Why are procedures like coolsculping NOT for the overweight or obese?

Asked By:atsukosmiles in York, PA

Lots of doctors say "This procedure isn't for weight loss" but I have never seen further explanation on different scenarios. For instance, let's say an obese or overweight person meets virtually the same qualifications you ask of your normal weight patients (eg. near their ideal goal weight, has kept steady weight, generally no health issues and not looking to use the procedure for weight loss but instead what its meant for, sculpting. Why or why not would this person be a good candidate?
