Zeltiq Demarcation on Upper Abs Near Rib Cage

The results of Coolsculpting do require a bit of patience,  typically Coolsculpting feathers by itself, meaning there should not be a distinct ine of demarcation between treated and untreated areas.  I have a feeling what you are noticing is still swelling,  it is difficult to treat the upper abdomen even higher, as you mentioned you would start to run into the breast!

Thank you for your question.

I am glad that you see nice results after your CoolSculpting procedure.  I would ask that you allow things to heal completely before worrying about the demarcation. They usually say 2-4 months for the final results so at 6 weeks, you are still early in the process.

As for having CoolSculpting on the upper abdomen, I would ask that you are examined and measured by the doctor who is performing the procedure.  If you have enough tissue to be placed in the small applicator then you can have a nice result - the breast tissue should not be taken into the applicator.

Best Wishes!

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is individualized per patient.  You may be told by your doctor that the small applicator may work for the upper abdoemn.  It usually is not a concern about the breast tissue as it is not drawn into the applicator, however, it can be difficult if not impossible to draw in the desired skin and fat of the most upper abdomen because of the obstruction from the rib cage.  Your doctor will have to evaluate your condition.
