Diabetes, CoolSculpting and infusion sets?

November 16, 2017
Asked By:loffkat in 18077

I am a diabetic on an Insulin pump who uses her lower and for infusion set placement. I want to get cosculpting but want to know how long I should wait before using my abdomen for my infusion site location. Also,there is minimal internally scarring from older I fusion sets (little bumps under the skin), will that pose a problem or become more apparent after the procedure?
