Can I have CoolSculpting around my knee after a total knee replacement 8 years ago?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, Coolsculpting can be used for fat reduction in the knees. In our practice, we've been using Kybella and getting good results for knee fat. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert to determine the best course of treatment for you. Best, Dr. Emer

Glenn Murray, MBBS · Answer

Yes, the CoolSculpting applicators used to treat the subcutaneous tissue of the distal knee should be safe as they will not directly treat over the knee.  I would recommend that you book a consultation at an experienced cosmetic clinic to assess whether you’re a suitable candidate for this treatment.

We use the petite or mini applicator, off label, to target the fat around the knees. This works very well for the right candidate. Because the hardware is not in the direct path of the treatment, it should not be effected by the treatment. In your case, you should insist that a licensed physician evaluate you prior to treatment just to make sure that you are a good candidate.

Reza Momeni, MD, FACS · Answer

We have had some limited success with coolsculpting around the knees.  It's not always possible.  In good hands, and for the right candidates, the results can be phenomenal, so be sure to select a board-certified experienced plastic surgeon to evaluate and treat you.

Joshua L. Fox, MD · Answer

There should be no reason you would not be able to treat the area around the replacement. I would avoid treating over the scar itself, but the fat pockets around the area could be treated.
