Can SculpSure help with paradoxal adipose hyperplasia after CoolSculpting?

Question

I was one of the unlucky ones who developed PAH after one coolsculpting treatment. I have tried Zwave, and 6 treatments of Vanquish, but the golf ball size lumps haven't budged. Can Sculpsure help dissolve this, or is Liposuction the better route?

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. SculpSure is a very safe procedure as patients may feel a little tenderness in the treated areas for a few days, but this sensation is comparable to that of an intense workout, and should not disrupt normal activities.

Best wishes,

The best option for this condition is body contouring with VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF and ultrasound. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring expert.  The coolsculpting company typically will pay with evidence of need.  Best, Dr. Emer

I certainly think that it would be worth a try to see if SculpSure can help with your PAH. Especially since it is non-invasive. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss.

Craig Schwartz, DO · Answer

Although SculpSure is not intended to treat PAH, it most likely should help with it. PAH is an atypical response that occurs sometimes after Coolsculpting, although we honestly are not clear on who develops it, or why. I would certainly recommend a non-invasive treatment rather than doing something invasive like Lipo to try and improve this situation.

SculpSure should be able to help after PAH (paradoxical adipose hyperplasia after CoolSculpting).  It is unknown why PAH occurs after CoolSculpting.  I think it is due to cold.  Cold makes us fatten up and I speculate this has a role in its development.PAH has not been reported after SculpSure as of 2016.I would use SculpSure before I would try SmartLipo or Vaser.
