Can CoolSculpting be done on the hips or not?

Thank you for your question! Yes, we are able to perform CoolSculpting on your hips. It is best to have a in person consultation to determine what would be best for you.  We also recommend using Alastin TransForm Body to help accelerate your results.  

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, CoolSculpting is very effective when treating an area such as your hips. It is not approved to be used over the buttocks, but it can be used in areas that surround the buttocks, such as the hips, inner and outer thighs, and to treat the fat at the base of the buttocks. CoolSculpting is very effective when you are looking to eliminate small pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, so the best candidates are usually already at their goal weight. We usually see about a 20% fat reduction per treatment and it's not uncommon to treat one area anywhere from 1-3 times. I highly recommend that you book an in person consultation with a CoolSculpting provider at a certified CoolSculpting practice in order to assess whether this is the right procedure for you and the result that you are looking to achieve.

CoolSculpting is commonly used to reduce fat on the hips.  There are a variety of areas on the hips and thighs that can potentially be treated.  

If you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like Coolsculpting with Vanquish or trusculpt iD to get small areas of fat reduced. Skin also tightens if you combine this with Exilis Ultra, Venus Legacy, and Inmode Forma/Contoura radiofrequency treatments. You boost the results from Coolsculpting if you add in Kybella injections to melt fat as well. We often combine Coolsculpting with shock therapy like ZWave, EVIVE, and Cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia. Coolsculpting often takes a few treatments separated 8 to 12 weeks apart to get significant improvement. However, to get the most fat removal, contouring, skin tightening and definition, a VASER HI-DEF liposuction / liposculpture procedure with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite and fat grafting is your best bet. This will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring and hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question! CoolSculpting treatment may be done on the outside of the thighs as well as just beneath the buttocks. In order to be a good candidate for treatment on the outside thigh there must be a true “saddle bag” to treat. Treating directly over the buttocks is not an approved area. I would recommend seeing a CoolSculpting specialist to discuss your concerns and determine if you are a good candidate. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.

Yes, CoolSculpting can be applied to the hip area to create a slimmer contour.
Fat will often accumulate on the hips, giving you a broader silhouette. Even after intensive sports and diets, this fat can be very stubborn. We use dual-sculpting (application of two machines at the same time) that allows the fat deposits on the hips, flanks and back to be easily tackled all at the same time.
Our clinic offers complimentary consultations to create a bespoke treatment plan for you. 

Thank you for your question. Ye, you can treat the hip area with coolSculpting . Make sure you get assessed by a physician if you are a candidate for the procedure. CoolSculpting is a permanent procedure so you want to make sure it is done right. Best of Luck!

Great question!  CoolSculpting can be used to permanently remove fat from the hips which are on the sides of your body, but it is not used for treatment over the buttocks,  I would advise you to seek consultation from a physician who is experienced with CoolSculpting treatments who can assess your body and help you to determine where the device could be placed to help you achieve the results you desire.  Best wishes, Mary Beth Mudd

Thank you for your question. Yes, CoolSculpting can be done on hips to treat saddle bags. It can also be done underneath the buttock for the treatment of the “banana rolls” fat. Often, two sessions are needed for optimal results. I recommend visiting a CoolSculpting certified practice for a consultation and see if you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting. All the best, Dr.Michon
