Q. I had 9 total CoolSculpting treatments, 4 in one day and 5 in the same day two months later. I have gained three pounds since the last treatment and one inch around my waist. I was told if the CoolSculpting didn’t work, the company that makes the machine would pay for Lipo. I have heard Lipo can leave lumpy marks. I want my love handles gone and a flat stomach. I am 49 and a smoker, 5’5 and weigh 134 lbs, would a mini tummy tuck work or would I need a full tummy tuck, would I need Lipo?
A. CoolSculpting (CS) works in those patients who work with CS. A small loss of fat in multiple areas will accumulate to a minor liposuction-like result when the applicators are properly placed. Just like liposuction (or tummy tuck) you may improve your contour but you must lose the weight removed by these techniques. Otherwise, the calories will make larger fat cells elsewhere.
