CoolSculpting is a revolutionary fat reduction technology designed to gently destroy fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue. Unlike other non-invasive fat reduction methods, CoolSculpting freezes adipose cells, permanently eliminating up to 25% excess fat in nearly any area of the body. The technology behind CoolSculpting is completely non-invasive, requiring no incision or discomfort. For this reason, CoolSculpting has become increasingly popular for the lack of recovery time involved.

Leslie B.

I was researching Cool Sculpt about 3 years ago . I felt most comfortable to have this type of procedure done by a medical professional ( doctor ) rather than in a spa setting. I made an appointment with K Plastic Surgery and I could not have made a better decision.
From the minute you enter Dr.K’s office, you are warmly greeted and made to feel so comfortable. Dr. K is very professional and explained everything. The procedure itself was quick and painless. All total I had the procedure done 4 times on 2 different areas and even 2 years later ( since my last procedure ) I am thrilled with the results….no more middle aged tummy or love handles. If you are even possibly considering Cool Sculpt, I highly recommend K Plastic Surgery !

Dr. Kayastha was very helpful since the beginning of the consultation, explaining every detail of the surgery all the way to the very last one, I would recommend anyone looking for his services and his staff are really nice and kind! Very happy will do all over again if needed.

Lacy M.

The office is immaculate. I’m always greeted with a smile and everyone remembers my name!! I’m usually in and out of the office, not like usual doctors’ offices where you sit and wait and wait. They get you in, they do their thing, answer all your questions, and send you on your way.

What is CoolSculpting?

Stubborn fat can be present almost anywhere on the body and can be nearly impossible to remove with diet and exercise alone. Liposuction is a popular body contouring procedure but requires medication, incisions, downtime, and risks associated with minimally invasive surgery. Now, patients can say goodbye to their unwanted fat with the help of CoolSculpting, a non-invasive procedure with minimal to no downtime. With controlled cooling technology, cold temperatures can freeze your fatty cells away for good.

We are excited to add the latest CoolSculpting applicator to our arsenal for freezing fat. This new applicator allows us to treat the thighs or abdomen most commonly. Unlike the previous applicators, it is not vacuum-based. Therefore, it can treat areas that were not able to be “CoolSculpted” before. This is ideal for various areas of non-pinchable fat bulges. All consultations for CoolSculpting are performed by Dr. Kayastha personally and not by a nurse or staff member– Dr. Kayastha personally adjusts the settings for the device during your treatment to get you the maximum effect. He also carefully hooks you to the machine to ensure your safety and comfort. Patients who have received a nonsurgical fat reduction from Dr. Kayastha have experienced incredible fat reduction results.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR COOLSCULPTING?

Any healthy individual struggling with stubborn pockets of localized fat around the body can consider CoolSculpting. Many patients consider subcutaneous fat removal after routine diet and exercise have failed to remove the last fatty deposits—this is a common issue for many individuals especially as we age. Ideal candidates will be within their target weight range before treatment and have realistic expectations about what a fat-freezing procedure can do. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure and cannot assist obesity. Patients who are not within their target weight range or with significant amounts of excess fat will likely be recommended to postpone or consider another procedure.

Though CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure, patients can still enjoy a toned figure that lasts a lifetime. Ask Dr. Kayastha about the best ways to maintain results.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR COOLSCULPTING PROCEDURE

Given the safe approach in the noninvasive technology behind CoolSculpting, these procedures can be customized to a variety of problem areas. There are common areas of the body where fat is particularly resistant to exercise, and CoolSculpting has widely been used to treat stubborn areas. However, the safety of the device makes it applicable to larger areas around the body where remnant pockets of fat cells reside—in total, CoolSculpting is commonly used to treat nine different areas.

CoolSculpting

Customization

  • Facial CoolSculpting

    Facial CoolSculpting is an ideal way to enhance facial features without invasive measures. Facial fat reduction treatment is most commonly used to reduce excess fat building up under the chin or along the underside of the jawline.

  • Mid-Body CoolSculpting

    Housing some of the most popular treatment areas, mid-body CoolSculpting can offer enhanced toning to your figure. Most commonly, patients seek CoolSculpting to tone their upper arms and abdomen, however, the procedure can also sufficiently improve back and bra fat.

  • Lower-Body CoolSculpting

    Beyond abdominal concerns, many patients also struggle with a buildup of fat cells in the lower body. CoolSculpting procedures have proven a great alternative to thigh lifts and other lower-body contouring procedures. Dr. Kayastha can perform the removal of fatty tissue on the thighs, flanks, or under the buttocks.

COOLSCULPTING RESULTS

It may take a few days for results to become significant, but stubble results will be apparent early on. Most patients see optimal results within 45 to 90 days depending on the amount of fat cells present and maintenance. Results can vary, but patients should expect between a 20-25% reduction in fat overall. CoolSculpting results are permanent, but patients may be encouraged to undergo two to three sessions for fully realized results.

RECOVERING FROM COOLSCULPTING

CoolSculpting’s technology begins to freeze and destroy fat cells instantly and continues this process well after the procedure has been completed. There is no real downtime associated with CoolSculpting, and patients can return to their normal schedule after the one to three-hour appointment.

Unlike traditional body sculpting and fat reduction procedures, CoolSculpting does not require lengthy downtime. Patients can enjoy their fast-acting results without discomfort.

Alternatives to CoolSculpting

For those seeking more dramatic results, we also offer surgical solutions to getting rid of injured fat cells and sagging skin.

Liposuction

Liposuction is the most effective fat-reduction technique on the market. In a minimally invasive surgery, a thin cannula is inserted under the skin, and excess fat is sucked out.

Abdominoplasty is an ideal procedure for patients with excess skin or weakened abdominal muscles. After removing excess skin and small amounts of dead fat cells, the tummy tuck surgery drastically flattens your torso.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does freezing fat hurt?

No, CoolSculpting is a pain-free process that patients enjoy watching TV, being on their phones, or even napping while the procedure happens.

What can I expect after CoolSculpting?

The results of CoolSculpting are up to a 25% reduction in fat in the treatment area, which can be compounded with multiple treatment sessions.

What is Cryolipolysis?

Crylipolysis is the scientific term for what happens during CoolSculpting treatments. It is the killing off of fat cells through cooling them to destructive temperatures. Fat freezing does not affect other vital tissues like the skin or blood vessels.

Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting?

Nearly anyone can be a good candidate for CoolSculpting if they are at a stable, normal weight and dont have underlying medical conditions that would disqualify them for non-invasive cosmetic procedures.

After a CoolSculpting session, you may have loss or reduction of sensation in the treatment area for up to 24 hours, although usually feeling is restored much sooner.

How soon can you repeat CoolSculpting?

Most people can have CoolSculpting treatments scheduled

What is the difference between CoolSculpting and body contouring?

CoolSculpting is a noninvasive fat removal method, using cooling technology to freeze and destroy fat cells. This can be beneficial if you have mild amounts of stubborn fat on certain areas of the body. However, CoolSculpting will not address large amounts of fat or loose skin and tissue. Surgical body contouring is the best way to improve these concerns.
