Does coolsculpting permanently change the shape of my body?

Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive  fat reduction for
the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage
applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed
onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and
typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal
results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the
patient's goals.  There is not downtime and the results can be impressive
in the right patient.  We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient
comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty
good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.

My best,

Thank you very much for your question. A benefit of CoolSculpting is that the final results are permanent. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they will not return, even if you should gain more weight. However, the remaining fat cells will still increase in size. To get more information about CoolSculpting, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience in the noninvasive procedure.
