Why not to eat unhealthy after CoolSculpting procedure?

Question

Hi, I’ve heard that you shouldn’t have any big meals or eat anything unhealthy until at least 2 weeks after a CoolSculpting treatment. Why is that? Even if one is healthy and exercise, is it dangerous to eat something unhealthy soon after the procedure?

John M. Hilinski, MD · Answer

It is always recommended to eat healthy! Following Coolsculpting, a healthy diet is recommended (along with regular exercise) to keep the weight off. It is not consider dangerous if you deviate from these recommendations. But you won't get the ideal result from Coolsculpting.

As physicians, we always advise our patients to eat healthy meals and exercise — whether they’re getting CoolSculpting or not. Because you’ve invested heavily in your figure if you’ve gone through the CoolSculpting process, it makes sense that you’d want to preserve your results by watching your weight. Although CoolSculpting eliminates fat cells, the remaining fat cells can swell if you overeat. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert with CoolSculpting so he or she can answer all of your questions about this effective procedure.

Hello,Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting does not designate any specific dietary guidelines following a procedure. They do suggest a healthy diet and lifestyle for optimum results but you would not be in danger if you eat a bad meal after. Good luck!

Thank you for your question.  Although post procedure instructions do vary from one practice to another, my advice is to resume normal activities and follow a balanced diet for overall best results.  Best of luck.

There are not limitations as to what you can eat following your coolsculpting treatment.  That said, it is recommended that you maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine as part of your lifestyle.  Coolsculpting will permanently eliminate fat on the treated area however, the remaining fat cells may still grow if your diet and lifestyle is unhealthy.Best of luck,Dr. Philip Solomon, Solomon Facial Plastic, Toronto, Canada

There is not any post procedure dietary instructions. There is no food dangers in relation to a coolsculpting treatment.

I try to encourage all my patients to get into a healthy eating and exercising routine to protect your investment in CoolSculpting. A splurge here or there will not be dangerous.

Emerico Csepanyi, MD · Answer

There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to post CoolSculpting diet. As always, we recommend living a healthy lifestyle whether you have just had CoolSculpting or not. Following the CoolSculpting treatment, your body will be breaking down and eliminating fat calls from the treated areas. Being reasonably active and staying hydrated will assist the process. It’s important to remember that having a fat reduction treatment is not a golden ticket to eat fattening and highly caloric meals, but rather to target stubborn areas of fat that one cannot eliminate through diet and exercise.

Jennifer Levine, MD · Answer

After any body contouring treatment, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle which includes a healthy diet and exercise.  This is to protect your investment and reduce any risk of weight gain.  During the treatment, treated fat cells are permanently destroyed but any remaining fat cells can continue to grow if you were to gain weight.

Kent V. Hasen MD: Aesthetic Plastic Surgery &amp; Med Spa of Naples · Answer

There are no dietary restrictions following a CoolSculpting treatment.  However, living a healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise, will only further encourage great results.  One of the best things about CoolSculpting is your body does the work to eliminate 20-25% of the fat cells in the treated area.  Eating a cheeseburger won't cause any harm, but a healthy diet will allow you to fully appreciate your great results!
