How long is it best to wait after an abdominal hysterectomy to get CoolSculpting done?

Question

Douglas Wu, MD · Answer

You want to be sure your body has plenty of time to heal from your surgery before undergoing a CoolSculpting procedure in the same area. The standard waiting period is six months. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist who has ample experience in CoolSculpting and is well-versed in your medical history to ensure your treatment is both safe and successful.

It is best to wait for up to a period of 8 weeks for CoolSculpting of the abdominal after open abdominal hysterectomy. If you are also having arms or chin treatments, you could do those during your post op recovery period.

Ronnie Mitchell, DO · Answer

I would recommend to wait for 6 months. Give your body time to heal internally before coolsculpting.

Erik Jacobsen, MD · Answer

We recommend waiting a full 6 months after any abdominal surgery for the CoolSculpting procedure due to the suction that is needed for the treatment. Suction over unhealed surgical incisions increases your risk for abdominal hernias.

Great question.  The answer depends on the type of hysterectomy you have (open/laparoscopic/vaginal) and the area you want to treat with Coolsculpting.  Obviously if you have an open/abdominal hysterectomy and want to treat your abdomen with CS, you will have to give you body and the incision plenty of time (6 months) to heal.  However, if you are looking to treat your arms/chin/etc, that can be done in the post operative period.  I recommend a consultation with an expert in both cosmetics and surgical procedures/healing.
