I'd prefer a non surgical procedure but I'd like to know if that will work to remove this pouch. I'm not sure if it's all loose skin, but it's not all fat because after having a baby I weigh 230lbs now like I did pre-pregnancy and when i gave birth i weighed 300. I had a 10 lbs baby. So I know this is not just fat because I never had this pouch. Will CoolSculpting tackle this pouch or I need to tighten skin? Please, anyone please let me know what i can do and if it's 1 procedure I need. Thank you

Answer: CoolSculpting Candidate Hi there, Thank you for your question and pictures and congratulations on your new bundle of joy and weight-loss! Based on what can be seen it appears that you would be a good candidate for CoolSculpting. This procedure is a non-invasive treatment that can reduce stubborn pockets of fat. With that being said, there also appears to be some skin laxity that will need to be addressed. You should consult with a local physician to determine what the best course of action would be based on your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Treating skin laxity following pregnancy Congratulations on your new baby and on the amazing weight loss! I highly recommend that you book an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to assess what treatment would be best for you. That said, unfortunately CoolSculpting will not address skin laxity. We tend to see about a 20% fat reduction in the targeted area following one CoolSculpting treatment, and typically it's a procedure that works best if you are just trying to get rid of small pockets of unwanted fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.It looks as though you might benefit from a tummy tuck procedure in order to address the excess skin and fat. Often during pregnancy, the two major rectus abdominal muscles actually come apart—a huge testament to what a woman's body is capable of in supporting the life and growth of her baby. For some women, these muscles do not come back together after childbirth, creating a condition known as rectus diastasis that gives us that lower abdominal fullness. Unfortunately, sit-ups or other exercises won't bring these muscles back together. But with a tummy tuck, we're able to suture them together while also removing excess skin and fat. But again best to be assessed in person by a board certified plastic surgeon.
