Can you get cool sculpting if your belly button is an outie?

If your “outie”
bellybutton is caused by a hernia, then CoolSculpting would not be
appropriate for you. If you don't have a hernia, then there should be
no problem as we don't generally place the CoolSculpting applicators
directly over the navel. CoolSculpting also does not affect the skin
at all. Its cryolipolysis technology lowers the temperature
sufficiently to freeze fat cells, but not enough to affect skin or
other surrounding tissues. When you consult with a board-certified
dermatologist, your navel will be evaluated for the presence of a
hernia and it will then be determined if you are a candidate for
CoolSculpting.

As long as you are not dealing with a hernia, an "outie" belly button is nothing to be concerned about in terms of having CoolSculpting® done. If you have a hernia, it is not advisable to seek CoolSculpting® until the issue has been addressed.

What is commonly referred to as an outie bellybutton generally represents an umbilical hernia. I would not normally recommended CoolSculpting to the abdomen for a patient who has a bellybutton like this. For patients like yourself we usually give the OK for CoolSculpting to any adjacent areas not near the bellybutton (flanks, thighs, etc.) We are also able to easily repair an umbilical hernia and simultaneously reduce fat in the abdomen area with a little liposuction. I would recommend consulting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area to discuss which treatment options would be best for you.
