Coolsculpting should not be used in obese patients for weight loss
Coolsculpting is an excellent procedure to reduce fat bulges in the appropriately selected patient.
It is not intended for weight loss nor treatment in obese patients. (Steven Hacker, MD, West Palm Beach Dermatologic Surgeon)
Coolsculpting isn’t meant for weight loss. Coolsculpting is ideal for people who are stable in their weight and close to their ideal and want to address stubborn pockets and isolated areas of fat.
Cool Sculpt Removes Excess Fat And Contour A Slimmer Figure
Certain problem areas like the abdomen, love handles, back and bra fat can be nicely treated and improve appearance dramatically in some cases but even then there is not a significant amount of change on the scale. (Grant Stevens, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting is Not a Weight Loss Treatment
If a person is obese, this is not the right procedure for them. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment but rather a tool to sculpt the body to improve areas of stubborn fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise.
A good candidate for CoolSculpting is someone who is otherwise very near their healthy goal weight.
While this is not a good option for an obese patient, there are several other options available for an obese person both in terms of assisting with weight loss and in terms of body contouring after significant weight loss is achieved.
An in-person consultation with a board certified surgeon might be a good place to get started. (Frank Lista, MD, Toronto Plastic Surgeon)
Coolsculpting is not a weight loss procedure. It is an effective procedure for nonsurgical fat reduction. To determine if you are a candidate for coolsculpting, consult in person with a board certified physician who provide both surgical and coolsculpting options to determine which option is best for you. (Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS, West Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting is fat reduction
CoolSculpting is fat reduction not weight loss. It is a great treatment for exercise and diet resistant buldges that are stubborn.
The patients can expect to lose about 20-40% of subcutaneous fat. This is great for patients who don’t want down time. (Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS, Minneapolis Plastic Surgeon)
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss device
CoolSculpting is a great method of reducing a bulge in a certain area. It is not a weight loss device. You still need to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is designed just for certain hard to reduce areas that you are trying to reduce in combination with balanced nutrition and exercise.
You will lost 20% of the fat in the given area that you get treated with CoolSculpting and may go down a pant size in your waist. However, you will not “lose weight” from this treatment. Please find a dermatologist experienced with this treatment for your procedure for the best results. (Michele S. Green, MD, New York Dermatologist)
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment or program. CoolSculpting treats fatty areas that do not respond to diet and exercies.
A patient can expect to lose 20 – 23% fat in the treated area after one treatment. This is not a replacement for surgery or a diet. (Mitchell F. Grasseschi, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
Coolsculpting procedure is not a weight reduction procedure.
Coolsculpting is a procedure that can reduce diet and exercise resistant fat layers around the abdomen and love handles. It is not a weight reduction procedure. Actually no fat reducing procedures including liposuction with traditional, Vaser, Ultrasound , laser or Power assisted procedures should be done for weight loss.
All fat reducing procedures require that the patient exercise and incorporate a healthy diet and merely entertain the option of doing these procedures for resistant fatty deposits. (Laurie A. Casas, MD, FACS, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
