Hello! I'm considering coolsculpting. I'm 31, done having kids and I've had weight loss surgery. I have an apron of fat and I'd rather not have plastic surgery if I can avoid it. Would cool sculpting be a good option for me?

Answer: Coolsculpting After Weight Loss Surgery Thank you for your question and photo. Based on your photo, Coolsculpting may not be the best option for you as it will only address the fat and not the skin laxity. From your photo, it appears that you are a better candidate for a tummy tuck. I suggest seeking the opinion of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best of Luck,

Answer: CoolSculpting after weight loss surgery? Hello canoodieroo,Thanks for your question and photo. Based on the information you have provided it appears you would be better served to attain the results you seem to desire with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). CoolSculpting although very effective for stubborn pockets of fat in those at, or very close, to their ideal body weight will not likely give you results you desire. CoolSculpting will NOT have any effect on skin tightening and you already have a good amount of laxity thus any fat that is removed will only make this appear worse. Secondly the amount of time and treatments needed to reduce what we can see in the photo would be pretty close to the cost of the abdominoplasty +/- liposuction which would give you desired results in one setting. Seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to explore your options more closely.
