Would CoolSculpting work for me if I am 60 pounds away from my ideal goal weight?

Thank you for your question! CoolSculpting is ideal for those who are at or near their ideal body weight. It is important to understand that it is not a weight loss treatment. Getting closer to your ideal body weight would be suggested so you can maximize the benefits of CoolSculpting results. CoolSculpting reduces fat in the treated area by an average 20-25%. Because everyone's ideal body weight is unique, I suggest meeting with a physician for a consultation to determine if you are a candidate to start treatment. I have included additional information in my video below to further assist in answering your question. Best of luck to you!

CoolSculpt will reduce the fat in the area treated by an average of 20-25%. Most patients require at least 2 treatments. Like any body contouring procedure it is not weight loss, but shape change. It is best to be close to your ideal body weight before any procedure. If you are considering CoolSculpt, it would be best to go to a board certified plastic surgeon who provides CoolSculpting who can determine if CoolSculpt is the best option for you and can discuss alternatives and timing to give you the best result in the safest way.

Rousssm1   Hello Neighbor!  thank you for the question.  while coolsculpting can be used to contour and for fat reduction, it is very important to not it is not for weight loss.  Make sure you are evaluated by a cosmetic surgeon who offers multiple modalities for   fat  reduction.   If you move forward with coolsculpting make sure the staff   has attended Coolsculpting  University.

Thanks for your question. CoolSculpting treatments are recommended for individuals who are at their ideal weight. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine which course of treatment may be best suited to you. Regards,

CoolSculpting is ideal for people who are at or near their ideal body weight.  It is possible that you could still be treated at 60 lbs. over your ideal weight, but it most likely will take more treatment sessions and your ultimate fat loss may not be as much.  

Hello,

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to answer without seeing a picture. However Coolsculpting is most effective for people who are in a healthy weight range and live a healthy lifestyle. The smaller the fat cell, the better the results. So you may want to consider waiting a little longer. That being said, there are cases where Coolsculpting can still be effective, and serve as a great encouragement as you are on your health journey. You should consider having a full consult with a local physician to create the best plan for you. Good Luck!

Thank you for your question. Coolscuplting is done on patients that have a BMI of 30 or less. If your BMI is above this then there is a risk of creating divots or shark bite. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine if you are a good candidate for Coolsculpting. Best of Luck!

CoolSculpting can and should be done to sculpt the body but should not be used as a weight loss tool. Ideally, patients that are within 20 pounds from their ideal goal weight are the best candidates for CoolSculpting. You should be examined and have a consultation by a CoolSculpting specialist to determine the best treatment for each individual.

CoolSculpting does an amazing job shaping and "sculpting" the body.  Best results are achieved when the patient is within 10-20 pounds of their ideal weight. This treatment is designed to treat pinchable pockets and bulges of fat in various areas of the body.  It is important to keep in mind that CoolSculpting is not designed for weight loss, but for shaping.  Ultimately, it all depends on what your goals are. We have been able to use CoolSculpting on heavier clients, and they have been thrilled. In those cases, many patients just want to smooth out the bulges and have their clothes fit better, without the expectation of actual weight loss.  CoolSculpting can definitely do that, and it really does make such a noticeable difference with multiple applications.  In fact, many of our patients who are well beyond the ideal weight find that treating with Coolsculpting gives them the motivation they need to improve their diet and exercise plan.
