I have Addisons disease and take CORTEF. I want to do Coolsculpting sessions. Would this be a detriment to me?

Question

I have lost quite a bit of weight am 5' 2 and 100 lbs. So I wanted to try the Cool sculpting on my inner thighs and buttocks, concerned this type of therapy might trigger a negative response in my body. Thank u for ur opinion.

internal medications do not affect Coolsculpting. they may affect how much weight you can lose however. Id suggest non surgical versus surgery treatment and/or getting peptide or hormonal treatment as well for weight loss.
If you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like coolsculpting with vanquish or TrusculptID to get small areas of fat reduced.  Skin also tightens if you combine this with exilis ultra, venus legacy, Inmode Forma/Contoura radiofrequency treatments.  You boost the results from coolsculpting if you add in Kybella injections to melt fat as well.  We also combine coolsculpting with shock therapy like Z wave, EVIVE, and cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Great question. You did not provide any photos, but at 5'2" and 100 lbs, with a lot of weight loss,  I would be concerned about the possibility of skin laxity, not fat deposition, as being your problem. I would suggest that you seek consultation with a physician skilled in assessing fat deposition and skin laxity to determine the cause of your inner thighs and buttocks problems. Then it will be possible for you to discuss the treatment options available to help you look your best.  Best wishes, Mary Beth Mudd
