Answer: CoolSculpting Evens Out Lipo Lumps Earlier types of liposuction sometimes resulted in areas that looked lumpy due to large cannulas leaving hills and valleys of uneven fat distribution. If fat deposits are causing the lumpiness, CoolSculpting may resolve this issue for you, but you may need skin tightening as well. If severe, I sometimes repair lumpiness with tumescent liposculpture using tiny cannulas on the hills and do a fat transfer to the valleys. However, if your problem isn’t too bad, non-invasive techniques may work well. CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis – a patented technique that freezes fat cells, causing them to die and be permanently eliminated from the body – without affecting surrounding tissue. This means that if a lumpy bulging portion of your thigh was treated with CoolSculpting, only the fat would be dissolved, allowing the area to look smoother. You may need more than one treatment, as CoolSculpting can only eliminate 30% of fat at a time. It may also be possible to reduce small bumps with the injectable Kybella. This is typically used for fat under the chin, but if the bumps on the leg are small, Kybella plus skin tightening with Thermage, Thermi 250 or Exilis may give you the desired results. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who is skilled in body contouring and skin tightening to see what technology will best solve your problem.

Answer: Coolsculpting for inner thighs Coolsculpting is an effective treatment to reduce the fatty tissue in the inner thigh region. However, if your goal is symmetry, then you may want to consider liposuction with an experienced plastic surgeon since they can be much more precice as to how much volume to remove.

Answer: Coolsculpting is not designed to even out lumps from liposuction
You would need an examination to determine what is best for your contour. CoolSculpting is not a procedure that is designed to finesse the focal irregularities that some people get after liposuction. It is appropriate for generalized fullness in certain anatomic sites.
