Can Cool Sculpting Help with Fat Pockets in the Armpits and is It Safe?

The bulge near the underarm is often breast tissue that is compressed at its side and made more apparent by bulging outwardly with tight fitting bra straps or shirts.  CoolSculpting can't fit well with their applicators in this region, nor i indicated to treat breast tissue.

Yes, I have used
the CoolMini applicator from Zeltiq's CoolSculpting system to
successfully remove excess armpit fat. Most often patients complain
of the bulge of fat in front of the armpit and this area responds
nicely. We also commonly treat the fat behind the armpit.
CoolSculpting has been such an effective nonsurgical alternative to
liposuction that Zeltiq has developed a number of new applicators to
treat variously shaped parts of the body that may or may not have
“pinchable” fat.

The CoolMini was
originally designed to remove fat from the submental area –
freezing away double chins – but its small size makes it perfect
for reaching other little pockets of fat, such as those under the
arms and around the bra line. It will probably take more than one
session to get the results you desire. Final results take about three
to four months to be visible. Please consult a board-certified
dermatologist who is an expert in CoolSculpting to find out if you
are a candidate for this effective procedure.

CoolSculpting can be done on many areas, but unfortunately, the underarms may not be one of them. The applicators are successfully used in areas of pliable fat that can be suctioned into the applicator. The applicators that are currently available most likely will not be able to effectively treat the underarms because it is such a small area. You may consider possibly having liposuction done on the area instead. It is always best to go in for a consultation to best assess your needs and goals.
