltiq. The procedure consistently and reliably reduces localized fat in the flanks and abdomen as well as any area that you can "pinch an inch" or more. I think you will be very happy with one or two treatments in the desired area.

Fat that can be pinched can be treated with coolsclupting
I think the best way to determine whether you are a candidate without having a formal consultation is to ask yourself if you can really grab the fat and to some extent lift off the abdomen. The device works by suctioing the fat into a small chamber and if the fat you desire to treat is not very mobile or suctionable (if that is a word), then you should expect that it would be difficult for the device to give you the results you desire.

Coolsculpting will help reduce the fat of the abdomen and breast area in men
Dear writer, Coolsculpting will help reduce the fat of the abdomen and breast area in men. Your lower abdomen and breast area appear to qualify for the coolsculpting procedure. I agree with the comments my colleagues have made regarding the fat of the abdomen being outside the muscle wall in order for it to be treated. Additionally, the fatty tissue of the abdomen should not be fibrous or hard to 'mold' and should fit nicely into the Zeltiq applicator in order for you to have a good...

CoolSculpting works for localized fat reduction
The fat that overhangs your your underwears and the excess breast tissue appears to be a treatable with the Zeltiq CoolSculpting device. As Dr Jacobs indicated, fat needs to outisde the muscle tissue in order for the CoolSculpting device to be effective, so I would want you to be realistic about the effect of CoolSculpting on the upper abdomen.

CoolSculpting fat reduction will definitely help the chest area and abdomen
However, the fat in the abdomen needs to be on the outside of the muscle. You can also do multiple treatments on the same site, you just need to wait 8 weeks in between treatments.
