I am happy with my weight, but not my love handles. When I put on a few pounds it seems to go right to my love handles. I am considering coolsculpting. Do you know if the procedure is more effective when my love handles are plumped up, or is it more effective if I slim down first? Or maybe it doesn't matter. thanks

Answer: Timing of CoolSculpting Best time to have CS treatment is when your weight is stable (if you're losing weight, lost it first). If you're only losing 10-12 lbs, in my opinion it makes no difference, but if you think you have 30-40 lbs to lose, then wait. Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Answer: Optimum Time for CoolSculpting Fat cell production is fairly set at puberty (possible biological instance of growing new fat cells is during pregnancy and in cases of extreme obesity). These preset fat cells expand and shrink when you gain and loose weight throughout your adult life. With this being said, there is not a preference of when to be treated. It's more of if you're a good candidate! Each treatment should reduce 20-25% of fat cells. Most patients benefit from 2 sessions (total of 2 cycles to each area of concern). As with any treatment, you will have an optimal outcome if you're already committed to a healthy lifestyle.
