Does Coolsculpting Work on Back Fat?

CoolSculpting can definitely be effective for back fat. It may require 2-4 applicators depending on the area and amount of fat, but as long as the fat can be suctioned into the applicator in order to be treated properly, then you should be a good candidate. Each applicator usually reduces about 20-25% of the fat in the area. It is best to get a consultation in order to assess if CoolSculpting is the right choice for you.

Thank you for your question! Yes, our CoolSculpting patients have seen incredible results in the reduction of  stubborn fat on the upper back, bra strap area and flanks. It is important to keep in mind that CoolSculpting works best when you are close to or at your ideal body weight and may require several treatments for optimal results. I highly recommend meeting with your preferred physician for a consultation so they can outline a treatment plan and let you know how many treatments you will need to achieve your desired results.

Upper
and lower back fat can be frustrating and prevent you from having the toned
body you want. CoolSculpting is an effective treatment for both areas, but
multiple treatments may be needed. This is an "off-label" use because
it has not been specifically cleared by the FDA, but it is effective. In some
cases, I may recommend a liposuction technique such as Smartlipo, which is a
laser-assisted procedure that removes fat and tightens the skin. Schedule a
consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who offers CoolSculpting
and who can conduct a physical examination. Keep in mind that CoolSculpting
reduces fat in the treatment area by about 20 to 25%, but does not require
downtime. Liposuction gets more dramatic results, but you will need to take
time to recover.
