I had coolsculpting done on both upper arms and while it did reduce the size of my arms, I know have a sac of fat over my elbows which bothers me a lot and looks bad. Can this be reversed?
Answer: Shaping the arms with VASER, ThermiRF, fat grafting No, it is unlikely redistributed fat, but is most likely untreated fat. For circumferential areas like the arms, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER HI DEF to get the best results. Coolsculpting can remove stubborn areas of fat, but lacks the ability to create contours and definition. The best treatment for the arms is a combination of VASER HI DEF liposuction with ThermiRF and fat grafting. This combination will give you the most fat removal while also giving contour and definition to the arms. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Can you have fat redistribute after CoolSculpting? Thanks for your question. Coolsculpting reduces fat cells in the treated area by 20 % - 25%. These cells are permanently eliminated from the body, they do not redistribute to other areas of the body. I recommend getting an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss treatment options for this area.Regards,

Answer: CoolSculpting and redistribution of fat Thank you for your question. In most instances, there is very little chance of fat redistribution post treatment with CoolSculpting, unless the patient gains a considerable amount of weight. Based on the photo you have provided, it would appear that this is not a case of fat redistribution. There are occasionally times when one needs to treat adjacent areas after the results of CoolSculpting have fully presented. That would appear to be the case here. I would suggest that you schedule a followup visit with your CoolSculpting provider and see if you can get these pockets of fat treated, so that your arms will attain a more balanced and pleasing appearance. Good luck with everything!

Answer: Fat redistribution after CoolSculpting? Thank you for your question. It is unlikely that this is redistributed fat, it is most likely untreated fat. Coolsculpting lacks the ability to create contours and definition. I would suggest using Kybella in this area. I recommend having a follow up with your physician so this can be evaluated and you can discuss your concerns with him/her. Best of Luck!

Answer: Coolscupting this is a good question. The fat did not redistribute after the procedure. What probably happened was that the applicator did not cover that area and therefore the area was not treated. You could have an additional coolsculpting treatment with different placement /overlap of applicator in that area. Other options would be to inject kybella into the area to dissolve the fat that is left or liposuction to even it out.
