Is it best to maintain your weight to within 5 pounds before Coolsculpting procedure? Are there other things like food or drink that should be avoided before a procedure?
Answer: Preparation for CoolSculpting There is no preparation needed before CoolSculpting. Patients should be within 10 to 15 pounds of their ideal weight range and already be maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen. To minimize bruising it is recommended to avoid any supplements that may thin the blood such as vitamin E, fish oil and any aspirin or Ibuprofen.

Answer: Preparing for CoolSculpting No preparation needs to be done before a CoolSculpting procedure. As long as you are a good candidate, that is all that is needed for a successful treatment. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Your doctor will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation.

Answer: Ideal body weight is best
The truth is the closer toy our ideal body weight the better, but not everyone is! There is no special prep like fasting or blood tests. It is an outpatient office based procedure that you can walk out and drive yourself home from.

Answer: Cool sculpting Preparation?
There is no specific preparation necessary prior to cool sculpting procedures.
Similar to liposuction surgery, it is best for patients undergoing the cool sculpting procedure to be close to their long-term stable weight. The treatment is designed for isolated diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue “pockets”. Again, similar to liposuction patients, it is best for patients to maintain their weight after the cool sculpting procedure.
Best wishes.

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.
