Can CoolSculpting help my abdomen that also has visceral fat?

Hi, great question.
CoolSculpting targets subcutaneous fat, that's the pinchable fat between your skin and the muscle.
Visceral fat is under the abdominal muscle around your internal organs. Only diet and exercise can help reduce visceral fat.

Hello the answer to this question which is a good one is coolsculpting only works on fiborous fat. That subcutaneous fat which is easier to spot with the naked eye is the treatable fat for coolsculpting. This type of adipose can accumulate anywhere on the body and appears soft and fluffy. If your fat is strictly Visceral fat it will not work with coolsculpting. Visceral fat is strictly diet and lifestyle.

Hi there! Thanks for your question. CoolSculpting is not intended to reduce visceral fat due to it being under the abdominal muscles. Coolsculpting would not be able to draw in the tissue. CoolSculpting is great for subcutaneous fat! Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question! Coolsculpting targets the subcutaneous (pinchable) layer of fat. With each treatment it will reduce that layer of fat 20 - 25%. Coolsculpting does not target visceral fat. Thanks again!

Hi Tanyab2203

Coolsculpting is the number one non-surgical alternative to liposuction for removing unwanted fat. You can treat most areas of the body including your neck, arms, abdomen, flanks, and thighs. To learn more about this procedure, please visit our website.

Unfortunately, CoolSculpting will not affect visceral abdominal fat. It can be used to target fat that is just below the skin and above the muscle, but it will not reach down to the visceral fat below the muscle.

For people who don’t want surgery CoolSculpting is a very effective option to help reduce fat in selective areas. However, CoolSculpting has only been proven to be effective for layers of fat that lie directly under the skin. The only fix for deep layers of fat such as visceral, are diet and exercise. I suggest making an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Coolsculpting won't help visceral fat at all. I can help the subcutaneous fat only. There was one report of Emsculpt helping visceral fat but I have my doubts. Visceral fat can be treated with diet and exercise.

For our patients with abdominal visceral fat we would recommend a healthy diet and exercise plan to reduce the fat. Visceral fat is the fat that is inside your body and around your organs like your stomach . Since this is inside, it is not pinchable fat that can be treated with Coolsculpting. Coolsculpting is targeted for subcutaneous fat. If the abdomen has both visceral and subcutaneous fat, a combination of Coolsculpting, diet changes and an increase in exercise may be recommended and can provide nice results. We recommend seeing a trained Registered nurse or plastic surgeon in a board-certified plastic surgery practice who can assess your individual anatomy before treatment.

Hello and thank you for your question. CoolSculpting will not help with visceral fat, the only thing that will help that is your diet. CoolSculpting does help with fat right underneath the skin. I suggest an in person consultation in order to address your goals and see what’s right for you. Best wishes.
