Will Cool Sculpting on my abdomen affect my future pregnancy?

Question

I'm 26 year old and will intend to get pregnant when I'm 29-30 years old. I'll like to factor in multicultural considerations - a lot of the people and doctors here are Western which are fantastic as they are forthcoming. Doctors from Asia please comment! Thanks!

CoolSculpting in no way impacts your future ability to have children. As an Asian physician who performed CoolSculpting, I find that Asian patients respond particularly well to its fat reduction effects.

According to CoolSculpting by Zeltiq, there is no effect on anything other than the fat cells underneath the skin. We have seen amazing results with CoolSculpting and have treated many  young women who are looking forward to getting pregnant in the future. Good luck with your future pregnany.

Thank you for your question. You do not need to worry about getting pregnant after having CoolSculpting treatment. However, I would not seek treatment if you are trying to get pregnant within the next 6 months. It is also advisable to wait till after pregnancy to have any body contouring procedures. Best of Luck

Coolsculpting will not affect future pregnancy. To determine if coolsculpting is the best option for you, consult in person with a board certified physician who can offer surgical and nonsurgical options.

CoolSculpting is a fabulous procedure and should have no effect on fertility.  Everyone who has a bulge to "freeze" is a good candidate.  I have patients of all ages and all backgrounds and they universally have had great results.  Please find a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with CoolSculpting for the best results.
