Zeltiq CoolSculpting - Pain, Bruising, Risks?
CoolSculpting: Amazing Safety Profile
Oct 5, 2018
With over 1,000 treatments performed, we can safely say that most of our patients have little to no discomfort during the Coolsculpting procedure, regardless of the applicator. The newest applicators use gentle suction, so while some patients have a little suction marks that appear like bruises, most patients have no visible sign of treatment. The most common visual side effect is a little pinkness, as though you've had an ice pack on the treated area; this dissipates usually within a few...
Will CoolSculpting help look of legs? It not, what will?
CoolSculpting Thigh Treatments
May 11, 2018
CoolSculpting is a great way for patients to improve their thighs by decreasing unwanted fat. Its very common for stubborn fat to accumulate in one trouble area like the thighs, even if you don't have unwanted fat anywhere else. That's part of what makes CoolSculpting so great! You can target specific areas of subcutaneous fat without having to focus on whole-body weight loss.
Currently CoolSculpting is approved for the inner thigh, outer thigh, back of the thigh (banana roll) and tops of...
Where does the fat go? How does your body get rid of it?
CoolSculpting: Where does the fat go?
May 11, 2018
CoolSculpting delivers gentle controlled cooling to the area being treated. The temperature setting is specific enough to cause a programmed cell death in the lipid cells, a process called apoptosis. The fat cells in the treated area die, about 20-25% for most patients. The body's lymphatic system acts as a clean-up crew, and sends out cells called macrophages to come through and clean away the dead and damaged cells. Your body then processes out the dead fat cells for up to four months...
Does CoolSculpting Really Work?
CoolSculpting Works
May 11, 2018
CoolSculpting is a great option for individuals who have stubborn pockets of fat that won't disappear with diet and exercise. It really does work-- with that said, its important to discuss patient expectations and what makes a good candidate. Ideal patients are withing 5-15 lbs of their ideal weight, and are able to maintain their current weight. Since each treatment results in approximately 20-25% reduction of subcutaneous fat in the treated area, the number of treatments needed for the...
Coolsculpting on upper arms available?
Coolsculpting the Arms
May 11, 2018
CoolSculpting is a great option for treating upper arm fat! Office like ours carry the newly designed Petite applicator, which is tailored to the delicate arm area. While most patients see tightening and firmly of the area, CoolSculpting is not designed to treat sagging skin. Consultations with a physician directed practice are always recommended to see if you are a good candidate.
Long-term Effects of Coolsculpting?
CoolScultpting Long Term Results0
Apr 3, 2018
The safety profile of CoolSculpting is incredibe. The treatment only targets the lipid cells, with no damage to the skin, nerves, or other tissues. Think of it as though you are putting a butter in the fridge versus a glass of water- the fat cells are affected more by the cold than other bodily materials. Plus, symptoms are transient, so even though most patients experience tingling or numbness right after the procedure, those dissipate in a short time. Once the fat is eliminated from the...
How Long Does the Coolsculpting Procedure Last and How Many Treatments Are Needed?
CoolSculpting Treatment Time
Apr 3, 2018
The time it takes to be treated for CoolSculpting depends on the type of applicator used, and the number of treatment cycles needed to treat each area. This is determined together with your specialist at your consultation appointment. The brand new applicator that is used on abdomens only take 35 minutes per cycle treatment, which means that your appointment could be 1.5 hours for 2 cycles, or 3.5 hours for 4 cycles. Your physician directed office can give you more details on the...
How Much Does CoolSculpting by Zeltiq Cost?
CoolSculpting Cost

CoolSculpting is protected by the manufacturer, Zeltiq, and the owner of the product, Allergan. What this means for you as a consumer is that all reputable places charge about the same per applicator cycle.

Sientra Implants pulled from US Market? What should I do for my scheduled augmentation? It was sch
Implant comparisons
Oct 22, 2015
Dear "Concerned":As you can see from the various answers that you have so far received, we plastic surgeons have our own preferences and prejudices. Having performed thousands of these operations, I can tell you that I use all current manufacturers implants, but periodically favor one type more than another for individual reasons. Lately, I have been using many Sientras, and they are excellent and I believe a bit more "form stable" than the other manufacturers. Nevertheless, your surgeon...
What type of procedure would benefit my face/cheeks the most?
Facial Shaping
Oct 22, 2015
To get more definition to your face, we want to devise more fullness in the cheekbone area and less in the areas adjacent to the corners of the mouth. If there were an imaginary line from just above the earlobe to the corner of the mouth, we'd want to enhance the cheek above the line and reduce the fullness below the line. Removing the buccal fat pad would be perfect for creating some concavity below the line and enhancing above can be accomplished in several ways. If you want to be able to...
For plastic surgeons- what are the largest pec implants that you have used or have ever heard bein
Bigger pecs
Oct 22, 2015
Your current chest/pec contour looks excellent. but since the photo only shows your upper body, we can't judge the chest proportion together with the rest of the body. particularly height. A larger implant will require that it be custom-made. Working with you in terms of the particular zones of the chest where you want further fullness, the process should be easier than usual since we would use a "sizer" of your current implant to indicate where the manufacturer needs to enlarge. The only...
Will calf implants improve my abnormally skinny legs?
A balanced leg contour from implants
Oct 22, 2015
I agree with the other doctors who have replied. Calf implants are very effective in enhancing the contours of the lower legs and creating balance with the thighs or even going beyond to create a "buff", well-muscled appearance when the calf muscles are already well-shaped. I always prefer a 2-implant approach to produce a natural look. The procedure is usually straight-forward and low risk. However, the risk becomes higher when too large an implant is tried. Be careful not to try to "push"...
Is my wound healing well? Do I have an open wound?
Wound separation
Sep 29, 2015
While you have a small area of minor wound edge separation along the outer side of the left areola, everything appears to be normal at this early stage. Your surgeon may elect to put a supportive stitch at the separation or some superglue and tape support or simply let things proceed. Overall, everything looks just as expected. Stick with your surgeon's recommendations.All the best.John A. Grossman, M.D.
I have an open wound caused by a suture abscess, how long will this take to heal?
Slow healing
Sep 29, 2015
This location following breast lift or breast reduction, called the T-junction, is the most common location for wound problems with delayed healing. With conscientious wound care such as wet-to-damp dressings (don't let the gauze completely dry out since the wound needs some moisture to encourage healing), the wound should close completely in 2-4 weeks. Sometimes, if there is still any stitch remnants in the open wound, it will impede healing. If you see any exposed stitches in the wound,...
4 kids later and a BA is in store
Searching for answers
Sep 4, 2015
Yours is among the most common concerns of young women following child-bearing who wonder "where their bodies have gone". I have spent more than 30 years discussing this problem with them. Deflation is the natural history of a woman's breasts over the course of life, but especially after kids and breast feeding. It results in more skin and less "filler"/breast tissue.The reversal involves either adding volume (an implant), removing excess skin to tighten the breast (an uplift), or both...
