Can you have CoolSculpting if you are on statins?

Question

Take it for cholesterol

Jason D. Bloom, MD, FACS · Answer

Absolutely!  CoolSculpting does not affect triglyceride or lipid levels in the body.  There have been a number of studies done when CoolSculpting was in its infancy looking at blood levels of cholesterol and other lipids before and after CoolSculpting treatment.  The results of the studies showed that it is not affected by treatment.

It would be okay to have a CoolSculpting treatment if taking statin medications for high cholesterol.  The medication would not affect the results of the procedure and vice versa.

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

You can definitely have Coolsculpting while taking statins or other medication for high cholesterol.   Coolsculpting won't effect your cholesterol or the effects of medication nor will the medication effect your treatment outcome.   Best of luck.

Eric Valladares, MD · Answer

Coolsculpting is a safe and effective way to eliminate fat pockets in specific areas of the body. The cooling technology is designed to only target fat cells right below the skin. If you have high cholesterol or are taking statins, the Coolsculpting procedure would not affect this at all and you should still be able to achieve amazing results.

Yes! Coolsculpting is perfectly safe to do while taking cholesterol lowering medication. Adipocytes that are excreted over 3 months are metabolized at a rate equivalent to eating 2 french fries per day. This will not affect your cholesterol levels or liver function tests!

Jean M. Casello, MD · Answer

Yes it is perfectly safe to have coolsculpting if you are on statins or have a history of high cholesterol. Coolsculpting has not been shown to raise or affect cholesterol levels.
