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.
