What is the best treatment for lower belly pooch? CoolSculpting? (photos)

 CoolSculpting is a highly effective treatment to permanently eliminate lower abdominal “pooches.” Depending on your skin quality, you might also need co-treatment with Vanquish to tighten the skin as the fat is eliminated. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is certified by Zeltiq to perform CoolSculpting and who can also offer you Zimmer Z-Wave radial pulsed therapy to optimize your results, plus skin tightening therapies if needed. 

Thanks for your question! I do think that you would benefit from CoolSculpting to that area, but I think you will want 2-3 treatments to get the best result possible. Maybe even considering something like SmartLipo wouldn't be a bad option for you. It is minimally invasive, but we could be more aggressive in that area. Be sure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for best results. Good luck!

Dear Step369,Based on your photos CoolSculpting is a great non-surgical option for you. You have great skin without stretch marks or significant skin laxity so you are a good candidate. However, if your C-section scar is bothersome to you due to a groove or abnormal healing then this could be excised/revised at the time of abdominal liposculpture.Best of luck,Oscar A.

Hello and Thank you for your photo and question,CoolSculpting is a great, FDA-approved treatment for fat reduction of the abdomen. Based on your question and photo, I think that you are an excellent candidate for Coolsculpting. Patients in our office have seen an average fat reduction of 20-25% with each treatment. Depending on the patient's body composition and outcome goals, it may take more than one treatment to achieve optimal results. It takes 3 months to see the final results. The results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable healthy lifestyle. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a certified plastic surgeon for information on coolsculpting. Tweet

Based on the photos alone, you appear to be a candidate for coolsculpting though an in person assessment is always best especially after your pregnancy. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon.
