Will Pregnancy After Coolsculpting Cause Fat Cells to Multiply in Treated Area and Negatively Impact Long Term Results?

March 17, 2013
Asked By:kk94309 in San Francisco, CA

I have had 2 Coolsculpting treatments on my lower abs, with excellent results. I have heard that fat cells divide during pregnancy. When I eventually have children, will my fat cells in the treated area multiply and negatively impact my long term results? Would it make a difference whether I got the Coolsculpting treatment on my lower abs before or after pregnancy--would the number of fat cells in the area be the same regardless? I am referring to fat cell number, not elasticity of the skin.
