Can I get Coolsculpting done in my groin/crotch area?

Question

I am a 45 year old woman. I have a large amount of fat in my groin or crotch area. I work out and my weight is about 10lbs over where it should be. No matter what I do I can not get rid of this fat. I had lipo in this area and nothing changed. I can pinch a large amount of fat in this area. Can Coolsculpting be done in this area?

I would suggest obtaining a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for CoolSculpting or a different treatment/surgery that would suit your needs. CoolSculpting in this area would be considered off-label and the area would have to be assessed to see if it could be effectively treated.

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is approved to treat flanks and abdomen like areas. It is not recommended for use in the groin area and is not recommend. I recommend having a consultation with an expert in CoolSculpting for best results. Best of Luck!

Coolsculpting does not have FDA approval for the groin. Proceed with caution for this area. Consult with a board certified physician who can provide surgical and coolsculpting options to understand the best option for you.

You need to be seen and examined.  The are different distribution of fat in the groin and inner thigh region.  As mentioned previously these areas can be treated but are considered off-label.
