I had keyhole surgery to remove a 3cm cyst from my left ovary three weeks ago. I am still not allowed to engage in vigorous sports but I feel fine and am able to go about my daily activities. The entry point for the surgery is on the right side of my lower abdomen. I am very dissatisfied with my right love handle (significantly thicker than the left). I am keen to have Zeltiq done to the right love handle. Is it ok for me to do it now?

Answer: CoolSculpting should avoid treating an area having a recent surgical scar
Zeltiq was not designed as a weight loss device. Zeltiq was designed for someone with localized fat deposits and problem areas. You have no problem areas and perhaps can go on to a modeling career for swimsuits after all!
Thank you for your question. Yes, it is common to have some swelling, numbness, bruising and tenderness after Coolsculpting treatment and typically resolves in a few weeks. Typically, patients start to see results in about a month with maximum results around three months. If you have any other...
Despite being thin, there shouldn't be a risk to internal organs when undergoing Zeltiq's CoolSculpting as it doesn't penetrate through the muscle layer. Of course, your doctor should evaluate you before saying that you can have CoolSculpting.
