I know that with liposuction, with increasing weight the degree of fat accumulation in a previously treated area is proportionately less than in untreated areas, and after liposuction, relatively less fat accumulates in treated areas compared to untreated areas. Is this true for CoolSculpting also?

Answer: What if I gain weight after CoolSculpting? Hello alpinesirk, Thanks for your great question. Yes, you are correct that if you were to gain weight after any fat reduction procedure, whether it be liposuction or cryolipolysis with CoolSculpt you will add those pounds preferentially to areas where fat was not previously removed/destroyed. Since CoolSculpting is not a weight reduction treatment most patients, if appropriately selected, will not be prone or allow themselves to gain a significant amount of weight were this will be a noticeable issue.

Answer: Yes, when you gain weight with Coolsculpting it will accumulate first in the untreated areas. Thank you for your question. Yes, when you gain weight with Coolsculpting it will accumulate first in the untreated areas. Typically, we see a diffuse of weight gain everywhere. This includes the treated areas. You will notice less accumulation of fat in the treated areas because the number of fat cells that can expand and contract is less. I recommend you have a consultation with an expert to determine if you are a good candidate and to discuss your concerns.
