Will CoolSculpting work for me? (photos)

Hello there. Yes CoolSculpting will work. CoolSculpting will remove 35 percent or so of the fat in the treated area each time it is treated. Maximum results are seen at 3 months after treatment. You can repeat treatments as often as every month. It is important to shape expectations before getting treatment. CoolSculpting is best used in combination with diet and exercise because it gets rid of the pinchable sub q fat only. Diet and exercise must be used to get rid of core fat.

CoolSculpting can be effective at reducing isolated areas of unwanted fat, but it is not a treatment for weight loss. With your height and weight, I would recommend weight loss before having any CoolSculpting done. It is also possible that you would have some excess skin after fat reduction, and CoolSculpting would not treat this issue.

Thank you for sharing your photo! It is difficult to tell without personally evaluating you, but people who have especially slack skin in their midsection and abdominal muscle weakness need more than what diet and exercise alone can offer. A surgical correction with an abdominoplasty reduces fat, tightens the abdominal wall muscles and removes hanging skin.

A non-surgical option is EMSCULPT – the only non-invasive procedure to help both women and men build muscle and sculpt their body. In addition to reducing fat of the abdomen and buttocks, EMSCULPT helps builds muscle to create a tighter, more defined look. It can also help improve diastasis recti, or the separation of the abdominal muscles from pregnancy. And with no downtime! I suggest making an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon for consultation to discuss your options.
