Can I get CoolSculpting if I have Factor V Leiden (single gene)?

Question

Paul Flashner, MD · Answer

Yes. Factor V is not a contraindication to the Coolsculpt treatment. Since Coolsculpt is a non-surgical procedure, this treatment may be the best option for you (versus liposuction, or any other surgically invasive fat reduction surgery). I suggest partnering up with your local service provider to determine if you are the perfect Coolsculpt candidate.

Susan Buenaventura, MD, FACS · Answer

Coolsculpting should be fine with your Factor V trait.  It does not require and incision or create a wound to heal.  You may bruise a bit.  Be sure to see an experienced practice, preferable a plastic surgeon who can advise you on the best treatment for your problem area.

Jennifer Janiga, MD, FAAD · Answer

Yes, you can have Coolsculpting with Factor V def.  In fact, this would potentially be a better option for you than surgical procedures such as liposuction or BodyTite that would have bleeding potential.  You should be evaluated first to see if you are a Coolsculpting candidate of course.

Jennifer R. McCann, MD · Answer

Factor V mutation is not a contraindication to Coolsculpting, so it is perfectly fine to proceed with coolsculpting.  Actually,  it may be the preferred fat loss procedure as it is much less invasive than surgical options.  Remember to check with your local provider.
