Asked By:sunshine_88 in Richmond, VA

I'm considering Cool Sculpting for my upper and lower abdomen. Over a year ago I had my gallbladder removed through my belly button. Are there any possible complications from Cool Sculpting that will affect my navel scar? Such as, could the treatment cause the scar to harden or grow larger?
