Can you develop a fat embolism with Coolsculpting?

Stormancy
I got a blood clot when I was pregnant and was on blood thinner. Now I am off the blood thinner but I have to use it again if I get pregnant again or travel long distances. Is there any risks for me to get coolsculpting? I heard of fat embolism, is it something coolsculpting can give you as a side effect? Thank you for your time.
