Could my appendectomy after CoolSculpting affected the results?

Question

I had an appendectomy 1 month after my CoolSculpting, could this have interfered with my results? (or lack of).

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, this is unlikely to negatively impact your results. Keep in mind, Coolsculpting needs a combination approach to get the most improvement and may need re-treatments to get desired results. For best results, I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, a Vaser liposuction/liposculpture with ThermiRF/J plasma/Renuvion/InMode BodyTite procedure is the best combination for a toned result. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I don’t feel that having abdominal surgery one month after coolsculpting should have any negative effect on your results

Unless you were sedentary after your appendectomy and gained a bunch of weight then it's unlikely your surgery will interfere with your CoolSculpting results. Best wishes.

Having an appendectomy 1 month after CoolSculpting should not affect your ultimate results.  There could be some temporary swelling to your abdomen after the appendectomy and CoolSculpting results can take up to 12 weeks.  Some people also require more than one CoolSculpting session to obtain their desired results.

Thank you for your question.  CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment that is intended to change the appearance of the treatment area by delivering controlled cooling at the surface of the skin to break down fat cells.  An appendectomy would not affect your results which can take up to 3 months.  Best of luck.

Once you have Coolsculpting, the process is complete in the sense that the cells that have died and are eliminated can not come back. (whether you want them to our not)  If you gained weight after your surgery as a result of not being able to exercise regularly that may contribute to not seeing the results you had hoped for.  Most patients however do require more than one treatment to achieve their desired outcome.  If you have been cleared by your surgeon you can have a second treatment to help further your results.  Hang in there!

Thank you for your question! The Appendectomy procedure should not affect the results from your Coolsculpting treatment. There may be swelling in the abdomen from the Appendectomy procedure. Coolsculpting takes a full 90 days to see results and many patients need multiple treatments to an area. I would recommend following up with your Certified Coolsculpting provider if you have any further questions or concerns regarding your Coolsculpting treatment. Best of luck!

Hello there! The result seen from Coolsculpting will not be affected unless you gain weight. You may be noticing some swelling due to surgical healing/bloating from pain medication and IV solutions. Typically we recommend two Coolsculpting treatments to each area, about 6-8 weeks apart. You are not seeing the final result yet. Good luck and speedy recovery! Sarah RN BSN
