My stomach has scar tissue and I want to do a procedure to get my stomach smaller. What's recommend? (photo)

Unfortunately Coolsculpting does not treat scar tissue. Coolsculpting will only treat subcutaneous fat which is the outside layer of fat that we are able to grab. Scar tissue does not contain fat, instead it is made out of mostly collagen. There are a variety of different procedures or treatments that are known to help with diminishing scar tissue but Coolsculpting would not be one of them.

Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive  fat reduction for
the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage
applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed
onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and
typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal
results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the
patient's goals.  There is not downtime and the results can be impressive
in the right patient.  We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient
comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty
good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what. I recommend in office evaluation by a physician to make sure you are the right candidate for this procedure.  My best,

Cool Sculpting only makes a visible change when their is fat to decrease in bulges. A physical exam would be best for a certified practitioner to tell if you're a candidate but don't count on it working for scar tissue if that indeed is what you have. You may be able to just do the love handles on the side to bring in that area to achieve the hour glass shape you desire. Best of Luck.
