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.

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.

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