I appreciate your question.A hernia is a contrindication to coolsculpting The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Yes there is a contraindication to CoolSculpting your abdomen if you have a hernia. Best of luck. 

You likely have  arectus diastsis and not a hernia.  You can get Coolsculpting on a rectus diastsis but I would consult with a board certified PLASTIC surgeon to see if a tummy tuck may be better for you.  During a tummy tuck, the rectus diastsis can be repaired.

Coolsculpting is an excellent treatment for excessive fat, but cannot be performed over hernia and is not the treatment of muscle separation after pregnancy. You may be a candidate for other cosmetic surgery procedure (such as tummy tuck) after making sure that you do not have a hernia. We routinely repair hernia during tummy tuck. The best way know your options is to book a consultation with a plastic surgeon.

It is correct that CoolSculpting should not be performed if you have a hernia In the region that is to be treated. If you have  a history of having undergone previous abdominal surgery, you should be examined by your physician who is going to perform CoolSculpting and may want to get clearance from the surgeon who performed your previous abdominal surgery.

You
should not perform CoolSculpting if you have a hernia because it may cause a
new hernia to form or worsen your already existing hernia. I would recommend
that you consult with a nearby physician so that they can further study your
case. 

It should not be performed over a hearnia, and I suggest seeing physician for an evaluation.  Liposuction, velashape, ultrashape and liposonix can be performed in areas of a hernia.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I have attached a link that might be helpful...Hi xodawnxo. Yes, coolsculpting should not be done over a hernia. An in person exam is required to be sure, but your photos do not show an obvious hernia. The separation of your rectus muscles and stretch in the abdominal wall is best addressed by a tummy tuck. You may find that the number of coolsculpting treatments you need to make an improvement is high and that surgery would give you more shaping. Be sure to see a board certified Plastic surgeon that offers coolsculpting and can contrast the results of liposuction and tummy tuck for you. Best wishes,

Yes, it is true that you cannot use CoolSculpting to treat directly over a hernia. Make sure your CoolSculpting consultation is with an actual surgeon and not a technician. They will be able to perform a physical examination to see if you have a hernia in the area you want to treat and whether you a are a suitable candidate for the treatment. Best of luck to you.

There are different types and locations of hernias and it is true that if certain ones are present, it may be not recommended to have a CoolSculpting procedure performed.  It is not possible to tell you if you have a hernia from the pictures you provided, but there is nothing in the picture that would suggest a hernia.  An exam would be needed to determine if you have a hernia or not.  The physician consulting with you about CoolSculpting should be able to tell you if you have a hernia.
