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: C-section abdomen Based on your photos, I suggest seeking an in-person examination with a body plastic surgeon. CoolSculpt resolves fat but does not necessarily tighten the skin. Some patient's see a difference with their skin tightness, others do not. CoolSculpt is an option for fat loss if you can work around the C-Section scar, but if you are looking for one procedure to give you the most optimal result, you will most likely be recommended something surgical.Best, Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Liposuction and ThermiTight might be Best Approach Thank you for your question and congratulations on the birth of your baby. Based on your photos, it appears you have a substantial amount of lingering fat and skin laxity to address. It is unlikely CoolSculpting alone would provide you satisfying results. While I would need to examine you in person to know for sure, I would probably be more inclined to recommend a combination of liposculpture and a skin tightening treatment like ThermiTight. Liposculpture is a minimally-invasive treatment that removes unwanted fat via tiny tubes called cannulas. I use the Awake lipo technique, which infuses tumscent fluid into the area to loosen fat cells. This approach creates greater precision with less trauma to surrounding tissue. The procedure can remove significantly more fat that CoolSculpting in a single treatment session. ThermiTight is a non-surgical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy delivered deep into the dermal structure to constrict tissue and boost collagen levels. Make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist with expertise in non-surgical body contouring to ensure an optimal outcome.

Answer: Mommy Makeover--VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting, tummy tuck, J plasma, Renuvion, Inmode Body Tite For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, depending on skin laxity. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

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.
