Will CoolSculpting on the abdomen cause more visceral fat?

Sensible663968Jun 27, 2024
If I cool sculpt the abdomen and generally maintain my weight, do you gain more visceral fat around your organs? Since cool sculpting destroys fat cells, I believe this would mean that more fat gets stored in your existing fat cells if you aren’t losing body fat percentage so therefore you are accumulating more visceral fat.

CoolSculpting can be effective in reducing areas of unwanted fat, but it will not tighten skin. In my experience, if there is already some loose or sagging skin, this could worsen after CoolSculpting. If there is no sagging or loose skin to begin with, I have not seen sagging skin develop...

Hello and thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a great option to reduce the fat on the hips. It will work at the same pace regardless if the fat cells were placed there or not.
