Coolsculpting for immune compromised people due to organ transplant?

Kerrigan78Oct 11, 2015
Would Coolsculpting still work if on immunosuppressive drugs like Prednisone and Prograff, and antibiotics? I was told I couldn't do treatments like Viora Reaction (RF that heats and melts fat) by my dermatologist b/c of the meds I'm on and my health...organ transplant, would I be able to do Coolsculpt though? I haven't been able to get her to call me back yet.

Coolsculpting is a fabulous way to reduce a fat bulge in a given area.  A few patients to complain about some pain or numbness immediately after the procedure.  There is no predicting which patients might feel some pain afterwards although the abdomen typically can be the most uncomfortable.

Thank you for your question. While some patients have found that wearing compression garments can help alleviate some discomfort and swelling, it is not necessary. It really depends on what makes you feel most comfortable. Best of Luck!
