Thank you for your excellent question. It is still safe to undergo a CoolSculpting procedure, however the applicator cannot be placed in the exact location of the hernia. You can mention the umbilical hernia at your CoolSculpting consultation, and voice any other concerns that you may have in regards to the procedure. Best of luck with your CoolSculpting experience!
CoolSculpting should not be performed over the area of a hernia, as it could worsen the hernia. It may be possible to treat around a hernia though.
