Do I need to be at my goal weight before having cool sculpting done?

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.
