I had severe ulcerative colitis 8 years ago, which has settled due to taking daily medication. Is it safe to have cool sculpt on the stomach, or is there a chance it could trigger a reaction to the treatment.

Answer: CoolSculpting on stomach after ulcerative colitis A CoolSculpting treatment to the stomach (abdomen) would only have a lasting effect on reducing the superficial fat cells. It would have no effect on the gastrointestinal tract so I would say it would be okay for you to have a treatment with your past history of ulcerative colitis.

Answer: CoolSculpting and ulcerative colitis Hello, and thank-you for your question.CoolSculpting is a great, FDA-approved treatment for fat reduction of the abdomen and flanks. It can be used safely for off-label treatment of the upper arms, inner/outer thighs, bra-strap area and above the knees. The advance cooling technology selectively targets and eliminates fat cells gently and gradually without affecting the surrounding tissue.Patients in our office have seen an average fat reduction of 20-25% with each treatment. Depending on the patient's body composition and outcome goals, it may take more than one treatment to achieve optimal results. It takes about 2-3 months to get a general idea of the final results. The results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable healthy lifestyle. Having a history of ulcerative colitis does not preclude treatment with CoolSculpting. I recommend scheduling a consultation to determine if your an ideal candidate for CoolSculptingBest regards,Andrew Lyos MD, FACS
