Can CoolSculpting be done on legs/calves?

Question

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

It is possible that CoolSculpting could be performed on the calves, but an exam would be needed to determine if someone might be a good candidate for the procedure.  Treating the calves would be considered an off-label treatment area and the exam would be needed to determine the amount of fat versus muscle in the area.  CoolSculpting will only affect the fat and not the muscle.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the legs or caves are not areas that can be treated with CoolSculpting. If you have concerns, you can try speaking to a board certified plastic surgeon to explore other possible options. Regards,

CoolSculpting has not been FDA approved for the calves.  Liposuction may be an option for you.  Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for other options.Best wishes,Cody Koch

For shaping of the calf area I choose liposuction to provide the beast and most consistent results.  There is not enough tissue to treat with a Coolsculpting applicator in these areas typically.
