And would it be covered if someone is very obese and has a hiatal hernia?
Answer: CoolSculpting CS treatments only affect the fat under the skin, and they will not reduce fat inside the body and in the abdominal cavity around the organs. That fat can only be lost by exercise, diet, and weight loss.

Answer: Coolsculpting Coolsculpting is a cosmetic procedure which is designed to freeze fat cells and induce them ti involute and be absorbed by the body. Patients should not expect the treatment area to reach below the muscle wall and thus not reach visceral organs. In addition, patients who have hernias should be evaluated by a credentialed provider and alternative options discussed if a hernia is located in the treatment area. A Plastic Surgeon consultation is an excellent suggestion if you have any questions.

Answer: CoolSculpting will reduce areas of pinchable fat, but will not improve visceral fat. Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting will reduce areas of pinchable fat, but will not improve visceral fat. With Coolsculpting, there is no down time, no risk of infection and you can achieve up to a 40% reduction with a retreatment of the same area. You'll need to have a consultation to determine how many treatments is recommended to get your desired results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a Coolsculpting-certified practitioner.

Answer: Coolsculpting fat reduction. Coolsculpting affects the external fat or pinchable fat . It does not penetrate into the abdominal fat which is also known as visceral fat . It does not hurt a hiatal hernia but if there is an umbilical or ventral hernia coolsculpting is contraindicated in that area . Insurance does not cover coolsculpting because this is considered a cosmetic procedure . Certainly there is no contraindication to coolsculpting if you are obese but this is probably not your best option . Coolsculpting results in a 20 - 25 % fat reduction in a particular area and may require additional treatments to Achieve your desired result. Seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon .
