What happens if I was 6 weeks pregnant and had Coolsculpting?

Hi Trustworthy701979, your pregnancy and baby will not likely be affected as the Coolsculpting applicator only targets fat reduction-and does not occur deeply (your uterus is protected by multiple layers of abdominal wall muscles). Your body eliminates the fat cells per normal routes and would not impact your baby/pregnancy either. Coolsculpting occurs at temperatures that only affect fat and the tissues are limited to what fits in the applicator. Best wishes, Dr. Doolabh

Hi, thanks for your question. Coolsculpting should not affect your baby. Anyway, tell to your obstetrician to have a complete exam. The areas treated will have the regular changes of pregnancy, such as gaining weight. Congrats, and good luck!

In my opinion, having a CoolSculpting treatment when you were 6-7 weeks pregnant should have no effect on your baby or pregnancy. You most likely will be gaining weight during your pregnancy, so the areas you had treated will probably change in appearance. CoolSculpting does cause permanent fat cell destruction, so if you lose the weight after your pregnancy, the treated areas should still be improved from what they would have been if you weren't treated. Most patients do require at least two treatment sessions to obtain the desired results.
