Better to eat before or after CoolSculpting?

There is no definite rule on eating before or after CoolSculpting. Most of our patients eat snacks while watching a movie or reading a book during the treatment. Because patients occasionally feel a little light-headed right after any sort of treatment in a doctor’s office from low blood sugar, I would recommend eating a light meal before the treatment and bringing a few light snacks to eat during the treatment.

I appreciate your question.You can eat before, during or afterThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Eating before or after the procedure is fine.  My general recommendation is to have a bite to eat or bring some food along with you if you are having multiple procedures.  Depending on the number of treatment areas, you could be there a long time.  We have brought on more more than one device so we can do 'Dualsculpting' or 'Trisculpting'.  This allows for multiple applicator placed on at the same time and greatly reduce the treatment times.

Thank you for your question.  Here at Stillwater Plastic Surgery we have found that patients feel their best during their procedure when they have something to eat prior to their treatment.  Typically, we offer patients something to drink as well as a snack during their procedure if they are interest.  I would suggest contacting the office that is treating you see what they prefer.  Best wishes.

Clinically it shouldn't make much of a difference. Obviously your comfort is generally what is most important so my recommendation would be that you bring a snack to stay on your eating schedule. I had CoolSculpting performed on myself about 4 months ago and can tell you from experience that it is not something that I would want to do after having a big heavy meal but so long as you are sticking to your regular schedule I would think that you should do fine. I have been most impressed with this technology and have been recommending it to all of my friends and family.
