Q: Can I have CoolSculpting by Zeltiq in NYC, on my love handles if I am going to have Liposuction on my abdomen in a month?A: Yes you can. You might however, be a candidate to have liposuction on both your love handles and abdomen. You should ask your surgeon if you have not done so already.
Q: Is there an equivalent procedure to Zeltiq CoolSculpting in NYC that I can do at home?
A: No. CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is a physician-supervised procedure. The correct applicators must be applied to your skin carefully and is best done by an assistant to the physician, not you at home by yourself.
Q: Might I gain weight after Zeltiq's CoolSculpting?
A: The procedure doesn't make you gain weight, but if you have been eating more than you need to maintain your energy balance, and don't change your behavior after you have CoolSculpting, then you may put weight back on. The fat cells in CoolSculpting have been shown by Zeltiq, to be permanently eradicated, but more fat can be stored in the remaining fat cells.
Q: My upper arms of flabby and I'm a singer who doesn't want to wear short sleeves when I'm on stage. I don't want to have surgery. Can CoolSculpting in NYC help me?
A: Possibly. The doctor would have to evaluate your physique to see if there is an abundance of fat that may respond to one of the applicators of the Zeltiq CoolSculpting units as an off-label indication. There can be nerve soreness or numbness though and you should discuss this although that risk, while still not common, may occur more with liposuction.
Q: Should I get CoolSculpting in NYC if I want to look better in my bikini next week for my vacation?
A: CoolSculpting can be done before your vacation, but you won't see improvement that quickly. In fact, there can be swelling related to the inflammation and healing of the procedure as the body digests away the frozen / killed fat cells. You also may see some bruising which could take several more days to go away, after you get to your destination. It would be safe to do it before your trip, and people do, but as you won't expect to see the improvement, you should at least consider doing it after so as not to risk ruining your vacation, just in case there is a little sensitivity in some areas or remaining bruises.
