Is swelling in the lower legs, ankles, and feet normal after CoolSculpting?

Question

I had CoolSculpting done 8 days ago. I have been experiencing quite a bit of swelling in my lower legs, ankles, and feet. Is this normal? Thank you for your response.

Hello,

	 

	It seems that you should consult with your physicians as the cool sculpting does not induce such side effects. Without a physical examination and running some tests, it is hard to determine the cause of the swelling you are experiencing.

	I hope this helps.

	Thank you for your inquiry. Best of luck to you.

	Dr. Sajjadian

Thank you for your question.

	I do not think that swelling of the feet/ legs is caused by having the Coolsculpting procedure but I do think you should be seen so that your doctor can make sure that all is OK.

The freezing of the fat cells wtih CoolSculpting should not have caused the swelling of hte legs. Something unrelated may be at fault but should be explored.

Please follow up with your treating physician regarding swelling in non-treated areas.  Good luck with your recovery.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

It is highly unusual to have swelling post coolsculpting in any area other than the treated area. Consult with your treating physician to review your treatment and your medical history to identify possible causes. Your treating physician may need to consult with your internist.
