Can I Do Zeltiq Three Weeks After Laproscopic (Keyhole) Surgery?

The scar may need to heal for several more weeks before it can safely undergo the suction of the adjacent area. Check with your surgeon as to when they feel comfortable that the strong pulling on the right flank won't upset the wound of the right abdomen.

Thank you for your question.  I would suggest that you allow your body to heal from your previous procedure before undergoing the Coolsculpting procedure.  The best thing is to have your body heal and when your surgeon gives you the "green light" to proceed, that is the best time to get the treatment.  Best Wishes!

 

Coolsculpting does have a relative contraindication for treatment in a prior surgical site. In your case, this may not be relevant but should be evaluated by your coolscultping physician before deciding upon surgery. Either way I would suggest waiting 6 months after any surgery prior to Coolsculpting.

CoolSculpting after any abdominal surgery should be put off until you are fully healed.  After a surgical procedure you could be at risk of a possible herniation or a number of other complications including delayed healing.  I would not engage in any CoolSculpting treatments until you get the OK by your Surgeon. 

Good Luck!
