If you gain weight after a CoolSculpting procedure, will it distribute more to untreated areas like is does with liposuction?

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.
Best of luck,

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.
