Zeltiq for Outer Thighs?
I'm 5ft, 95lbs w/pockets of fat on my inner/outer thighs making my figure look very disproportionate. Clothes shopping is hard, as my upper body is a different size than my lower. I am terrified of complications from any kind of surgery and have been looking into Zeltiq. I have the 2 in of fat drs say you need in order for the head to connect. I've heard claims that Zeltiq works great on outer thighs but haven't come across any photos of people who've had success with it. Can anyone post some?

Coolsculpting needs the device to actually "fit" the area
From your pictures i think you are a better candidate for liposuction. small volume, small cannula liposuction can be performed here that can yield very nice results. that being said, sometimes this area will fit into a CS applicator and will respond well to the treatment.

Zeltiq off-label for outer thighs
You would need an in-person examination to determine if the breadth, location and thickness of the fat deposit is amenable to one of the two smaller currently available applicators that are used for CoolSculpting. Some patients have obtained good results. Unfortunately there is no great way to treat asymmetry compared to liposuction.

Zeltiq Coolsculpting for the Thighs
Greetings~
From the photos you posted it doesn't appear that there is a distinct pocket of fat on the outer thigh that the Zeltiq applicator could easily not only attach to but actually suction that tissue into the chamber sufficiently to treat it. Treated areas must be soft enough and malleable enough to be pulled into the chamber. Inner thighs tend to lend themselves to this procedure better than outer. For an honest opinion, you'd be better off having a face to...

The results of coolsculpting on the thighs is based upon proper patient selection. This is an off label area and a thigh piece is in development by the company. Many properly selected patients are treated on the thighs and show excellent results.

Zeltiq for the Outer Thighs
Dear M5855,
The distribution of excess fatty tissue you are describing is very common in women. It is often referred to as the "violin deformity" as the curvatures of the violin mirror that of the female outer thighs and hips. Tumescent liposculpture using a microcannular technique has been used to improve these contours. Zeltiq can also be effective for treating excess fatty tissue in the outer thighs; however, the fatty tissue must be pliable enough to be able to be drawn...
