Hi. I have a coolsculpting session scheduled for my submental fat. What will happen if I go through with the procedure when I have Raynaud's? Will having Raynaud's increase the chances of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia? Is Kybella a safer procedure for me?

Answer: CoolSculpting Thank you for your message! Raynaud's is not a specific contraindication if you are treating the submental area. You can always speak with your managing provider regarding this if you are worried however. CoolSculpting can cause altered sensation to the area being treated, though this typically goes away rather quickly. Raynaud's will not increase the risk of PAH either! I would recommend a consultation with a provider in your area for further assessment!

Answer: Coolsculpting, Kybella and Raynaud's Raynaud's disease affecting the hands and feet is not a contraindication to coolsculpting of other body parts. It is also not a risk factor to paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH). Of note, PAH is a very rare complication of coolsculpting that seemed to be most related to the original large high suction applicators. The newest applicators have significantly less suction.Raynaud's is not a contraindication to Kybella either. However, if your submental fat 'fits' into a coolmini applicator, you I'd generally recommend starting with coolsculpting because there is no downtime after the procedure. You can have significant swelling for 1 - 4 weeks after Kybella treatment so we usually use that for any residual fat too small for coolsculpting.I hope that answer was helpful. Best of luck.
