Answer: Will CoolSculpting cause loose skin? Judging from your pictures, I do not think you will have any problem with loose skin after a CoolSculpting treatment. If there is not excess skin prior to the treatment, CoolSculpting generally will not cause loose skin to develop. If there is excess skin present before the treatment, this will not be improved after CoolSculpting.

Answer: Cool Sculpting and skin tightening Your question is a great one and a very common one in busy CoolSculpting practices. While cryolypolysis (the mechanism behind CoolSculpting) is great at eliminating fat it does not unto itself provide skin contraction. The best canddidates for CoolSculpting have skin with good recoil and elasticity. In these cases the skin naturally molds to the smaller fat pocket and looks great. In patients with poor elasticity (often older patients) the skin can become more wrinkled as the fat shrinks away. These patients should consider a procedure that includes skin excision. If you are going to see an experienced CoolSculpting center run by a Board Certified plastic surgeon, they should be able to evaluate your particular situation and provide you with the best option available. My advice would be careful about going to a CoolSculpting center run by someone other than an accomplished plastic surgeon, as they are unlikely to be able to offer you surgical options and therefore may tend toward "selling" you something that is not the best for you.Best of luck,Dr. L
