Can I get CoolSculpting to get rid of extra thigh fat if I have a hip bone issue?

 CoolSculpting treats fat and really has no effect on other tissues, nor should it interact with your hip replacement. However, I’d suggest either doing the CoolSculpting before your surgery or wait until some time afterwards. Your skin may be too tender for CoolSculpting if you have it done too quickly after your surgery. Please find a board-certified dermatologist to perform your CoolSculpting and please do tell him or her about your hip replacement.

Yes, you can have Coolsculpting. However, for best results shaping the thighs, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

You certainly can go ahead and get CoolSculpting on your thighs, as it will not adversely affect your hip bones. However, you mention that you will soon be having a hip replacement surgery. I would wait to have the CoolSculpting done until after you’ve fully recovered from your hip replacement. During your hip surgery recovery, you’ll be fairly inactive for several months, which could lead to weight gain that could negatively impact your CoolSculpting results. Wait until you’ve fully regained your health to tackle your cosmetic concerns.

Good afternoon and thank you for your inquiry. CoolSculpting is not contraindicated as only affects subcutaneous fat. I recommend to visit a certified physician to evaluate you in person and to assest if you are a good candidate. Good luck!

CoolSculpting only targets subcutaneous fat and would not affect any part of the skeletal system. If you have any concerns regarding CoolSculpting, it is best to go to an in person consultation where you can be evaluated for the procedure.

Generally speaking bone and joints issues are not contraindications for Coolsculpting. I would suggest you pick a place for CS where you can be seen and cleared by doctor before the procedure.
