Am I a candidate for CoolSculpting if I have lymphedema Garcia?

Question

I was born with lymph edema in my lower extremities. Would I be able to get cool sculpt since the fat cells are eliminated by the lymphatic system? Garcia

You should not have cryolypolysis. It is unlikely to be effective, and may have significant risks for you, such as infection or tissue necrosis.
Liposuction by an expert in lymphoedema may be better.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I don't recommend Coolsculpting for patients with lymphedema. Body sculpting like liposuction may be more safe for lymphedema patients, if done properly with water-assisted removal. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
