CoolSculpting Safe Before IVF?

Question

Can I use Zeltiq if I'm thinking of doing IVF in the next couple of months?

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.

	I would want you to make sure that you are not pregnant when having the CoolSculpting procedure preformed.  There is no contraindication to having the procedure performed before starting IVF but it may be safer to just wait until after the IVF and pregnancy.

	Best Wishes!

As long as you have not started the IVF medication, there should not be any issues with having CoolSculpting before IVF.  It might not be advisable to have CoolSculpting if you started taking hormones for IVF in case the suction of the applicator from the Zeltiq equipment will be on area where the hormones are injected.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

It would be best to wait at least 6 months after pregnancy before proceeding with a Coolsculpting treatment.

Steven Hacker, MD · Answer

I would recommend that patients wait until after  pregnancy and after IVF to undergo Coolsculpting treatment.

Lori Stetler, MD · Answer

I don't know of any reason you couldn't do it before starting IVF.  If there will be injections for IVF in the area to be treated, I would recommend doing the Zeltiq first.  When in doubt, verify with your gynecologist.
