What are my options to fix CoolSculpting dents? (Photo)

Question

I have dents in my legs from CoolSculpting. The med spa office told me to cup - which is really quite uncomfortable and I basically have to do it every day forever. I saw another PS about potentially lipo or fat transfer and he said he wouldn't work on it. What are my options, really, to fix this?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

this needs liposuction, internal heating, and/or thigh lifting to get improvement surgically. non surgically trusculpt flex, RF treatments, and sculptra mixed with radiesse, bellafill or renuva.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Typically call sculpting does not work enough to create problems. Unfortunately when it does it leaves what looks like cell phone imprints.

Your provider knows very well that this is permanent and you have been left disfigured. Cupping is not going to work and they know that.

If cupping could change fat distribution then millions of women around the world would be doing it daily for that purpose.

The two treatment options are fat transfer and revision Liposuction.

This is a very tricky part of the body to start with and even liposuction results are pretty difficult to get right in this area.

Fat transfer may actually work well since cool sculpting doesn’t aggressively remove most of the tissue like Liposuction can.

Still, the survival rates for fat transfer can be finicky and imprecise and it would most likely require multiple rounds of treatment.

If you opt for revision Liposuction as a treatment option you should make absolutely sure that the provider who is doing this has done thousands of cases before and has a proven track record with Liposuction in difficult areas.

There is no easy fix.

You should hold the provider accountable for your outcome.

Best,
