Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your treatment, from how it works to what to expect before, during, and after your session.
1. How soon after surgery can I have CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, but it's important to allow your body to fully heal from any surgical procedure first. In most cases, patients can safely begin CoolSculpting 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, depending on the type and extent of the procedure.
2. Does it treat loose skin?
No. CoolSculpting is designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat, not to tighten or remove excess skin. If loose skin is your main concern after significant weight loss, Dr. Merlo can review complementary skin-tightening options with you during your consultation.
3. How many sessions will I need?
It varies by patient and by treatment area. Many post-surgery patients achieve meaningful contouring in 1-2 sessions per area, but Dr. Merlo will design a personalized plan based on your anatomy and goals during your consultation.
4. Is it safe to do over surgical scars?
In most cases, yes—once the area is fully healed. Dr. Merlo will evaluate any surgical scars during your consultation and position the applicators to treat the surrounding fat safely, avoiding active or unhealed incision sites.
