Thank you for your question. I have not seen any studies in regards to this specifically but I do not think that this is a contraindication to the procedure. I would also suggest that you speak to your cardiologist prior to receiving the treatment.\ I hope this helps.

The applicator that fits the area best to be treated is the applicator that works the best in CoolSculpting. A larger applicator than the one selected by the provider may not get the best vacuum seal on the area which would prevent a good intake of fatty tissue and not provide the best result...
