If Coolsculpting kills off fat cells, then where is body fat stored after the procedure?

January 28, 2017
Asked By:travelin boy in Washington, DC

Since the procedure cuts down the number of fat cells in my body, do the remaining fat cells simple enlarge as necessary to hold the fat my body wants to store by it's natural processes? Does my body's fat storage capacity simply go down permanently? If so, then what does my body do with the fat it can't find room to store?
