Answer: Minimal preparation and minimal to no downtime
Coolsculpting is a very well tolerated procedure. I would bring some music or a book to enjoy during the procedure. The amount of time you spend with Coolsculpting depends on the number of treatment areas (1 hour per treatment area). If you are planning multiple treatments, then plan to spend several hours for the treatment. On occasion, some patients have requested an anxiolytic prior to the treatment because the first 10 minutes of the treatment is moderately uncomfortable.

Answer: No necessary preparation
There isn't any preparation necessary for having the CoolSculpting procedure, you should just have an inch to a softball size of fat to pinch. The areas that can be treated include; abdomen, flanks, arms, buttock crease, medial thighs, back and male gynecomastia. You have an opportunity to lose about 20-40% in fat reduction of the area that has the procedure. The best thing to do is to come in for a consultation and be evaluated for the procedure to make sure that you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting.
