Coolsculpting concerns - I take aspirin daily as a blood thinner and have had blood clots before.

Question

Can I have this procedure? Are there chances of blood clots with this procedure?

Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

CoolSculpting
is a very safe fat-elimination technique that works by lowering the
temperature of fat to the point where the fat cells begin to
destruct. It does not affect surrounding tissue, nor will it have any
effect on your circulation or cause blood clots. It is perfectly fine
to take aspirin prophylactically and also receive CoolSculpting. You
may have a bit more bruising than usual on the aspirin, but nothing
that is excessive. Please find a board-certified dermatologist who
can determine if you are a candidate for CoolSculpting.

Coolsculpting is a non-invasive procedure and has no increased risk of blood clots.  Anti-coagulants can increase the risk of bruising after coolsculpting.   Seek out a Board-Certified specialist and have a full discussion of your medical history and concerns prior to treatment.  Be wary of medspa type facilities that have no physician oversight.  Best of luck.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, if you're a candidate, you can have Coolsculpting while taking aspirin for blood clots. For best results with Coolsculpting, I recommend a combination approach. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
