If cool sculpting is performed by expert physician, then it is safe for the chin area with out any complications regarding the thyroid. I recommend mentioning your complete medical history to the treating physician. Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction for the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Thank you for your question. There is no known association between CoolSculpting and thyroid disease. However, I would mention this to your treating physician. Regards,
there is no association with graves or autoimmune disease and coolsculpting. Even the coolmini will not affect the thyroid. I suggest a formal consultation with an endocrinologist if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.
A CoolSculpting procedure should have no effect on the thyroid gland or Graves disease. You would require an examination to determine if you might be a good candidate for the procedure.
Hi and thanks for your question. I am unaware of any evidence that coolsculpting affects the thyroid gland or complications such as Graves disease.Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICSTriple Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
We have been getting a lot of questions lately regarding CoolSculpting and the thyroid gland. There have been no cases documented of Grave's disease or other thyroid disease occurring in connection to CoolSculpting. In the hands of an experienced Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon, CoolSculpting is one of the safest cosmetic procedures around.
The new CoolMini won't be in the same area as the thyroid and won't affect a person with Graves Disease. The thyroid is much lower.
I am unaware of any association between Coolsculpting and fibromyalgia. However, I would address your concerns with the practice that evaluates you for this treatment. Good luck.Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICSTriple Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Thank you for your question. I would recommend speaking to the physician who did your sclerotherapy treatment as every physician has their own protocols. Regards,
This is an extremely rare side effect from coolsculpting. I have never seen it in my practice. The only way to treat this is with liposuction. You should be re-evaluated by your treating physician who can determine if this is truly paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. Coolsculpting has a p...
There would be little or no benefit to the procedure if you are overweight. It is not a weight loss device and is only meant to treat a bulge. Your money and time would be best served looking into reliable diet and exercise programs and if you need surgery to explore a possible lap band p...
Ouch! I'm sorry to see that you've developed a blister after your CoolSculpting treatment. Although I've never seen this occur in my own practice, it is possible that you were burned during the treatment. I'm alarmed that the person you spoke with simply told you to administer vitamin E....
Thank you for your question. It is common to have some swelling and bruising after Coolsculpting treatment which varies from patient to patient and typically resolves in a few weeks. You can take Tylenol and ice the treated area to help with swelling and discomfort. If your symptoms do not...
