Background on me: 19 y/o female, 5'3", 110 lbs, long distance runs 2-4 days a week How does cool sculpting work? How long would I expect to have down time from running after treatment? Would I see results immediately, or will it take time? What are some side effects? If you have done cool sculpting on a patients mons pubis, how did they respond to it? Thank you so much for your time.
Answer: Coolsculpting I appreciate your question.CS freezes that fat cells and they die. They are removed by bodyThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Answer: How the Body Metabolizes Dead Fat Cells CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, which is the non-invasive cooling of fat cells to induce lipolysis without damage to other tissues or structures. Precise cooling provides safety by only affecting fat cells while sparing skin, nerves and muscle. Once the cells have been frozen, they undergo apoptosis, also known as programed cell death; the biological process responsible for the death of adipocytes. The fat cells die in the first two to three days by apoptosis and begin to collapse. Macrophages from the body digest and consume the dead fat cells and lipids within the cells. The dead fat cells and their contents are cleared through the lymphatic system. The body naturally processes the fat and eliminates the dead cells. For weeks and months to follow, patient will experience reduction in the layer of fat cells. Patients will start noticing results at around 3 weeks, however the most dramatic results can be seen from 1-3 months. Some common side effect will be redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, sensitivity and tingling. Numbness can persist up to several weeks.
