Can coolsculpting be done if you have a pacemaker or lap band?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, you can have Coolsculpting with a pacemaker and/or lap band. Keep in mind, Coolsculpting is good for stubborn areas of fat, but lacks skin tightening and body shaping. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction which can be combined with a tummy tuck or other lifting procedure for skin tightening. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

You just can't treat directly over the devices, but those are otherwise not contraindications to Coolsculpting.

Yes, CoolSculpting only treats subcutaneous fat. It will not have an impact on your pacemaker or lap band procedure.
