Embryo transfer IVF after CoolSculpting OK? Or should I delay?

Question

May be having embryo transfer next week and just had coolsculpting on both sides of lower abdomen yesterday. Will it affect my implantation or embryo transfer success? I heard that there may be cramping or nerve pain and worried that it may impact implantation success. The transfer will be 8 days post coolsculpting.

No, having Coolsculpting won't negatively impact your embryo transfer. Keep in mind, it will take 3-6 months for final results with Coolsculpting. 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. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello ljie,No need to delay your embryo transfer following a recent CoolSculpting since it won't affect the results. I only question why you would do CoolSculpting just before trying to conceive?Best of luck,Oscar A. Aguirre, MDUrogynecologist and Cosmetic Surgeon

Hello ljie,Thank you for sharing your question with us however this question is best discussed with your physician preparing to perform your IVF and not this community. There are potentially many factors within their protocols unknown to us thus I would strongly urge you to have this conversation sooner rather than later with them. Best wishes.
