I was told I couldn't have coolsculpting on my abdomen as I had a laporoscopic hysterectomy and have small scars. Is this true?

there is no reason you cannot have coolsculpting if there is NO hernia under.  If there is enough fat that fits into the applicatior you are fine.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Cool Sculpting can safely be used around scars  but some abdominal scars may be associated with incisional hernias. Your doctor may be concerned that you have a hernia. General surgery training involves the diagnosis and treatment of hernias. I recommend you see a General surgeon or plastic surgeon with general surgery training who also does Cool Sculpting to give you an opinion.  Use their expertise. 

It is perfectly fine to have CoolSculpting done in the area of prior surgery as long as you don't have a hernia in the area. We have done plenty of treatments on patients after laparoscopic surgery with no problems and great results. I suggest you find an experienced provider for a proper evaluation. Best of luck.
