Is it ok to have an applicator across the belly button horizontally instead of a v shape?

CoolSculpting yields natural looking results when the applicators are applied properly. The general guideline is to follow the line of the bulge and to place the center of the applicator over the peal of the bulge. The industry standard is to treat around the belly button. In many instances we will use smaller applicators to form a diamond shape around the navel. In other instances where more de-bulking is required, we will begin with the larger Advantage Plus in the horizontal position below the navel. Then, in the following treatment, we sculpt using the diamond shape, or v shape with 2 smaller applicators below the belly button. It is not really possible to tell you what would be best without seeing you in person. However, the idea of placing the applicator over the navel should not even be on the table for discussion. Good luck with your CoolSculpting journey. 

This is a great question. The
applicator is positioned based on several factors: orientation of the fatty
tissue and where the peak of the fat is. The applicator is normally not placed
directly over the belly button since the peak of the "bulge" would
not be the belly button. You should consult with a physician who is a certified
Coolsculpting provider to get the best assessment for your treatment.
