I want to get a breast lift and CoolSculpting, just not sure which to do first?

Question

Shanthala Shivananjappa, MD · Answer

Coolsculpting is a non surgical procedure, results are based upon the area of treatment, the density of the fat and your life style. The recovery time after breast lift procedure is much longer than Coolsculpting recovery. These are some of the options. Have an in person consultation with your surgeon and discuss with  him/her about the surgical options for fat reduction along with breast lift and learn all the surgical risks and benefits. 
 Coolsculpting is an excellent choice for stubborn fat and has very little side effects. In my opinion, I would do Coolsculpting before breast surgery, because positioning and staying still might cause some discomfort if you try to do Coolsculpting too soon after the surgery. Have a consultation for Coolsculpting with an experienced physician.

Neither CoolSculpting nor breast lifts have any kind of affect on one another. You should do the one that bothers you most first. Also, remember that many people need up to three treatments of CoolSculpting. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who has been certified by Zeltiq to get the best results from CoolSculpting.

It doesn't matter which of these two procedures you do first as they're unrelated. As you probably know at this point CoolSculpting results appear over 1-3 months and sometimes take more then one round for best outcomes. If you're doing many Coolsculpting treatments my advice would be make sure you speak about your goals to your plastic surgeon prior to surgery because in my experience if your goals can be achieved surgically during your breast lift surgery then it's more predictable with better outcomes. Without pictures I can't really give you more specific recommendations but seek advice from your PS at to your short and long term goals. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question.  A breast lift and a CoolSculpting treatment are not related.  My advice would be to consider the area of most concern first.  Best of luck.

For my patients, they often undergo Coolsculpting, while they are waiting for their surgery date. It doesn't matter in which order they are done. However Coolsculpting will take several months to start seeing an improvement in fat reduction. The results from breast lift are almost immediate because it is surgery but it does take several months for them to settle and for the scars to improve.
