Is CoolSculpting safe with a copper IUD?

Question

I've been advised that it's not safe to do Vanquish with a copper IUD & am wondering which non-invasive fat reduction procedures (targeting lower abdomen) are indeed cleared for use by those of us with an IUD

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. A copper IUD should not interfere with having the coolsculpting treatment. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person assessment.Regards,

Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) should be safe with a copper IUD. We use the Clatuu brand, but any should be ok

A CoolSculpting procedure on the lower abdomen would not affect the uterus or affect an IUD, whether it it copper or not.

Vincent A Marino, MD · Answer

Vanquish uses radio-frequency which heats the fat cells.  Any metal object can be heated by the treatment causing damage to the surrounding tissue and is therefore contraindicated.  CoolSculpting does not cool the deeper tissues and therefore would be a safe procedure with an IUD.

Julie A. Maughan, MD · Answer

The CoolSculpt procedure should have no effect on an IUD.  The process simply freezes fat that is contained in special applicators.  Be sure to see a certified CoolSculpt practice to obtain a personalized consult to see if you would be a good candidate.  Good luck!

Hello!  There are no contradictions to having coolsculpting done when having an IUD.  I would recommend going for a free consultation to see if you would be a good candidate.  Best of luck to you.

Having a copper IUD should not hinder you from getting CoolSculpting. Schedule an in office consultation to see if CoolSculping is the right treatment for you.

Mark S. Wilson, MD · Answer

There are no contraindications to CoolSculpting with an indwelling IUD-no interference at all. CoolSculpting continues to be ranked the #1 non invasive fat reduction procedure in the world-my practice is very proud to offer it & see amazing results.

An IUD should not interfere with Coolsculpting.  A metal device like the copper IUD may interfere with radiofrequency devices like Vanquish.   I would get a consult for Coolsculpting,  I have seen nice improvements for many people with lower abdominal fat.  Good luck, Lana Long,  MD

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting on the lower abdomen is perfectly safe with an IUD in place. I recommend seeing a CoolSculpting certified practice. All the best, Dr. Michon
