The buttock should have fat

In my opinion, the buttock should have fat, and my worry with any treatment of the buttock is that of "overcorrection" and the unnatural appearance that this may lead to. treating the area below the buttock, the "banana roll" is safer in my opinion.

CoolSculpting of the buttock area

Thank you for your question. It is best to have an examination to see if the localized area that you are concerned about can "fit" into the CoolSculpting Applicator.... if it is a localized area and the applicator fits correctly around the area, then yes you can have it treated and there will be 20-25% reduction after 1 treatment. I hope this helps. see video

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq for the buttocks

If there is a localized pouch of fat on the buttock around which the applicator of Zeltiq will fit, then the doctor can recommend the treatment off-label. In the future, if applicators are made in many different shapes, it would allow the physicians to treat a wider variety of shapes. see video

Coolscupting can be used on the buttocks

Coolsculpting for Buttocks

Greetings Fey~ Though the pictures you have posted are helpful, without seeing you it would be difficult to say with any certainty. If the fat or area you wish to treat is quite firm and is difficult to suck into the treatment chamber and for the applicator to attach to properly then you may not get an ideal result. The fat would have to be soft enough and malleable enough to be drawn up into the applicator and make sufficient contact with the panels that freeze the fat. So the answer... more

Zeltiq on the buttocks

Coolscultping or zeltiq in certain circumstances can be used on the posterior buttocks or as some people refer to the area as "saddle bags". It is most important that you be examined first and if appropriate, have the procedure performed by a physician well skilled in this treatment. In my experience, those that respond best to the treatment in this area are those with some degree of a fat pocket as well as some laxity, in order for the suction device to attach best to the area more
