Which CoolSculpting applicator shape and placement would be best for my abdomen? (photos)

The right applicator for you will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the treatment area and the goals you have for your treatment. My recommendation would be to focus less on the applicator used and more on the experience and expertise of your provider. If you choose a board-certified dermatologist for your procedure who has extensive experience in CoolSculpting treatments, you should achieve an optimal outcome no matter which applicator is selected. 

Hi There, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately it is impossible to give you an exact answer without seeing you in person. All of these treatments can be effective but it really depends on your starting point and ultimate goal. Please consult with a local provider to determine the best course of action. Best of luck on your treatment! 

I think the most important goal in CoolSculpting is just to make sure the areas with fat are covered with the applicators.  There can be more than one method to accomplish this, and the ultimate results may not be much different as long as the areas of unwanted fat are treated.  Each patient is different, so an examination is needed to determine the best treatment plan.  

Hi and thank you for your question! We choose and recommend a customized treatment plan for each patient, based on assessment of the fat pad distribution and where the central portion of the fat lies. Its hard to say for sure which one would work best for you with assessing you. Often times, two overlapping cycles on the lower and two overlapping cycles on the upper (forming a diamond) works great for many patients. However, sometimes the petite cycles provide a better fit. One thing for sure is that we are seeing much better results and skin tightening effects in our patients that use Alastin Transform Body cream during the treatment process. I would recommend you consult with an experienced practice and provider, for the best assessment and aesthetic result. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens

This depends when you get evaluated. Everyone's fat orients a different way as well. The best thing is to have different consultation and pick the provider that you feel most comfortable with. 

Dear nousernameleft, In order to obtain the least expensive and best outcome in CoolSculpting (CS), an in-person examination by a Certified CoolSculpting Team provides the best opportunity for the correct placement and proper selection of the CS applicators. Without this, you may not receive the proper fit and cycling of the cooling / fat reduction protocol. Each patient is different and needs a customized plan. I wish you the best!

Thank you for your question. Without seeing actual photos of your abdomen and doing an in person assessment, it is difficult to say which option would be the best for you. Everyone's fat pads are angled and positioned differently. An in person assessment with an experienced provider will help determine which option is the best for your specific goals. Good luck!
