Had spinal surgery and a titanium rod infrom the mid back down to the end of my spine. Could I still have CoolSculpting done?

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can Coolsculpting after spinal surgery. The Coolsculpting procedure only cools the skin and therefore the spine will not be affected. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment. Also, please disclose your spinal surgery to the treating physician. Best of Luck!

It sounds like you had your spinal fusion operation performed with an incision along the middle of your back; you should be able to have Coolsculpting with no problems. The only reason why spinal surgery may be a problem is if your incision is on the front or side of your abdomen; in this case Coolsculpting is still possible, but your treating Coolsculpting professional should check your abdomen for a hernia at the site of the scar. When was your operation? Your spinal surgeon may prefer for you to wait a few months between the operation and your Coolsculpting. If you have any concerns at all, I would advise you to speak to your spinal surgeon before having Coolsculpting. As a general rule, surgical implants are not a concern when we are treating with Coolsculpting, as the applicator cools the skin and superficial fat only.
