I have a mesh in tummy from last ten years do you think CoolSculpting will help reduce my abdomen?

Great question! It is best to first seek a proper evaluation by your surgeon who can determine whether a reoccurance of a hernia is present in the area. If one is present, then CoolSculpting can not be done within the area as it is a contraindication. Good luck! 

If you are experiencing bulging in the area of your hernia, it would be best to be seen by your surgeon, who can determine if your hernia is reoccurring.  If cleared by your doctor, a consultation with a certified Coolsculpting practitioner will help determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment.  Best wishes

Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive  fat reduction for
the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage
applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed
onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and
typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal
results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the
patient's goals.  There is not downtime and the results can be impressive
in the right patient.  We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient
comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty
good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what. A hernia is  a contraindication for coolsculpting. It is important for you to be evaluated by a doctor to make sure you are a good candidate for this procedure.
