Would CoolSculpting work for me? (Photo)

Question

I am 6 weeks post C section (early days, I know) but I just wondered if it’s likely that cool sculpting would work for me when it’s safe to do so? I know that a tummy tuck is the ideal solution for the C section shelf but I’d like to avoid it if I can, if anybody has any treatment suggestions? Photos attached. TIA

Thank you for your question. Once you are healed from your C section you can come in for a consultation to see if CoolSculpting will be a good option for you.

CoolSculpting can be effective in reducing the fullness of the abdomen that is due to fat.  The treatment will not tighten skin however.  After you are fully healed from your C-section, if there is some fullness there from fat, this could be treated with CoolSculpting.

Hi, thank you for your question! Yes, CoolSculpting could be an option for this area. I would recommend waiting a full year post a cesarean section. The scar tissue needs time to heal in the area. I would recommend having an in person consultation.
