While you don’t have to be at your exact goal weight to have CoolSculpting®, you’ll experience much more noticeable results if you are. CoolSculpting® is not a substitute for weight loss, but rather a non-surgical body contouring method to reduce problem fat that diet and exercise haven't helped. People who are close to or at their target weight often use CoolSculpting® to put the finishing touches on their figure and enjoy a significant improvement in the treated area(s). Given that CoolSculpting® is an investment of your time and money, you’ll likely get the most out of it when you’re close to your goal weight.
Thank you very much for your question. Although you do not need to be at be at your goal weight before having CoolSculpting, keep in mind, the technique is only designed to address isolated areas of fat. The procedure cannot substitute for weight loss. To ensure you get the most out of your CoolSculpting treatment, you should be at a stable weight that is close to your goal, and looking to eliminate stubborn, solitary fatty deposits. My recommendation is that that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, experienced in body sculpting procedures. He/she can perform an in-person examination and review your medical history, creating a body sculpting treatment plan that suits your individual needs.
It is best to be near goal weight... around 15 pounds to goal is best. I have found that Coolsculpting can help on your way to your weight loss goal because the changes you will see will make you feel like the sacrifices are worth it and you will keep going.
I appreciate your question.Coolsculpting will remove cells in that treatment area.This does not correlate with weight loss but does give you a localized improvement. If you want a larger improvement, surgery such as liposuction will do this and shape larger areas.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.Best of luck!Dr. Schwartz
Cool Sculpting can treat the fat that we can pinch and pull. Ideally you want to be close to your ideal weight because I would assume you want the best results for the least investment. Remember it takes an area down on average of 22% so the added volume will translate in to more treatments. So, an in person consultation would be best at a reputable location you trust to assess the areas you want improvement. Everyone's problem areas are different but in short, closer to healthy weight is best but not essential. Hope that helps.
For best results, it's best to be at or close to your goal weight. Depending on the look you want: VASER Hi Def liposution is also an option for fat removal, contouring and skin tightening. VASER can sculpt and contour the body and results can be seen immediately. Please see a body contouring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
In general, I would say it is always best to be at your goal weight prior to having a CoolSculpting procedure. The procedure could be done prior to reaching your goal weight, but the ultimate result may not be as good. If you are just 5-10 lbs. off of your goal weight, it should not be an issue, but if you are still planning on losing closer to 20 lbs. or more, you may want to wait before being treated.
es, the best candidates for a CoolSculpting — meaning patients who will benefit the most — are close to their goal weight. That's because CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment. Rather, as its name suggests, the procedure creates smoother contours by targeting localized pockets of fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. Consult with a board-certified specialist to discuss your specific aesthetic concerns and determine if CoolSculpting is right for you.
You will have better results of Coolsculpting if you are within 15-20 pounds of your goal weight. Please discuss your concerns with your physician.
It is suggested to be near your goal weight to have the best results with CoolSculpting. There is no restriction of getting CoolSculpting if you are farther away from your goal weight, it just may cost a lot more since you may need multiple treatments to try to reach your ideal body goals.
I have not seen this effect on any of the patients that we have performed over the years. Some fat is fibrous and not a candidate for Coolsculpting. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
Many of our CoolSculpting patients participate in active weight loss regimens. If the overlying skin is in good condition you could be a good candidate. One of the benefits of CoolSculpting is that the treatment is evenly distributed, so irregularities should not be a problem. You can re...
Thank you for your question. It is best to evaluate you in person to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment. However, it looks like you would benefit from treatment. Most patients need a minimum of 2 treatments for the arms to see optimal results. Please make sure you see and expert...
