Is it okay to do CoolSculpting AND ultrasonic cavitation?

Danny1119Oct 4, 2016
regardless of how much I diet and exercise, my lower abdomen never budged below 32 inches. I want to get the Coolsculpting procedure to elimate some fat cells, and a few ultrasonic cavitatios to help the remaining stubborn fat cells release the fat it seems to think necessary to cling onto. Should there be a gap period between procedures? Will the Cooled fats be melted by cavitation? Thank you

Most patients treated in the flank region typically do not need any pain medication other than Tylenol. If you experience any pain you may want to contact your provider. As a reminder do not take any Non-Steroidal anti- inflammatory during the first 2-4 weeks for best results.

The new Advantage applicators take only 35 minutes so this is correct.  Depending on the amount of fat that you have ,4 large applicators may indeed be necessary.  Your cost per treatment would start at $4800 with 4 large applicators normally.  You can call around to see if anyone is doing deals.

This looks like paradoxical hyperplasia where the coolsculpting treated areas get much larger and now need to be treated with liposuction or kybella.  Best, Dr. Emer.
