Should I consider have CoolSculpting done for c-section pooch? (Photos)

CoolSculpting is a great minimally invasive non-surgical way to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to exercise especially around the abdomen. It definitely works and the results are permanent. CoolSculpting works by freezing your fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated from your body in the weeks following your treatment. That said it will not get rid of loose or excess skin. If you are looking to get rid of loose skin you may be a better candidate for a tummy tuck. I highly recommend that you book an in-person complimentary consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or a certified CoolSculpting provider in order to assess what procedure would be the best for you.

Hello andreakarina,Yes, I think you are a great candidate for CoolSculpting. If your goal is to get rid of that stubborn fat so as to reduce the shelf from the scar, but are otherwise happy with the rest of your body then by all means you should give a try. You'll get good results while avoiding the downtime and risk of surgery. If the results aren't what you expected then you can always do surgery in the future.Be sure to consult with a center that offers both surgical and non-surgical body contouring so that you will get an objective recommendation.Best, of luck,Oscar A.

Hello,Based on your photos and description, Coolsculpt may be a great option for you! Coolsculpt is a great non-invasive fat reduction treatment for those stubborn areas of fat. I recommend consulting with your local service provider for a proper assessment. They will determine the best treatment plan for you. Good luck. 

If you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like Coolsculpting with Vanquish or trusculpt iD to get small areas of fat reduced. Skin also tightens if you combine this with Exilis Ultra, Venus Legacy, and Inmode Forma/Contoura radiofrequency treatments. You boost the results from Coolsculpting if you add in Kybella injections to melt fat as well. We often combine Coolsculpting with shockwave therapy like ZWave, EVIVE, and Cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia. Coolsculpting often takes a few treatments separated 8 to 12 weeks apart to get significant improvement.
However, to get the most fat removal, contouring, skin tightening and definition, a VASER HI-DEF liposuction / liposculpture procedure with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite and fat grafting is your best bet. This will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring and hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi.  Thanks for the question and the photos.Yes, you are a good candidate for CS.  Each treatment will reduce the fat 20-25%.  You will need multiple treatments.  You may always have a bit of an overhang, because your scar is pulling your skin in, making the pooch look worse than it is.  Lipo with skin tightening with J-plasma is a good alternative, but will likely be more expensive.Best of luck.Michael Kerin MDKerin MedSpa
