Can you have this done if you have multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia?

I appreciate your question.I would speak to your other doctors for clearance but there is no contraindication The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Neither multiple sclerosis nor fibromyalgia are absolute contraindications for CoolSculpting.  However I would recommend discussing these questions with the physician who will perform or supervise your CoolSculpting treatments to make sure that you aren't ideal candidate.

Dear puffdog:CoolSculpting (CS) is a relatively new, tried and true, non-surgical option for localized and limited fat reduction. If performed in a well-planned, multi-session approach, liposuction results coined "Treatment to Transformation" can be obtained.Like any surgical or surgical-like procedure, the individual must be examined to determine whether they and the procedure are a good, safe and efficacious match. This is no different with CoolSculpting.Included in the education materials provided for a CoolSculpting consultation should be a list of concerns to be evaluated with your well experienced, Board Certified CS Specialist. These include:» Cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria 

» Known sensitivity to cold such as cold urticaria or Raynaud’s disease

» Impaired peripheral circulation in the area to be treated 

» Neuropathic disorders such as post-herpetic neuralgia or diabetic
neuropathy 

» Impaired skin sensation

» Open or infected wounds

» Bleeding disorders or concomitant use of blood thinners 

» Recent surgery or scar tissue in the area to be treated 

» A hernia or history of hernia in the area to be treated or adjacent to
treatment site

» Skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, or rashes 

» Pregnancy or lactation

» Any active implanted devices such as pacemakers and defibrillatorsWhile they are not a comprehensive list nor are these absolute contra-indications to the CS procedure, they are a basis for discussion as to side-effects and risks.Multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia are not in themselves a contra-indication but should there be circulation or other above concerns in or around the area for CS, a discussion is warranted to diminish side-effects or complications. I trust this has been helpful. All the best!
