CoolSculpting with mesh in stomach? Is it an option? (photo)

lucky1x2Apr 14, 2017
I have mesh in my abdomen from an abdominal component separation surgery and hernia repair- from a prior surgery. There is still a bulge in my stomach-to the side on my belly button.

Thank you for your question. Having minimal effects after Coolsculpting treatment does not meant that you will not have results.
