Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting should not be performed if you have a hernia. Diverticulitis is not a contraindication. Regards,

Thank you for your question. Coolsculpting should not be performed on the abdomen if the patient has an abdominal hernia. Diverticulitis is not a problem and Coolsculpting can be performed in these patients. Best of Luck,

If you have a hernia in your abdomen you should not have Coosculpting performed to the area.  If the coolscuplting device were to suck up any bowel in the hernia, the bowel could die which can lead to very serious health issues, including death.

A CoolSculpting treatment should not be performed over an area where there is a hernia. It is not a problem to have CoolSculpting performed in a patient with diverticulitis.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

Since a hernia is where bowel is pushing through a tear in the abdominal wall, it is best to not treat over a hernia. The risk is freezing bowel which can lead to bowel necrosis. Diverticulitis is no problem.
