Is Cool Sculpting Appropriate for Women over 65?

Cool
sculpting can be appropriate for men and women of any age- over the age of 18. We have patients over the age of 65 who try Coolsculpting at our practice. 

Coolsculpting or other body contouring procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, breast surgery can all be done for the right candidate after the age 65.  I would ensure that you are in good health and the areas of concern can be adequately treated by Coolsculpting or other body contouring procedures.  I would recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your region who is also an experience coolsculpting provider for an informed consultation.

Thanks for your question. Coolsculpting is a an excellent option for women and men in their sixties. Coolsculpting has minimal downtime and is much easier to recover from than traditional liposuction . You should have a consultation with a Coolsculpting specialist to have a "pinch test" of the fatty area to deem if you are good candidate for the procedure. Best wishes.

 

                  Coolsculpting
is an excellent therapeutic option for treating localized fat collections in
patients who are older than sixty five. Under these circumstances the procedure
offers significant advantages over traditional liposuction and other more
aggressive procedures.

                  Although,
the results may not be as dramatic as traditional liposuction, there’s less
pain, fewer complications and shorter recoveries. In an aging population, these
are all significant advantages. The physiology of coolsculpting is not affected
by the patient’s age. Older patients respond to treatment in a manner that’s
similar to younger patients.

                  In
this group of older patients who may have other health issues, contra
indications to surgery, or fear of surgery, coolsculpting may represent an
ideal solution to their problems.

                  Consultation
with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate if you’re older and
considering this procedure. This surgeon should be able to help you determine
whether coolsculpting is a viable option for you. 

Even after the age of 65, Coolsculpting can produce great results.  As long as you're a good candidate for the procedure, you can get long lasting results with minimal pain and no downtime.

There is much less concern about loss of elasticity and retraction of skin after CoolSculpting compared with liposuciton. Bruising might be worse from more fragile skin and the device shouldn't be done on areas that demonstrate skin fragility (usually sun-exposed arms, chest and legs) and usually CoolSculpting is not done on those sites.

CoolSculpting is a wonderful fat-reducing technique for older patients as it is completely noninvasive, requires no downtime, and tends to have minimal side effects. Some of my patients over 60 actually have a greater reduction in fat per session than the younger ones do. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist and find out more about how to get rid of stubborn fat with CoolSculpting.

Cool sculpting is for people of all ages although younger people will probably respond faster and with less skin laxity in the area they have treated.

Coolsculpting is an excellent option for treating localized
fat in patients who are older than 65. CoolSculpting has fewer complications
and shorter recovery times than traditional invasive fat reduction treatments. The
process of coolsculpting is not affected by a patient’s age, older patient’s
respond to treatment in a manner that’s similar to younger patients.

Coolsculpting is a viable option for patients over 65. The results have been impressive for patients over 65, but patient selection is key. Consult with a board certified physician who offers both surgical and coolsculpting options to understand which procedure is best for you.
