Is There a Weight Requirment Max and Min?

Diet and exercise are important to decrease fatty accumulation and healthier than do treatments to artificially reduce the fat while maintaining excessive calorie consumption and not exercising.  However, there are many patients who do try to exercise and watch their diet but can't reduce a bulge. CoolSculpting can help reduce the fat in certain areas but will not provide as good a result as liposuction.  LIposuction usually is not be done on obese patients because of the medical risk and if CoolSculpting is done, even a series of treatments a few months apart, the 20% reduction in volume that can be seen in many patients by ultrasound examination at the four month time, may not be seen clinically as a significant reduction in someone who is dramatically overweight. The safety profile of CoolSculpting is excellent.

CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Your doctor will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation.
