Background: I had abdominoplasty 10 years ago. I’m 62, and before RA I was very fit. Now, I still mountain bike on my good days, just slowed down. During RA flare ups, I’m still active, just very slow. About healing: I broke my arm 2 years ago. The fracture healed in 2.5 months. My doc said Enbrel and Diclofenac Sod tremendously slowed healing of the fracture. Am I a good candidate for coolsculpting?

Answer: Can CoolSculpting remove my dog ears from abdominoplasty done 10 years ago? Thank you for the question. It is difficult to answer your question without examining you. In general Coolsculpting helps to freeze the fat and as a result it reduces the amount of fat. It does not have any impact on your skin as it is not a skin tightening device. It is best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if you would benefit from excision or any other alternatives. Good luck.

Answer: CoolSculpting candidate It's going to be hard to evaluate your situation without a personal exam, and I recommend that you see a real plastic surgeon who is experienced in abdominoplasty as well as CoolSculpting so they know what they are looking at. If your dog-ear is skin, then CoolSculpting is unlikely to help. If you have fat there that is causing a bit of protrusion, then CoolSculpting can be a great answer!Best wishes, Dr. L
