Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting can be performed over the scar as long as there is no underlying hernia. If the scar 'tethers' the skin down to the underlying tissues, there may still be the indentation from the scar even though the fat on either side has been reduced in its thickness. A consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon is recommended. 

Thanks for a great question!  As long as there is no underlying hernia there is no reason you could not have coolsculpting over the scar.  It will  not effect scar tissue, nor decrease it's size.  It will only work on the underlying fat cells around the scar.  It is a very safe and effective treatment for those stubborn fat pockets.  Find a certified practice with staff that are well experienced in treatments. Goodluck to you.
