I was told not to use ibuprofen after cool sculpting as it stops the inflammatory process. Is this right?

I do not feel ibuprofen will have any significant effect on your outcome if you use it after coolsculpting.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There have not been any specific studies or any data on this so they answer is we do not actually know.  My belief and understanding on how this technology works however is that it should have no affect on the fat cells that are killed or lysed during the procedure.  The fat cell is more sensitive to freezing than other tissues and the cell membrane that holds the fat is destroyed...the inflammation is cause by our bodies going in to clean up the cellular debris left after treatment.  So I do not believe it will change the final outcome after treatment.  Postoperative massage appears to be helpful as well.All my Best!Dr Bengtson
