Does Cool Sculpting Potentially Leave Saggy Skin, Like Liposuction Can?

You sound like a perfect candidate for CoolSculpting because you are small and, at 100 lbs, your fatty deposits are probably not too big.  CoolSculpting should give you a beautiful slimming result. I have not ever seen CoolSculpting cause sagging, in fact just the opposite. It often actually tightens the skin to some degree.  Whether this effect is enough to benefit you depends on the quality of your skin now and how much fat is being removed. Please find a board-certified dermatologist to evaluate your skin and fat in person, to determine if CoolSculpting alone will give you the taut, healthy look you want, or if you need Ultherapy too for extra tightening. This could be performed a few months after CoolSculpting if needed.

Hello, Thank you for your question. Without pictures it is difficult to give an exact answer, however based on your description it does sound like CoolSculpting may be a great option for you. While no provider can guarantee that there won’t be sagging, the treatment works slowly over time, allowing the skin to retract as the fat diminishes. However, please consult with a local physician in person, they will be able to discuss what to exopect in your specific situation. Best of luck! 

The applicator that is normally used to treat the inner thighs is the CoolFit. The applicator suctions the tissue in order to bring it closer to the cooling panels to freeze the fat. Each cycle takes 1 hour. Normally patients do not have problems with sagging skin post treatment if the skin was supple and not sagging to begin with. CoolSculpting is noninvasive and no downtime fat reducing treatment and does not offer skin tightening as a benefit. It is always best to have a consultation so that you may be assessed in person to determine if you are a candidate for the procedure.
