How many treatments does one need to get full results from CoolSculpting?

Question

Is the cost of Cool Sculpting per area treated? Is the fat transfer done by liposuction? Also, is it possible to do a fat transfer from tummy/love handle area to butt? I'm wondering exactly what kind of treatment I can get as cheaply as possible. Then I'd also like some sort of breast augmentation, but I don't know the difference between all of them & which would be best for me. Maybe cost wise a Mommy Makeover would be best for me?

Hello,Thanks for your question. In my experience, two treatments is recommended. Of course, each patient is unique so you could require more or less. We price CoolScultping treatments per area.Since you have many areas of interest, I would recommend a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss all of your options.

Coolsculpting is the first ever non-invasive procedure to permanently kill's up to 25% of the fat cells in the desired area. 
You can see full optimal results with just one treatment.

Thank you for your question. An in person assessment is best for determining the amount of sessions you will need. I suggest consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine the best course of treatment. Regards,

This is tough to answer without pictures. The amount of treatments needed will vary. If you have skin laxity, you would be a candidate for a tummy tuck which can be combined with a hi definition procedure at the same time. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Typically, appreciable Coolsculpting results require one to three applicator treatments to each area, spaced two to three months apart.  Depending upon the patient's anatomy, a particular area to be treated (i.e. lower abdomen) may require more than one applicator to treat the entire area, for example a patient may benefit from placing an applicator both above and below the belly button, each being a separate treatment.  The cost is per applicator treatment, however discounts are applied if a patient pays for a package of applicator treatments in advance.Because Coolsculpting is a noninvasive treatment (the fat is slowly broken down over time, not physically removed at the time of treatment), it can't be used for fat transfer.  Fat transfer is only possible with liposuction.A visit to a plastic surgeon's office will help you to understand if you're a candidate for the procedure, and what aesthetic outcomes are realistic in your particular case.  In order to get a qualified, ethical, and expert opinion on your surgical options and expectations, always schedule an in-person office consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

While it’s possible to see results from one treatment of CoolSculpting, the recommended average number of cycles per area is 2-3 to see optimal results. If you’re considering having other work done, schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to ensure an effective treatment plan that will get you the desired results you're looking to achieve. Thanks for reaching out!

The answer of how many CoolSculpting® treatments you'll need can vary from individual to individual. Many people feel positive about their results after a single session, while others may schedule additional appointments to reach their goals. One option is to look for a CoolSculpting® provider who offers multiple machines so you can treat multiple areas at once. The fat treated by CoolSculpting® can't be combined with fat transfer procedures, as it's completely non-invasive, and won't affect the size of your breasts. If you want plastic surgery or a more involved approach to body contouring, CoolSculpting® may not be the best option for you.

Reza Momeni, MD, FACS · Answer

The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat and also your expectations, and should be discussed with your surgeon during your consultation.

Hello and thank you for reaching out. The cost of CoolSculpting per treatment can vary practice to practice, so it's best to check with your specific location about their own pricing. It is possible to have a fat transfer from abdomen or love handle area to your buttocks, however not everyone is a candidate for that procedure, and without a physical exam it might be hard to determine if that procedure would benefit you. Best option would be to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can review all of your wanted procedures with you. Best Wishes.
