coolsculpting effectivess on small people (5'2", 118lb)

Question

does Coolsculpting work as well on smaller framed women ( I'm 5'2", 118 ibs) as it does with women who may have more fat to lose? I understand it's a percentage loss, but in reading reviews, the highest patient satisfaction seemed to be with fairly overweight people.

Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

The stature of a patient is of no concern. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive treatment that is ideal for exercise resistant and stubborn areas of fat. As long as you are in good health and have 1-2 inches of pinchable fatty tissue you may be treated.

Nana N. Mizuguchi, MD, FACS · Answer

Patient satisfaction is across the board including thinner people with small areas of concern and larger people.  Every patient is assessed individually.  Basing recommendation of CoolSculpt solely on the fame type of women would not be appropriate.  I hope this helps answer your question.  I recommend you are assessed by a professional with much experience with CoolSculpt.  Thank you.

Good question. CoolSculpting can still be very effective on petite individuals like yourself if you still have a little bulge or pooch of fat that refuses to go away with diet or exercise. We treat a lot of people that fall into this category and have seen some excellent results with just one treatment. The best thing for you to do is to visit an experienced CoolSculpting provider for a consultation to see if the treatment will be right for you. Good luck!

Joshua L. Fox, MD · Answer

Yes,
it does work well on smaller framed women. In fact, the ideal CoolSculpting candidate is not significantly
overweight, but in fact healthy active patients with stubborn bulges or pockets
of fatty tissue that do not seem to improve with diet or exercise.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

Coolsculpting can be very effective on petite people. Like with larger people, patient selection is key.

If you can grab and pinch the area even if you are thin it can be treated. In males this area is typically the love hand areas.  As males approach the age of 40 this is typical.  The love hand area an male can be somewhat wide and tall.  This can also be the case in females ben if they have smaller frame.  In males this hangs over the belt line.  In females this makes the shape of the waister more straight rather than and hour glass shape.  Cool sculpting effectively treated the love handle areas in both males and females.  I also want to thank everyone who came to our Cool Night out at the The Upper Room is Austin last night to take advantage of 30% off of treatment.  Stay tuned for future Cool Night out Events in Austin at the Upper Room!

CoolSculpting is a great procedure for fat reduction in a particular area.  Your size makes you the idea candidate for this treatment.  I love treating patients who have a distinct bulge and are small frame since they are so happy with their excellent results.

Nissan Pilest, MD · Answer

A visual
assessment is necessary to see if you are a good candidate, but a Coolsuclpting
treatment will reduce about 20% of fat in the area treated regardless of size.

Coolsculpting
gives the most dramatic results when multiple areas are treated; for example
upper and lower abdomen and flanks. If you spot treat, it may not yield the
results you are looking for. And sometimes is it necessary to repeat treatment in
the same area for best results, again regardless of size.

Results are
not immediate, you will see the results typically between 2-4 months after the
procedure, once your body naturally eliminates the destructed fat. If you are
aware of these things, then you might be happier with your Coolsculpting
treatment.

Consult with
a Board Certified Dermatologist that specializes in this procedure to see if
you are a candidate and how many treatments you may need for best results.

Daniel Shapiro, MD · Answer

CoolSculpting was originally created to treat people who were just slightly overweight and needed help with the stubborn fat areas, so it is ideal for smaller framed patients.

Suzanne Kim Doud Galli, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

Coolsculpting induces programmed cell death by selectively freezing fat cells. Coolsculpting was designed initially to treat individuals who were fit, but perhaps, 10-15 pounds overweight and with stubborn fat pockets. Treatment protocols have evolved to treat heavier individuals. Coolsculpting remains an excellent choice for the smaller person!
