Is it possible to drop 2 dress sizes from doing 2 treatments of CoolSculpting?

Question

I am a UK 14 up top and a uk12 bottom. I would like to know if it would be possible, after 2 coolsculpting treatments, can I be a size 10-12 up top?

Typically, patients who undergo a full round (three sessions) of CoolSculpting lose between one and three inches of unwanted fat. I have no idea how that translates into dress sizes. Remember that CoolSculpting is about body-contouring, not weight loss. It will give you a better shape, but won’t take away pounds (or stones!). Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will help determine if you are a candidate for reshaping your body with CoolSculpting.

Hello, Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting can not guarantee an exact size change. It is designed to help with pockets of fat. Depending on what you need and desire two treatments may not make a big enough difference for you. Please consult with a local physician to determine the best course of action. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. No, it is not realistic to drop 2 dress sizes after 2 sessions with Coolsculpting. Coolsculpting will only reduce 20-25% of fat in the treated area(s) with each session. The only way to drop clothing sizes is with weight loss as Coolsculpting is used to shape and contour the body with no downtime. I recommend addressing your concerns with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Hello and thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is a body contouring procedure that removes stubborn areas of the fat from different areas of the body, including bra fat and other bulges in the upper body. However, this treatment is not performed for weight loss and results tend to be gradual. You may pare down some inches in your circumference, but it is difficult to estimate how that would translate in terms of clothing sizes. That said, this procedure offers highly satisfactory results to patients looking to smooth and sculpt the body profile. Choose a plastic surgeon experienced in this procedure who will help you go into the treatment with realistic expectations of what you can achieve. Good luck to you!

I do not think it is realistic to drop 2 dress sizes after 2 sessions of coolsculpting.   It will certainly reduce fat in the area each time you treat it.  Clothes may fit and look better on.  In general, clothing sizes decreasing will come with weight loss.  Coolsculpting is a great way to gradually shape the body and contour it without downtime.
