What is the best nonsurgical fat reduction treatment for inner thighs and saddle bags?
You Can’t Beat CoolSculpting
Jun 18, 2020
Thank you for your question. 
There is a wide range of CoolSculpitng applicators designed to treat multiple areas throughout the body. I recommend CoolScupting because, in my opinion, it is the best non-surgical body contouring procedure. I would have to see photos or conduct and exam to see if you are a good candidate.
Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting (postpartum) to slim waistline and tighten belly button skin
Belly Fat Begone!
Jun 18, 2020
Thank you for your question. 
Many women wish to trim their bellies down after giving birth. I specialize in CoolSculpting in my Los Angeles-based practice. Judging from your photographs, you would be and ideal candidate for the procedure.   
Lumpy under chin. Would CoolSculpting work?
Chin Up! There is a Solution
Jun 18, 2020
Thank you for your question. I specialize in CoolSculpting at my Los Angeles-based practice. There are CoolSculpting applicators specially designed for treating the areas at the chin and neck. Our patients have seen a lot of success with these very same issues.
I'm a healthy, active 29 year old adult woman. Will CoolSculpt, liposuction or other options help re
CoolSculpting Can Help
Jun 18, 2020
Thank you for your question.
CoolSculpting is ideal for freezing away stubborn pockets of fat. Judging by your description and photographs, it is very likely that you would be a great candidate.
Would CoolSculpting after Lipo be worth it for me?
Take Your Time
Jun 18, 2020
Thank you for your question. 
While it is not unheard of the get CoolSculpting after liposuction surgery, it is certainly unusual for a patient such as yourself to consider it, based on your photographs. Diet and exercise are the best way to maintain and even improve your results after any body contouring procedure. I’ve noticed that some patients tend to fixate on the areas where they have had work done. I would recommend to give it some time before considering to undergo another procedure.
After liposuction, can I use fat freezer to maintain my body?
Beware of At-Home Remedies
Jun 18, 2020
Thank you for your question.
I specialize in CoolSculpting in my Los Angeles-based practice. As the procedure has gained in popularity, I have seen a lot of knock off products and at-home remedies appear on the Internet for sale. If you are referring to one of these products, I strongly advise against it.
Diet and exercise are the best way to maintain your results.
CoolSculpting, SculpSure or Vanquish for getting rid of saddle bags?
Say Adios to Saddle Bags
Jun 18, 2020
It is very difficult to make a good judgment without a photo or an in-person observation. I will say that many of my patients at our Los Angeles-based practice come to us with the sort of “saddle bags” at the thighs just as you are describing. They are quite pleased with their results.
Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting, liposuction or tummy tuck?
Multiple Options Are Available
Jun 18, 2020
Thank you for your question. 
CoolSculpting is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that is ideal for freezing away discreet pockets of fat at the thighs, love handles and even the belly. I think that you may see some significant improvements at your tummy if you pursued a CoolSculpting solution. However, I would require an in-person observation to see if liposuction might be more appropriate.  
Can CoolSculpting be done on someone who has 2 full knee replacements, a screw in one foot, and a st
Please Proceed
Jun 18, 2020
Thank you for your question. 
It is important that you inform your doctor or CoolSculpting practitioner of any outstanding medical issue prior to your treatment. That being said, I see no reason not to (cautiously) proceed given the orthopedic issues that you have described.
How much weight gain could cause fat cells to migrate after CoolSculpting?
Extreme Solutions With CoolSculpting
Jun 18, 2020
Thank you for your question. 
Extreme weight gain is usually defined as between 50 and 100 lbs (or more). However, most patients use CoolSculping as an opportunity to kickstart a healthy lifestyle so that they can maintain their spectacular results! 
Is it safe for me to have Coolsculpting treatment on my chin area if I have Crohn's disease?
Practice Caution with Crohn's
May 18, 2020
Thank you for your question. 
I specialize in CoolSculpitng at my Los Angeles-based practice. If you have a preexisting medical condition, like Crohn's, then I always advise consulting closely with your doctor before you are cleared for the procedure. Only your doctor has a complete picture of your health context. 
I wish you luck on the rest of your journey.

Am I a candidate for Smartlipo or do I need a tummy tuck?
SmartLipo Might Be the Smartest Decision
May 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question. 
You are still young and quite slender. I do not believe that you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck or any other excisional procedure just yet. I do believe you will see some good results form any number of non-invasive skin-tightening procedures, particularly those that utilize radiofrequency energy or heat to achieve their results. 
I think that SmartLipo might be a good option that is worthy of more investigation. SmartLipo uses heat to loosen f...
Artmed Sophra v Kryolipolyse? Is this a good appliance for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting Abroad
May 18, 2020
Hello and thank you for your question. I specialize in CoolScupting and other body contouring procedures at my Los Angeles-based practice.
Our CoolSculpting protocol is a bit different here in the U.S., but I have many colleagues there in Europe with whom I am in frequent contact. I have the most experience and have heard more good things about Kryolipolyse. That may be because I’ve personally encountered the brand more. I recommend doing some research and making the final decision based o...
I had an ileostomy 8 years ago. Is it okay to get CoolSculpting over the area where it was?
Caution is Advised
May 18, 2020
I would recommend avoiding getting any sort of procedure done near your ileostomy site without close supervision by your doctor. CoolSculpting is a safe, completely non-invasive procedure. We specialized in the body contouring procedure at my Los Angeles-based practice. Still, given your medical history, discretion is strongly advised
I had all of my lymph nodes removed (2 yrs ago) from my pelvis to aorta. Can I still do CoolSculptin
No Nodes Doesn’t Mean “No”
May 16, 2020
Thank you for your question. It is, indeed, a clever one. 
You see, I specialize in CoolSculpting and other body contouring procedures at my Beverly Hills plastic surgery practice. We are experts in the field serving the world’s most discerning clientele. We do a lot of CoolSculpting. In my opinion, it is an amazing, transformative procedure. 
The reason your query holds so much insight is because, in the CoolSculpting procedure, it is eventually your lymphatic system that will expel the dea...
