I did have a consult but still the question is will CoolSculpting make my skin sag after treatment? I am not over weight but had two abdominal surgeries with slight laxity. I am not overweight but the surgery did cause a little laxity and some bulging. I wanted to try CoolSculpting to remove the fat pockets, but fear sagging.
Answer: Sagging after CoolSculpting Coolsculpting would be an excellent option to debulk excess subcutaneous fat pockets. It does result in a small amount of skin retraction but not enough to compensate for significant skin laxity. If you get CoolSculpting in an area of significant skin laxity, the removal of the fat might make the area seem even more sagging by leaving nothing to fill the loose skin.

Answer: The good news is that CoolSculpting can permanently remove fat but the bad news Thank you for your question! The good news is that CoolSculpting can permanently remove fat but the bad news, is that CoolSculpting will not help skin laxity. Although CoolSculpting will not further damage collagen which would cause more skin laxity, removing some of the underlying fat might make the skin seem saggier - think of removing stuffing from a pillow which makes the walls of the pillow seem more floppy. If I see a patient with skin laxity, I will commonly suggest LaserLipo since this has been shown to improve skin laxity since the heat stimulates collagen production. I would strongly suggest getting a consultation with a physician who is experienced with assessing both fat and skin laxity to help you determine the best the options to help you achieve the results you desire. Best of luck!
