I ask because my husband was speaking to an O.R nurse for a cosmetic surgeon and she told him that she sees a lot of injury from dermatologist treated patients. These patients have to see the cosmetic surgeon after they realized they had substantial internal injuries from the Cool Sculpting treatment that was done improperly.

Answer: Who should perform CoolSculpting? A dermatologist or a cosmetic surgeon. If you are considering any type of body contouring procedures it is best to find the most comprehensively trained physician. Your surgeon should be expert in all types of body contouring procedures so that the best possible treatment option will be selected for your particular case. Physician's who have limited training in body contouring surgery may not be able to offer the best method of treatment for your particular situation. For these reasons it is usually best to consult a physician board certified in plastic surgery.

Answer: Who should perform Coolsculpting? I'm very curious what kind of "substantial internal injuries" these patients have from Coolsculpting. I am a Plastic Surgeon but at my office the Aesthetician's perform the procedure for patients. They received training from Coolsculpting doctors after we purchased the machine. We have never experienced any kind of internal injuries since the treatment only freezes the fat tissue. When looking for a Coolsculpting provider I would ask how long they have been performing Coolsculpting treatments and if they are a doctor or licensed Aesthetician. The longer they have been doing the treatment the better they should be at it.
