Can Coolsculpting be done on the outer area of my upper arm? I have a "pinch-able" section of fat along the outside of my arm (not the "bat wing" area like most get treated). It's very noticeable and bulky looking despite having lost 30lbs and losing 5% body fat (as tested by my doctor via the water tank dunk test). My body is much firmer and toned everywhere else, which has taken almost 3 years, but this area will NOT budge!
Answer: Outer arm I would likely not treat the outer arm with Coolsculpting but sometimes a bit of that gets pulled in as the applicator is placed over the triceps. I would meet with your provider and ask them if Coolsculpting would be right for you after a physical examination.

CONTACT NOW Answer: CoolSculpting or Liposuction on outer arm? Thank you for the question, and your photo. They are different modalities. CoolSculpting can get a 25% reduction. We have found it to be very effective for the love handles, abdomen, bra area, arms, thighs, neck, and other areas. We have found that treating the area twice usually improves the fat cell kill significantly. Other physicians I have spoken to have found similar findings. The fat cells die and are taken up by the normal cell disposal mechanisms of the body. Liposuction is a surgical modality that is usually more dramatic, with a greater reduction. The fat cells are physically removed with liposuction. Again, the CoolSculpting is non invasive, no surgery, no downtime. As always, the modality should be appropriate to the individual patient. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, who can evaluate for all modalities.

Answer: Cool sculpting of the arms Cool Sculpting of the arms is still an off label area. We use the applicator that is intended for the inner thigh and use it on the arms. With that being said, we do arms but give patients a realistic expectation. We can see changes but for best and predictable results liposuction is preferred on this area of the body. Good Luck.

Answer: VASER Hi Definition Liposuction / Body Contouring with Fat Grafting Versus Non Invasive Coolsculpting Coolsculpting can treat the arms, but only does a small improvement in the treatment area and cannot give you defining and contouring. It takes 90 days to see the 15-20% improvement from a single treatment. I find non invasively sculpsure and vanquish give better results in this area. A hi definition body shaping 4D Liposuction can do a significant improvement much more quickly. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
