I would like to have coolsculpting done on my abdomen, mostly my stomach. I have not had children yet and would like to in the next few years. Will this procedure affect my fertility, ovarian reserve, or any of my reproductive organs? Seeing this is a relatively new procedure with no long term studies completed, we might not know what, if any, are the long term effects. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Kerri

Answer: CoolSculpting Won't Affect Fertility One of the reasons that CoolSculpting is such a successful and safe treatment is that it only targets fat cells. It does not lower the temperature of skin or surrounding tissues sufficiently to have any effect on them aside from some possible short-term bruising, redness or soreness of the skin immediately after treatment. CoolSculpting does not reach below the fat level and cannot affect any organs – including the ovaries. Many of my patients have become pregnant after CoolSculpting. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to see if you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting.

Answer: CoolSculpting CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that targets and freezes fat cells in the skin, without damaging surrounding tissue or internal organs. CoolSculpting does not reach beyond fat cells in the skin, so it should not have any effect on a person’s fertility. That being said, we do not recommend CoolSculpting or any other fat reduction procedure be done if actively trying to become pregnant.
