Question

I want to get a coolsculpting procedure directly over belly button. I did it above and below and had amazing results, but now the one inch of my waistline is protruding directly over the belly button area. What are the risk factors associated with doing it directly over belly button?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you can do coolscupting over and around the belly but I like trusculpt more for contouring and you should combine with trusculpt FLEX.

If you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like coolsculpting with vanquish or TrusculptID to get small areas of fat reduced.  Skin also tightens if you combine this with exilis ultra, venus legacy, Inmode Forma/Contoura radiofrequency treatments.  You boost the results from coolsculpting if you add in Kybella injections to melt fat as well.  We also combine coolsculpting with shock therapy like Z wave, EVIVE, and cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. The skin wipe serves to clean and protect skin and most importantly- remove residual water. Water freezes and the skin wipe's main ingredient is propylene glycol which is similar to what an antifreeze would do- protecting against cold. CoolSculpting applicators are designed with a precise and controlled cooling system, and contain more than three thousand sensors on each side, controlling the temperature to freeze and kill fat cells ONLY, while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected. Frostbite and skin damage are extremely unlikely. Hope this answers your question!

There are no issues with performing a CoolSculpting treatment over the belly button.  It is not unusual for the belly button to be in the treatment area, but applicator placement is individualized for each patient.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

CoolSculpting is safe and non- invasive. However, it is best to  schedule a physical consultation with a certified practitioner to go over your medical history and determine if you are a good candidate to get CoolSculpting in that area. They will also be able to provide correct placing of the applicators if needed.
