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?
Answer: Cool Sculpting in Overweight Client The reason for this statement in my opinion is that cool sculpting has limitations on what would give a person a visible and positive outcome. Each treatment costs anywhere from $750-$1500 per cycle and if a client is not at or near their healthy height and weight you could literally be treating areas several times over and still not get a visible result. You could be spending thousands of dollars on a treatment which would still not make you happy which just isn't the right thing to do. Hope this helps.

Answer: Candidates for CoolSculpting Great candidates for CoolSculpting are typically within 30 lbs of their ideal weight and wanting to address pinchable areas of fat in order to contour their body. Ideal is variable from person to person, but the results may not be as effective for some patients. Whether CoolSculpting is the right procedure for a patient depends on the his or her unique goals and is determined at a consultation appointment. CoolSculpting is not an alternative for weight loss as many patients may not even lose weight. Specific bulges of fat are able to be reduced by 25% incrementally, and this may not be evident on a scale. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon on the procedure that would be best for you to achieve your aesthetic goal. Good luck!

Answer: Coolsculpting for overweight or obese people? Thank you for your question; coolsculpting has limitations and that may be the reason why certain people may not be a good candidate for the procedure. Coolsculpting works on subcutaneous fat or what we call “pinchable fat” and not the fat the surrounds organs (visceral fat). This is also not a procedure that will help tighten loose skin, which can occur form an obese person losing a lot of weight. A consult is warranted to see if the desire outcome is something that can be achieved with coolsculpting alone, or is surgical option needed.

Answer: CoolSculpting vs SculpSure and HI DEF 4D CONTOURING Non invasive options like coolsculpting and sculpsure only do a 20% improvement at most during a single treatment. They do not work well for those overweight as they are contouring procedures. Best, Dr. Emer.
