Is it safe to take diuretics 1 day after CoolSculpting for swelling?

Question

I am extremely swollen after my procedure yesterday. Is it safe to take an OTC Diuretic? Thank you!

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  The swelling that you are experiencing is caused by inflammation of the tissue, not from excess fluid.  I do not recommend diuretics for post CoolSculpting.  Best of luck.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I would not recommend using a diuretic after a CoolSculpting treatment.  It is not unusual to have some swelling after the procedure, but the degree can vary.  Swelling will normally resolve completely over time.  You could try using some cool packs to the area to help.

Jean M. Casello, MD · Answer

Swelling and tenderness are part of the inflammatory process that occurs after coolsculpting.  We recommend that our patients be well hydrated prior to the procedure. I would be cautious about using a diuretic in this instance.  You should consult your practitioner who can best advise you.
