If you gain weight after Cool sculpting, can you look lumpy?

Any weight gain after liposuction or non invasive contouring can look irregular if only small areas were treated before.  if full areas were treated it would look normal.  Best, Dr. emer.

Thank you for your question. Fat distribution following weight gain depends upon age, genetic factors, hormones and environmental factors like diet and exercise. If an individual gains weight after Coolsculpting to a particular area, excess fat is more globally distributed rather than restricted to the treated area. Coolsculpting should be viewed as a body contouring technology which is most effective when complemented with stable weight and healthy life style.

No, you will not normally look lumpy after CoolSculpting if you gain weight.  The remaining fat cells in the area you had the CoolSculpting treatment will compress.  So, when you gain weight, you will gain it in the remaining fat cells and/or other fat cells in your body.  It will be just like gaining weight without CoolSculpting.  That being said, with CoolSculpting and other fat reduction treatments, you want to be at a stable weight you can maintain to keep the results you get from the treatment.  You still need to maintain a healthy lifestyle after doing any type of cosmetic procedure.
