Does anesthesia interfere with the CoolSculpting results?

Question

I am scheduled for outpatient bunion surgery in late November. if I get CoolSculpting 2 weeks before, will the anesthesia and medicines associated with my surgical procedure interfere with the CoolSculpting results?

Mariam Awada, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Anesthesia will not interfere with your CoolSculpting results, so it is fine for you to undergo your surgery after your CS treatment. Good luck!

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

You need not be concerned that having had CoolSculpting two weeks prior to your surgery will be a problem because of the general anesthesia that you will have during the surgery.

Hello! No, anesthesia will not interfere with your CoolScuplting procedure or results. Coolsculpting is a great procedure which kills fat cells and produces a great result. Weight stability is important when considering this procedure as well. Good luck with your surgery.

Jeffrey B. Wise, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Having anesthesia after having coolsculpting should have no affects on the outcome of the procedure. Keeping your weight stable is important for the best results. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your upcoming CoolSculpting treatment! The anesthesia during your surgery will not have any effect on your CoolSculpting results. If you have any other questions or concerns regarding your treatment, I recommend reaching out to your CoolSculpting specialist. Best of luck with both of your procedures!

There is no contraindication or lack of results associated with coolsculpting and anesthesia or post op meds.  Go for it and Happy Healing.

Tina B. West, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. Having CoolSculpting 2 weeks before your outpatient bunion surgery, with anesthesia, will not affect your CoolSculpting results.  Anesthesia should have no affect on your results.  Just be patient results from CoolSculpting can take up to 8-12 weeks. Best,

Having anesthesia a couple weeks after Coolsculpt will not effect the result of your Coolsculpt. And the coolsculpt won't effect the anesthesia either.Andrew Campbell, M.D.

In my opinion, there would be no problem having anesthesia for bunion surgery 2 weeks after a CoolSculpting treatment.  The anesthesia should not affect the CoolSculpting results and vice versa.
