Almost all my fat seems to gather on my hips. Is Cryolipolysis a good option for removing a large amount of fat from the hips?
Answer: CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) by Zeltiq can be used off-label for hips
If you have an excessive amount of fat, liposuction would be more effective. However, if there is a focal bulge of fat, and if the CoolSculpting applicator fits well over the area, then with several non-invasive treatments, you might be pleased with the fat reduction that Zeltiq causes by permanently killing some of those fat cells. Some doctors have found that using more than one applicator in an overlapping pattern can help reduce the amount of fat better than with one solitary treatment. Repeated treatments can be given every six weeks or more. There can be side effects, and although they are tolerable, make sure you discuss them in detail with your doctor.Our NYC patients continue to be very happy with their Zeltiq CoolSculpting results.

Answer: Coolsculpting for hips Coolsculpting has come out with an applicator for the hips. You may see a reduction, but it may take more than one treatment if you have large volumes there. I would recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if Coolsculpting is an option for you versus liposuction which is the gold standard to reshape this area.

Answer: Is Cryolipolysis or Cool Sculpting Good for Removing Large Amounts of Fat on the Hips? Thanks for your question. CoolSculpting tends to work the best on smaller fatty pockets. For larger amounts of fat Liposuction may be a better option. I would advise you to meet with a Board Certified Surgeon to discuss both options. Best wishes.

Answer: Coolsculpting is great for treating the love handles
If by hips you mean love handles, Coolsculpting might be great for you. It's difficult to tell without actually seeing you, but I frequently treat the love handles with Coolsculpting. Good luck!

Answer: CoolSculpting is great for reducing thigh fat CoolSculpting works great on thighs and saddle bags. Just look up some CoolSculpting before and after pictures of the outer thigh. There is actually a specific CoolSculpting applicator for the lateral thigh called the CoolSmooth Applicator. Bulges in the outer thigh area are different from the bulges on your belly. The outer thigh has something called hard fat. It’s not something you can pinch. Most CoolSculpting applicators require pinchable fat so the bulge can be gently suctioned up into the applicator where the cooling panel is located. The suction also secures the applicator to the treatment area. The CoolSmooth is designed to treat hard fat or areas that lack enough pinchable fat to be properly suctioned. The CoolSmooth uses comfortable straps to attach the applicator to the treatment area, and the proprietary design does a great job of freezing away hard fat.
