Is there any contraindication to having the Coolsculpting following treatment for
Coolscultping After Cancer
Aug 2, 2018
There should be no significant contraindication to Coolsculpting. Generally, after surgery, it can take up to a full year for the incisions to regain full strength.

Any effects are temporary, and the function of the muscles should return to normal once the effects have worn off. However, it is impossible to tell whether the symptoms that you are noticing are related to the Botox or some other cause without knowing the…
CoolSculpting had pop off after 16 minutes
What to do with an incomplete Coolsculpting cycle.
May 31, 2018
As a practical matter, a Coolsculpting cycle is considered irreversibly underway after 5 minutes-so the option is to repeat the cycle or not. While 16 minutes may give adequate treatment, ideally, the area should be treated for the full cycle. Allergan is very responsive–and so if there is an incomplete cycle, your provider can discuss getting that incomplete cycle repeated.
Theoretically, the full treatment would be the ideal time to allow for adequate freezing of the…
