Can someone have cool sculpting done that has had a ileostomy? My is closed now and I have a j pouch and haven’t had abdominal surgery for twelve years.
Answer: CoolSculpting: After Surgery protocols I would recommend dong CoolSculpting only after the ileostomy is reversed. There is currently no research information on treating patients with an ileostomy. If you are still interested in seeing if you are a candidate for the procedure, I would recommend going to a physician directed practice in order to get a proper in-person assessment.

Answer: CoolSculpting can be done even after surgery. Placement of the CoolSculpting applicators can be done to avoid any vulnerable areas. Patients may have a history of abdominal surgery, hernias or even "ostomies" and still be treated. The important thing to know is that the experience of the provider (with a strong medical knowledge) and the availability of the many applicator shapes and sizes are necessary for a safe and satisfying outcome. Some clinics only have one or two sizes. I recommend that you have your assessment and procedure done at a medical office.
