Will fat freezing work when you have high cholesterol?

Question

Mariam Awada, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Because the fat that is frozen by CoolSculpting is eliminated through the lymphatic system, not the bloodstream, it will not affect your blood cholesterol levels either positively or negatively. Good luck!

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Coolsculpting is a technology that freezes subcutaneous fat (or fat that you can pinch).  The cellular destruction of fat cells does not enter the bloodstream and would not have an affect on your cholesterol levels.  Best of luck.

William Groff, DO · Answer

When CoolSculpting lowers the temperature of fat cells to the point where they destruct, your lymph system processes them and eliminates all of the contents, including the fat. The fat doesn’t enter your bloodstream and so won’t affect your cholesterol levels one way or the other. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who has been certified as a CoolSculpting expert.

Dear hedy wimble,
Yes, you are a candidate for CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting eliminates fat via lymphatic system, not bloodstream. Therefore, cholesterol does not impact CoolSculpting.

Thank you for your question. High cholesterol is not a contraindication to having coolsculpting treatments. However, a consultation with a coolsculpting specialist would be advised to determine if you are a candidate for treatment.

W. Tomasz Majewski, MD, FACS · Answer

High cholesterol has no impact on CoolSculpting.  CoolSculpting is used to reduce pockets of subcutaneous fat.  The fat that is frozen is eliminated by the body through waste.

Nicholas Gentry, MD · Answer

High cholesterol should not interfere with cool sculpting and vice versa. There is no contraindication here.

Martin Everhard, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

High cholesterol is n ot a problem.  The eliminated fat from CoolSculting(r) does not enter the blood stream but is processed with the lymphatic system and eliminated with your waste.

Alain Michon, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Dyslipidemia, or high cholesterol, will not affect the results of CoolSculpting. However, I recommend seeing a CoolSculpting certified practice in order to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure. All the best, Dr.Michon
