I appreciate your question.These medications should nit effect your resultsbut i would let your dr knowThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

There are very few medications that would conceivably interfere with CoolSculpting but in this instance your best course of action would be to follow up with the prescribing physician and the practice that delivered the CoolSculpting treatment. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. It is always best to discuss your medications with the prescriber and in this case the CoolSculpting provider to ensure the medications are ok. There should not be an issue with these medications.Sincerely yours,

Coolsculpting is a great technique for freezing a "bulge" in a given area.  The medications that you took for your illness should not impact your procedure.  I would definitely consult with the physician who treated you and make him or her aware of your recent illness.  Please keep us posted.

In order to mimimize potential bruising, avoid the following products 7 days prior to treatment and for up to 7 days after treatment: Alcohol, Aspirin, Vitamin E, anticoagulants such as Plavix, Coumadin, Fish Oil, St. John's Wort, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginger, Garlic, Feverfew or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory products such as Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or Naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). If bruising is persistent or you are worried, set up a follow up
appointment with your dermatologist.

Sorry to hear about your recent illness.   The Augmentin, cough syrup, and Rocephin should not have any impact on your results.   The steroid MAY have a slight impact.  The premise behind CS is that fat cells are damaged by the freezing process.   Your body's immune system removes those cells which it sees as damaged.   Steroids inhibit the immune system.  But, with that being understood, a single dose of steroids shouldn't have much of an influence.  Best of luck on your continued recovery.
