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

L
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. More so on the left than the right. Would cool sculpting be an option as I don't want to go under again- no exercise seems to work to fix it.

Unfortunately you do have to remove all rings with coolsculpting. If the piercing is old it should not close, but the swelling may make it more difficult. Wait until the swelling resolves and try again.

Few things, the panels (Cool Smooth or Cool Smooth PRO) are only to be used on the outer thigh or saddle bag area. We have done over 3000 treatments in my practice and never once used that applicator on the inner thigh as you mention. The Cool Fit or Cool Advantage with the Cool Fit contour head...
