How soon can I get liposuction after having CoolSculpting done on my upper arms?

Question

I had Coolsculpting on my upper arms this morning. Because the protective gel cover sucked into the cup, I only got 40 minutes of treatment on my left arm. The right went the whole 60. I'm very worried I will have very uneven arms in about 8 weeks, just in time for my Caribbean cruise

I've done dozens of revisionary liposuction procedures for patients that had CoolSculpting performed. This non-invasive treatment is just not as reliable and effective as traditional liposuction. I'd recommend waiting 6 months prior to embarking on liposuction.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

CoolSculpting improves fat but often only 20% per treatment and requires several treatments for optimal results. The time difference from your first treatment on both arms should not create any drastic unevenness. VASER Hi definition liposuction is a great procedure if you are seeking fat loss, contouring, and skin tightening. I would suggest waiting 4 months before undergoing liposuction after CoolSculpting. Please seek an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

CoolSculpt usually isn't that effective so I doubt you will have any significant problems with asymmetry. But it does take several weeks to show any results so I don't think you will find any experienced plastic surgeon willing to do liposuction before two months or more after your treatment.
