Would I be a possible candidate for CoolSculpting? (Photo)

Hello Inventive239200, first of all thank you for sharing your images as this provides some insight as to whether or not you are a candidate. My name is Melanie and I am a Medical Aesthetician and one of our Body Contouring Specialist here at Aesthetic Skin located in Illinois.

coolsculpting is generally recommended to complete in a series of 2 treatments spaced out 4-6 weeks apart. From the images, it does look as if you would be a candidate to treat the flanks. However, an in person consultation will be necessary to determine a true treatment plan. There is a process in the face to face consultation that we will measure and mark up determining how many applicators will be necessary for an effective treatment. Please feel free to contact our office to set up a in person consultation should you decide to proceed in this direction I will be more than happy to provide this to you. our office number is 312-944-0117

You are a great candidate for Coolsculpting of your flanks. I recommend you go to a clinic that is very experienced with Coolsculpting for a consult. Depending on how the applicator fits, you may need more than one session, and as well, often the flanks extend a little around the back, so you may want sessions in that area as well. At a consult, after you are examined in person, a full treatment plan can be outlined for you.
Liposuction is also a good option for you, however that will require more down time.

You are a great candidate for coolsculpting because you dont have a ton of fat and that a small amount removed will give you a beautiful result.

I would say that you appear to be a good candidate for CoolSculpting of the flanks, but an examination of you would ultimately be needed to know for sure. I would plan on two treatment sessions.

Patients often look different in person to a photograph, and there are other factors to consider. You look like a great candidate for CS, but Emsculpt NEO might also be an option over two cycles of CS - Combo treatments work amazingly well - The benefit being that Cooolsculpting will sculpt while Emsculpt NEo will also reduce fat and build muslce tone simultaneously. Some great options, but find a clinic that will consult you correctly and work with them to get the outcomes you are looking for.

Thanks for the photos. You do appear to be a candidate for CoolSculpting on your flanks. The best CoolSculpting candidates are within 20 lbs of their ideal body weight since CoolSculpting is a permanent fat removal treatment for localized areas of unwanted fat and not a weight loss treatment. Each treatment will remove approximately 20% of the fat in the treated area over a 4 month period. Whether you will need 1 or 2 treatments will depend on how much fat you wish to remove, but most patients are happier with the results from 2 treatments. I would suggest a consultation with a physician who is experienced with CoolSculping who can properly assess you and advise you properly. Best wishes, Mary Beth Mudd, M.D.
