Can fat be harvested from an area where CoolSculpting was done 2 weeks prior?

February 26, 2015
Asked By:mimi48 in Los Angeles, CA

I recently had cool sculpting done to the arms and have decided to do body sculpting instead, which will involve some lipo and some fat grafting. Is the fat from the area that was cool sculpted still usable for fat harvesting? I know you can see the good vs bad fat under the microscope and it is separated before being used, but: how is it then separated effectively? What about fat in areas that underwent radio frequency treatments? I don't want to transfer fat that will die within 2 months. Thx!
