Can cool sculpting be done on front of thighs? (photos)

Question

I had cool sculpting done on my lower, upper inner thighs and abs. I had amazing results. I am a pear shape 40 year old 125lb and tend to have heavy thighs. When standing sideways the front of my thigh bulges forward. Can cool sculpting be done on the front of my thighs and what hand piece would work best? The flat one for the outer hip or the suction head that is used on the inner thigh? If you don't think cool sculpting would work what would you suggest to reduce the front of my thighs? Thanks

Coolsculpting can be done on the anterior thighs but I would go to a board certified plastic surgeon and see if your thighs are mostly muscle or if some fat is contributing.

CoolSculpting is a technique that is used for
patients with stubborn fat that they wish to remove which couldn’t be removed
by dieting or exercise. There is a new flat(non-suctioning) hand piece that is available that would work on the thighs.

Coolsculpting has a new applicator that works extremely well for the inner and outer thighs. An in person consultation is necessary to see if the area that you want treated is muscle or fat.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with coolsculpting and the new applicators.

CoolSculpting
can be done in a variety of areas including the front of the thighs. But I agree with my peers here that you should
speak specifically with, while being examined by, your cosmetic physician about
the cause of your curvature.
