I recently had a coolsculpting appointment and it was explained to me how we have fat cells but when we are heavier the fat cells are larger than when we are skinny. So in this thought, would it be better to get coolsculpting when you are thinner so it freezes more fat cells because they are smaller? I want to do coolsculpting but am thinking of losing some weight first so that it freezes more fat cells.

Answer: Better to Get CoolSculpting When Thin or Heavy? All Body Contouring Works Best Near a Good Weight It’s important to remember that CoolSculpting and all of the other surgical and nonsurgical fat-removal techniques are designed to contour your figure by removing inches, not pounds. They’re not weight-loss techniques. It’s best to be near your ideal weight simply because you will get a nicer result and you need to be healthy enough to maintain your results over the long term. However, the same percentage of fat cells will be killed in a CoolSculpting procedure whether you are fat or thin: About 20 to 30% at most centers. We actually can eliminate about 35% of fat in a single session because we have performed many CoolSculpting procedures, have the most updated applicators, and give our patients a session of Zimmer Z-Wave radial pulsed therapy directly afterward to help break up the fat cells and make the results more uniform. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who has been certified by Zeltiq as a CoolSculpting practitioner.

Answer: Coolsculpting and weight loss goals Hello and thank you for your question. Coolsculpting works best on individuals that are at their ideal weight. However some patients start their Coolsculpting sessions alongside starting a weight loss program as an incentive. Coolsculpting results can be obvious on both heavier and thin patients. Try not to get too hung on "how many fat cells you are freezing", rather focus on your weight loss goals and your Coolsculpting provider should ensure you get the most out of every Coolsculpting session. Hope this helps. Dr. Philip Solomon
