I am 6 1/2 months post partum from my last child.I gained a whopping 60lbs with him. I have 25 more pounds to go. I am actively dieting and exercising. I have always had the lower belly bulge even before I had kids and my legs have always been troublesome as far as rubbing together. I am 5'10'' large build and currently weigh 196.My normal weight is 170-175. I have been researching coolsculpting and wonder if I should go ahead and do it now or wait until I have finished losing all my weight?
Answer: Best CoolSculpting Candidates are Close to Ideal Weight The ideal candidate for CoolSculpting is a man or woman who is happy with their overall weight but unhappy with small pockets of stubborn fat that don't respond to diet or exercise. Good candidates have reasonable expectations of what this treatment can achieve and understand that it's not a weight loss tool. Because you are continuing to lose weight, you will probably find that you will achieve a better result if you wait until you are as close as possible to your goal. Better candidates tend to achieve better results with fewer complications.

Answer: Appropriate BMI for Coolsculpting or Liposonix Your current BMI is 28.1. Ideally your BMI should be less than 20 for a non-invasive fat removal procedure such as Coolsculpting. This is because with a BMI above 20 you may not be able to readily see the results. Additionally, I encourage you to investigate Liposonix which is a great alternative to Coolsculpting. If you are unable to reach this goal, you may be a candidate for laser assisted microcannular liposuction such as SmartLipo or SlimLipo.

Answer: CoolSculpting after pregnancy This is a great question. In my opinion, if you are not within 10-15% of your ideal body weight then you should continue with your diet and exercise to lose the remaining weight. Once you are closer to your ideal body weight then CoolSculpting can be done to get rid of the stubborn bulges of fat that have not gone away with diet or exercise. Remember, CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure, it is more of a body contouring treatment. Good luck to you!
