Answer: CoolSculpting and Hypertension
Controlled hypertension or high blood pressure by itself is not a contraindication to undergoing a CoolSculpting procedure. Only a thorough physical exam and a review of your complete medical history can determine if you are an ideal candidate. Seek out the advice of a certified CoolSculpting practice. Good luck.

Thank you for your question.
There is no contraindication for a patient with controlled high blood pressure to undergo CoolSculpting procedure (as long as they are a good candidate). Speak with your treated doctor and tell him/her about your medical history.
Best Wishes!

Answer: Coolsculpting in a patient with hypertension
It is safe to have coolsculpting even though you have hypertension that is controlled through medication. Your blood pressure will rise during the initial part of the procedure when there is mild discomfort or if you get anxious.
The more important question is whether your abdominal fat is "fibrous." If it is soft and pinchable, it should go into the zeltiq probe easily. If it is firm, it will be much more difficult to treat with coolsculpting.
