What happens to the "frozen" fat after Cool Sculpting?

When the fat cells are frozen and killed during a CoolSculpting treatment they are then cleaned up by your body's immune cells and ultimately eliminated from your body through urine. There are many studies that show that there is no effect of the CoolSculpting treatment on triglyceride levels, so I do not believe the treatment caused your elevated levels. 7 months is a long time to be numb after the treatment. Usually the numbness subsides after 2-4 weeks. I suggest you return to see your CoolSculpting provider for a follow up to make sure everything is ok. 

The frozen fat cells are engulfed inside of janitor cells called macrophages.  They are not free-floating and do not increase trigliceride levels.My best,Sheila Nazarian

Thank you for your question. The frozen fat after Coolsculpting is naturally absorbed and flushed away from the body. It doesn’t affect the lab value or organs in any way. One treatment freezes 25% of fat permanently and depending on your goal sometimes people may require few treatments to get more than 25 %. I would recommend consulting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to give the best treatment plan. I hope this helps!

Following the CoolSculpting procedure, the fat is gradually broken down and eliminated from your body through the same process is the fat in foods.  There are no significant measurable increases in fat breakdown products in the blood after CoolSculpting treatment.  This has been specifically and carefully studied

CoolSculpting is a gentle and
effective way to single out unwanted fat cells. These cells are crystallized or
frozen which causes them to die. Over time, your body naturally processes and
removes the dead cells.  Most people see
a reduction of fat after a single treatment. You may start to see results as
little as three weeks after treatment, though the most dramatic results tend to
be apparent after about two months.  You
should not be numb 7 months later.  I
suggest you return to your CoolSculpting provider to be assessed, address your
concerns and to make sure everything is ok.
