How long do I have to wait after having Coolsculpting before I can get liposuction or a noninvasive alternative like Vanquish?

There should not be any harm in having liposuction or a noninvasive alternative of fat reduction after having had a CoolSculpting treatment.  I would recommend waiting at least 4 months after the CoolSculpting treatment just so you can see the full results before trying another type of treatment.  

Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting is a great non-invasive procedure for reducing pockets of stubborn of fat by 20-25%. It should not have been a very painful procedure and I am sorry for your experience. I would advise waiting the full 4 months before having an invasive treatment such as liposuction. I recommend having a follow up with your treating physician to address your concerns. Best of Luck!

I am sorry that you had pain prior to the treatment. It is unusual but documented to have significant discomfort post treatment. I would recommend that you wait 12 to 16 months post treatment before you have an invasive procedure. At that time, consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who has both surgical and nonsurgical options so you understand the best possible treatment for you.
