I did cool sculpting 1.5 years ago and didn't achieve desired results, so I had liposuction done on my abs and flanks today. My doctor told me it was very tough and he had to work harder...I'm reading some threads about fibrous tissue and I'm wondering if the cools schlpting procedure causes this?

Answer: Coolsculpting and Fibrous Tissue I have not seen this effect on any of the patients that we have performed over the years. Some fat is fibrous and not a candidate for Coolsculpting. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Fibrous tissue Cool sculpting freezes some of the fat cells in a patients' treatment area if the procedure is effective. Many of our proposed patients are not good candidates for cool sculpting because they have fibrous fat. In my experience I have not seen cool sculpting cause fibrous fat; it simply doesn't work very well in patients who have "thick" fat. We often soften up the fat with other procedures prior to cool sculpting. The other situation which doesn't work at all for cool sculpting is if the patient has visceral fat. This often presents itself in a hard protruding stomach with no pinchable fat. I have not seen cool sculpting result in fibrous fat formation but I would be interested to see other doctors comments on this. I hope this helps. Dr. Adrienne Stewart M.D. FAAD
