Is it safe to get Smart Lipo after having done CoolSculpting?

Thank you for your question. SculpSure is the ideal fat loss laser technique on the market today. I suggest that you move forward by consulting with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to learn more about this option and your candidacy as it has the potential to eliminate up to 25% of your unwanted belly fat. SculpSure can be a great substitute for both SmartLipo and CoolSculpting based on the patient's needs.

Best wishes,

No problem doing lipo soon after coolsculpting. The results and recovery are the same as if no coolsculpting was done.

Yes, you can have Coolsculpting done before your procedure. With liposuction, I recommend a combination with ThermiRF/ultrasound and fat grafting to get the most contouring, fat removal and sculpting. It may be better to combine treatments with your liposuction. I would consult with your Dr. about your goals and what options are best for you. Best, Dr. Emer

You can do Cool Sculpting again, but it may cause some scar tissue and make the smart lipo slightly more difficult.An exam and consultation with a/your plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

I would recommend holding off on the cool sculpting since you have smart liposuction scheduled.  You will get the best result with the smart lipo.

I would not recoomend this for a few reasons.  First, the CoolSculpting may cause some scrring or inflammed tissue that will decrease the results of your liposuction, not improve them.  I would wait a minimum of 6 months between these procedures.

Second, both these therapies treat the same issue.  If you are seeing someone experienced with liposuction, they should be able to achieve the results you want from that treatment alone.  You do not need the CoolSculpt.  If they are in different areas, then feel free to proceed.

Good luck to you,

Dr. Powell
