Will cool sculpting get rid of 20 lbs of stomach fat?

CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment, but it can help reduce isolated areas of unwanted fat.  Treating the abdomen with CoolSculpting will not result in weight loss but it can improve the contour of the area.  Diet and exercise are still the best to remove extra pounds.  

Hi there, Thank you for your question! Coolsculpting is not a weight loss procedure, most patients do not see a change on the scale but can help to reduce stubborn pockets of fat. You may have better results with CoolSculpting if you are at your ideal weight. CoolSculpting is the #1 non-invasive, FDA cleared fat reduction treatment in the US! You can expect to see up to a 25% fat reduction in the area treated. I recommend consulting with a local CoolSculpting provider in person to determine if you are a good candidate. Best of luck!

Thank you very much for your question as it is a common one. CoolSculpting is an excellent, noninvasive option for patients looking to eliminating isolated areas of stubborn fat. On average, patients will see between 20-25% of targeted fatty tissue melt away. However, the procedure is not a weight loss tool. The cool temperatures permanently damage fat cells along the treated areas by the body over three to four months. If you are interested in losing 20 pounds, your best option is to start with a weight loss plan, followed by CoolSculpting to smooth and flatten any remaining fatty tissue. To find out if and when you are a candidate for CoolSculpting, make a consultation appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive body contouring experience.

CoolSculpting is a treatment for subcutaneous fat.  This treatment is not a weight loss option.  It used to target small stubborn fat pockets.  The treatment kills fat cells and they are excreted by the body.  You do not lose weight with this procedure.  This procedure is used to sculpt areas of stubborn fat.  A weight loss plan may be best for you and then you could see if CoolSculpting may be an option for you after weight loss.

CoolSculpting is not a treatment for weight loss. It is most effective in removing stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to exercise, usually small pockets of fat around the abdomen or things such as love handles. CoolSculpting is most effective if you are already at your goal weight and are looking to add contour to your shape. CoolSculpting does not offer the kinds of dramatic results you might see following liposuction or a tummy tuck. If you have tried diet and exercise and you still find that you are having trouble losing weight you should book an in person complimentary consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to assess whether there is a procedure that meets your goals and needs.

no cosmetic surgery except for Lap band or any GI surgery are for weight loss. they are all for small problem areas and contouring.
If you have small problem areas you can use non invasive methods like coolsculpting with vanquish or TrusculptID to get small areas of fat reduced.  Skin also tightens if you combine this with exilis ultra, venus legacy, Inmode Forma/Contoura radiofrequency treatments.  You boost the results from coolsculpting if you add in Kybella injections to melt fat as well.  We also combine coolsculpting with shock therapy like Z wave, EVIVE, and cellutone to get even faster results, more improvement, and less risk of combinations like nodules, swelling, neuropathy or paradoxical hyperplasia.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Coolsculpting is not designed to remove large amounts of fat ie 20 lbs. It is best used to target small pockets of fat in specific areas though it can used to remove 2-3 inches of pinchable fat.  I would recommend that you consider a medically supervised weight loss program first and then perhaps consider Coolsculpting when you are near your target weight.

Hello, and thanks for your question. Even though CoolSculpting is a treatment method designed to reduce specific areas of fat within the body, it is not intended to be a weight loss solution. You may have better results from the procedure the closer you are to your target goal weight. In order to lose more significant amounts of weight, you should eat a proper diet with healthy foods and increase your physical activity. Your doctor will most likely recommend that you follow a specific plan to get your weight down to a healthy range before considering a procedure such as CoolSculpting.

 

Dear Michele,
Coolsculpting does not reflect your weight in any way and will not help you loose weight. Coolsculpting is more about spot treating and reducing stubborn fat for the appropriate candidates. At MybotoxLA we always recommend including healthy lifestyle habits and exercise when beginning your Coolsculpting treatments for best results. All the best to you from Studio CIty, CA.

Hello and thank you for your question.
CoolSculpting is not for weight loss. CoolSculpting helps smooth, sculpt and contour in areas that through diet and exercise you do not see improvement. 
You can always consult with your provider to determine what treatments are best for you.
Best to you,
