It does sound like you would be a good candidate for the Viveve procedure. We are seeing significant improvement in bladder control in our patients who have had the Viveve procedure. "I can jump on the trampoline again!" is a frequent response. This technology is different from the other devices on the market, due to the radiofrequency heating and cooling affect on the tissue. This allows cooling of the vaginal mucosa (tissue), but a deeper penetration of heat into the layer where collagen forms, stimulating more collagen formation. Collagen is like the building blocks of tissue, so more formation results in increase in tone an support of the vagina and bladder. Hope this helps!
Your acne will not necessarily come back worse if you stop the Spironolactone, although it may return. Spironoloactone is actually a mild diuretic (water pill) which also blocks androgens (such as testosterone) at the follicle. I use this medication quite a bit for help with acne, as well as unwanted facial hair. In addition, there are typically no side effects to be concerned about. Hope this helps!
It is not dangerous to have Cool Sculpting performed if you have Osteoporosis. The technology for Cool Sculpting targets the fat cells only, so there is no danger or effect to the skin, blood vessels, nerves or deeper tissues such as bone. Hope this helps!
It is no uncommon for patients to TEMPORARILY gain a small amount of weight following the CoolSculpting procedure. This is related to a small amount of water retention during the healing process, but should resolve in a short timeframe. Dr. K
Cool Sculpting will not damage your kidney. The fat cells that are destroyed are taken out by macrophages in the blood stream. Macrophages are like "scavengers" which remove cellular debris and foreign particles in the system. Therefore, no harmful effects occur to other organs in the body.
