Will losing weight immediately after CoolSculpting affect results?

CoolSculpting is an incredibly effective way to eliminate fat from those specific problem areas in people who are otherwise relatively fit. A healthy diet and exercise plan is always a great idea, before and after you have your CoolSculpting treatment. For your best chance at not gaining the weight back, make sure you lose it in a healthy and sustainable way. Further, you can consult a personal trainer or nutritionist if you need help developing a plan to lose weight and keep it off.

you can assist CoolSculpting's result in reducing more fat if you diet. However, you shouldn't plan on gaining weight right back. you need to be committed to keep off what you got rid of by diet and exercise. If you should gain weight, there are fat cells in the abdomen that can fill with new fat as not all fat cells are killed by the freezing technique. The same applies to those who undergo liposuction.

There is no downtime after Coolsculpting. We recommend you continue your regular exercise activities. You might feel some tenderness and soreness after a few days but that is normal. You can wear a compression garment to help with the tenderness and soreness. I suggest you find a certified coolsculpting practice for more information.

Hello,Thank you for your question. There are no negative side effects to dieting after CoolSculpting. This procedure works best in individuals who are living a healthy lifestyle. Good luck!

It's always recommended to be at your ideal weight, and have an established healthy diet before undergoing a Coolsculpting treatment.  That said, often patients are quite inspired by their results and want to keep the momentum going.  Losing weight and exercising more will only help improve the results you already achieved.  Keep up the good work.Best of luck,Dr. Philip Solomon, Solomon Facial Plastic

Fat cells are crystalized at the time of treatment and dye off over the next few days. It then takes several months for the body to break down and remove those cells. Therefore, weight loss immediately after coolsculpting wll not change the number of cells destroyed during the treatment,however, it will enhance the overall result.  The remaining fat cells will react to weight gain and weight loss as they normally would.

Weight loss after coolsculpting will enhance your results overall. I would recommend following a diet where you can maintain a good weight rather than fluctuating too much. Excessive weight gain can negatively impact the results of coolsculpting that's why its not a weight loss procedure nut a fat loss procedure. When you gain weight after coolsculpting its the remaining fat cells that will get bigger so still less number of fat cells getting bigger rather than the 100% of them. 

I don't recommend losing weight and then gaining it back. Coolsculpting is good for removing stubborn areas of fat, between 20-25% in any treated area. For best results with Coolsculpting, I recommend a combination approach. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing to improve your final results. However, VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF would give you best results for body shaping, but would require more downtime. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The best results from CoolSculpting are typically seen in candidates who are within several pounds of their ideal target weight. If you intend to lose a bit more weight after CoolSculpting, then the effects of your treatment would just be that much more visible. Once you've reached your target weight, you can maintain your CoolSculpting results long-term by eating right and staying active to keep your weight steady.

CS will give you great results where treated. Many patients chose to do other areas after a first area looks so good! Dieting and exercising after CS is not an issue.
