I had coolsculpting 3 weeks ago and after 2 days I have had a pain under my right rib. Doctor has informed me it is my gallbladder. Could the lipo treatment have caused it, if so how long will it last.
Answer: CoolSculpting has a very high safety rating and does not freeze internal organs CoolSculpting won't damage a gall bladder or liver. It might cause tenderness on a rib cage from the suction applied during the whole treatment time and can cause pain over the hip bones if the applicator was applied to those areas.Any unusual symptoms should be evaluated by your treating doctor and primary care doctor as well and possibly a referral to a specialist to rule out coincidental secondary medical issues.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.

Answer: Coolsculpting will not damage your gallbladder Coolsculpting is a completely non invasive treatment that only treats the fat layer under the skin. It cannot have any effect on structures below the muscles and rib cage.

Answer: Can CoolSculpting damage my gallbladder/liver? It is extremely unlikely that Cool Sculpting caused a gall bladder injury. If you have a hernia in the area it is possible, but still very unlikely that you would have an isolated gall bladder problem.

Answer: Discomfort after CoolSculpting It would be very unlikely that the CoolSculpting treatment had any effect on your gallbladder. Depending on where you had your CoolSculping treatment on your abdomen it is possible that you have a bruise in that area or that some of the superficial nerves in that area are temporarily irritated. In my experience, treating over the lower ribs can cause a little more discomfort than other areas on the abdomen. Having said that, if you are having continued pain in that area then you need to see your doctor for an evaluation and work up to make sure there isn't a separate issue going on with your gallbladder. Best of luck!
