Dear writer, CoolSculpting is a safe, non-invasive procedure for fat reduction but should not be performed during breast feeding. During CoolSculpting, the fat cells in the treated area are subjected to permanent damage and eventually die and are reabsorbed/removed by the body completely within two to three months. During this process, particularly in the first few weeks, there will be low-grade inflammation in the areas or excess fat, which will eventually resolve and lead to fat elimination. It is during this early period that we would like to avoid having these inflammatory factors in the circulation and potentially reach your breast milk. As soon as you complete the breast feeding of your baby, it will be safe for you to have CoolSculpting and treat yourself to the smoother new mom shape that you deserve. Best wishes from Dr. Bowes.
Coolsculpting has not been studied for women who are pregnant or breast feeding. Therefore, it is best to not have coolsculpting done until you stop breast feeding.
Coolsculpting is a great procedure for reducing fat in a given area, especially the "baby" weight. I would, however, wait until after you are finished breastfeeding to have the procedure done.
Coolsculpting induces programmed cell death by damaging fat cells in the freezing process. IT is a great way of dealing with excessive adipose tissues and many women have been treated successfully after giving birth. However, there are no studies on breastfeeding and coolsculpting. Your best option is to wait and enjoy this special time with your baby.
Unfortunately, CoolSculpting® has not been extensivelystudied on women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Although the treatmentdoesn't add any chemicals to the body that could harm breast milk, it's best toproceed with caution. For the safety of you and your baby, consider postponingyour procedure until you're done breastfeeding. Thanks for your question.
It is best to wait until after you have finished breast-feeding your baby before receiving CoolScultping treatment.

However, we would recommendthat the doctors be mindful of the particular patient’s medical history;especially how recent the surgery was. Sometimes after abdominal surgeriesthere are adhesions, irregular scar tissue or other complications, and there issome possibility that these may cause some discomfort during/after a CoolSculpting
Coolsculpting is a unique way of freezing the fat cells in a given area. The fat cells are destroyed locally in that area. Coolsculpting is not a knonw contraindication for breast feeding but you should also check with your pediatrician as well.
Coolsculpting is an excellent non-invasive fat reduction tool. You will lose 20% of the fat in any given area treated. However, it will do nothing to address skin laxity or cellulite. Given your age and skin I would investigate Thermage for both cellulite and skin tightening. With the new Th...
Coolsculpting is a fabulous procedure to reduce a bulge in the abdomen or flanks. You definitely should not try to do the procedure on less water or a crash diet since you may feel weak before the procedure. The fat cells contain lipids and not water so being dehydrated would have no effect o...
