Is Crohn's Disease a Contraindication for Zeltiq?

November 30, 2011
Asked By:SwissCanuck

Hello, I am a 47 year old woman considering Zeltiq (CoolSculpting)for lower abdomen and love handles. I am very slim (5'6, 120 lbs) and very fit. I have Crohn's Disease (in full remission over 5 years)and am worried about all patients who have abdominal pain and cramping etc. post-procedure. Is this normal and is Crohn's Disease contraindicated? Thank you for your assistance.
