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?
Answer: Remaining fat cells Thank you, this is a great question! All adults have a fixed amount of fat cells which will continue to expand or contract depending on whether they gain or lose weight. After treatment, the fat cells die (in the specific area treated) and your own body will metabolize these cells and naturally excrete them from your system. The treatment does not prevent other fat cells that are active in the body from getting larger or smaller. This is why it is important to be a stable or ideal weight prior to treatment. Post treatment, weight will be evenly distributed throughout the remaining fat cells in the body. CoolSculpting reduces a certain percentage of those fat cells in specific treated areas. It is best to maintain a healthy diet and exercise, as the remaining fat cells can will continue to expand or contract. For more information regarding your question please see the video below. Good luck to you!

Answer: Fat storage after CoolSculpting This is an excellent question. The CoolSculpting procedure destroys the fat cells in the treated area. The remaining fat cells, in the treated area as well as the rest of the body, will continue to expand to store excess fat just as they always have. This storage process is distributed evenly throughout your body. Similar to liposuction, good CoolSculpting candidates are people with localized areas of fat resistant to diet and exercise who maintain a fairly stable weight.

Answer: Coolsculpting Results--Add Radiofrequency, Thermage, Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, VASER, ThermiRF Coolsculpting is targeted fat reduction in the treated area. Your body will still be able to store fat, but the amount of fat in specific areas will be reduced. Keep in mind, final results with Coolsculpting can take up to 3-4 months. For best results with Coolsculpting, I recommend a combination. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. VASER with ThermiRF is the best alternative if you get hyperplasia or want a more contouring outcome. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Where is body fat stored after Coolsculpting? Coolsculpting will reduce the amount of fat in the area being treated, but it doesn't effect the fat in the rest of the body. We have fat under the skin of nearly the entire body, so fat stores are still being used throughout the body, just less so in the area where Coolsculpting destroyed some of the fat.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa Aesthetic Centers

Answer: CoolSclupting fat destruction The fat that breaks down after CoolSculpting is eliminated as waste. The reaming fat cells of the body elsewhere can of course expand, so this is not a weight loss treatment, rather a shaping treatment. You should continue a healthy diet and exercise regimen to ensure you don't gain weight.
