Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

Some hormones are dependent on the fat stores in the body so if someone is undergoing a work up or treatment for a hormonal imbalance, they might be best off to defer liposuction or CoolSculpting. I am not aware of this having been reported to be an issue with CoolSculpting but it would be wise to try to resolve a hormonal issue first.

As you age, your hormone levels will start to decline. I suggest you seek a trained bioidentical hormone replacement doctor to receive hormone therapy (which could be the root of your problem) before paying for expensive fat reduction procedures. Best of luck,Dr. Goldstein

Michael Law, MD · Answer

It is possible that a hormonal imbalance might make a person hold on to excess fat. You may wish to wait until your hormones are regulated for best result with Coolsculpting

I am unaware of Zeltiq having any impact on sex hormones but would suggest you discuss with your surgeon and your physician prescribing the hormones.
