Do fat cells return after cool sculpting?

Fat cells metabolize differently than other cells in the
body. After puberty, you really do not
make any new fat cells.The ones you
have just get bigger when you gain weight and smaller when you lose weight.The reason some areas are larger than others
is that there is a larger population of fat cells in the larger area. Treatments that affect fat either physically
remove fat cells (like liposuction), or freeze fat cells that causes death of
the cells and effectively reduces the number of fat cells in an area (like
coolsclupting).Those fat cells that are
removed or killed are permanently gone and new ones do not grow back again.The remaining fat cells still swell and contract
as your weight fluctuates but with less cells present, those areas are less
prominent and now less likely to be out of proportion.People tend to lose weight or gain weight
more proportionally after fat has been removed in selective areas.It is important to try to maintain a healthy
steady weight after treatment though because if too much weight is gained, the
small changes in fat cell population have less obvious effect and everything
just looks heavy. Protect your investment by maintaining your weight and
results.

CoolSculpting has FDA approval for fat reduction since 2010. CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells. The fat cells die via a process called apoptosis, (programmed cell death). The number of fat cells are therefore reduced. The body will take these cells up, process them and excrete them, just as any other cell. Yes, the remnants are filtered through the liver, and then excreted eventually via stool.

I appreciate your question.The fat cells that are killed with coolsculpting do not come back.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz
