Can I Have CoolSculpting Procedure While on Coumadin?

August 3, 2012

I'm a 46 yr old male in about as good as shape as I can get but still have pretty large love handles from when I was a heavy kid. Went on Coumadin at 40 from PE....found I have genetic prothrombin gene 20210a mutation (factor II ). I have no problems with Coumadin...do not bleed more, do not bruise any worse, fast cardio & weights daily and INR stable for 6 years...no changing doses. Can I have cool sculpting; if not, can I come off & do lovenox regime until day of procedure? Thanks much!
