CoolSculpting for slightly overweight (15 to 20 lbs) - will it work well? (Photos)

Linda385
I'm 56, 5'3", 150 lbs, mom of 2. I gained 15 lbs due to menopause. I eat sensibly and exercise regularly, but it's extremely difficult to lose the extra weight. I would like to get coolsculpting for my belly fat and a bit of back fat that has developed. I'd sure like to be able to fit into some of my old pants again! I plan to get consultations with a few local doctors/plastic surgeons. Would coolsculpting help despite being a bit overweight? I now wear size 12 but used to be size 8 /10!
