Can You Do Coolsculpting on Your Stomach if You Have Had Lapband Surgey?

Question

William Groff, DO · Answer

CoolSculpting is an excellent way to rid yourself of stubborn fat after successfully losing weight through lapband surgery, as long as you have healed completely. If your surgery was within the last year or so, you would need to obtain medical clearance from your surgeon. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to be sure you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting.

Thank you for your question. Although, Coolsculpting is a safe and non-invasive procedure, I would recommend getting a medical clearance from your primary care provider. If it has been several years since your procedure, it should be a safe procedure if you are a good candidate.  I would recommend being treated under the supervision of a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon for safest and best treatment option. I hope this helps.

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

you should wait a while after surgery (lap band) before undergoing CoolSculpting. Allow the surgery to heal and check with your surgeon that the suction of the coolsculpting won't create a problem.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Cool sculpting should be safe after the lapband procedure as long as enough time has passed since the surgery and your physician has cleared you for the surgery.  Please be certain to consult an experienced board certified physician for this procedure.

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

There is no reason that you can't do Coolsculpting on the abdomen after a lapband or gastric bypass surgery.   If the problem you are trying to address is more lax skin than fat it may not be ideal however.  It would be best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon that is also experienced in Coolsculpting to evaluate if you are a good candidate for Coolsculpting or would be better served by a tummy tuck procedure. 

	Good luck!
