Coolsculpting on the tummy is a non-invasive procedure that helps reduce fat cells in targeted areas. It is a popular method for body contouring and achieving a slimmer appearance.
The tummy area is one of the most common problem zones that both men and women struggle to slim and contour. If you feel like you've tried everything, from crunches to keto, but that pesky pooch remains, it may be time to explore an advanced fat reduction treatment like CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction procedure that uses controlled cooling to eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat. It's one of the biggest breakthroughs in aesthetic technology in the last decade and the world's #1 non-invasive fat reduction treatment.
Keep reading to learn all about how CoolSculpting can help you achieve the trim, taut tummy you've been dreaming of with no surgery or downtime.
CoolSculpting is a revolutionary fat freezing treatment that uses a technology called cryolipolysis to break down and dispose of unwanted fat cells. It was cleared by the FDA in 2010 for the flank area and now has expanded clearances for treatment on areas like the thighs, abdomen, chin, and arms.
Here's how it works:
The CoolSculpting device uses vacuum pressure to gently draw the targeted area between two cooling panels. This pulls the skin and underlying fat in between the panels. The panels then deliver precisely controlled cooling at just the right temperature to freeze the fat cells underneath without damaging surrounding tissues.
Exposure to the cold temperatures triggers a process of natural cell death called apoptosis. Over the next 2-3 months, your body metabolizes the frozen dead fat cells and flushes the lipids out through the lymphatic system. Results become noticeable within 3 weeks after treatment, with optimal results usually seen 2-3 months post-procedure as your body clears away the dead fat cells.
Most patients only need one CoolSculpting session per treatment area to see noticeable, lasting results. However, some may benefit from multiple sessions spaced one month apart for optimal fat reduction.

CoolSculpting is ideal for slimming and contouring the abdomen area. Here's why it's such an effective option for reducing stubborn belly fat:
CoolSculpting is proven to reduce the fat layer thickness in the abdomen by 46.6% at 6 months. Imagine finally getting rid of those stubborn fat pockets around your belly that diet and exercise alone can't seem to budge!
The CoolSculpting procedure can target fatty bulges nearly anywhere on the abdominal area, including:
The device can easily conform to fit different body areas for customized treatment. Your provider will help determine the optimal placement during your consultation.
CoolSculpting on the tummy is suitable for both women and men who have noticeable, pinchable fat bulges around their midsection that haven't responded to diet or exercise.
Good candidates include:
| Specific stubborn areas of fat | CoolSculpting is designed for spot reduction and is ideal for people looking for reduction of specific stubborn areas of fat |
| Near a healthy weight | Ideal candidates are at or near a healthy weight and not significantly overweight |
| Already exercising and eating well | Good candidates are already exercising and eating well but have stubborn fat pockets that haven't responded to diet or exercise |
| Contouring without surgery | Patients who want excellent abdominal contouring without surgery can benefit from CoolSculpting |
| Patience for gradual results | CoolSculpting is not a quick fix, but it offers long-lasting results. If you're willing to be patient and understand that full results may take three or more months to become apparent, you're on the right track |
| Realistic expectations | Fat reduction isn't as simple as a one-time procedure, and the area of concern should be localized and relatively soft, not firm. The final results from CoolSculpting may become visible only after several months |
| BMI close to ideal | A BMI score below 30 is advised for most body areas, except for the double chin area, where the BMI score must be below 43 |
| No medical contraindications | Certain medical conditions, such as pregnancy, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, history of bulimia or anorexia in the last year, hernia in the treated area, or recent surgery on the area to be treated, may eliminate a person from being an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting. |
During your one-on-one consultation, our CoolSculpting specialist will assess your unique case to determine if you're a good match for abdominal fat freezing.
Once the treated fat cells are eliminated from your body, they are gone for good. Your results from abdominal CoolSculpting can last years as long as your weight remains stable.
Of course, living a healthy lifestyle, maintaining your weight, and avoiding significant weight gain can help preserve your slimmed, sculpted figure. But you don't have to kill yourself dieting and exercising to keep your results. Moderation and consistency are key.
While the destroyed fat cells won't come back, you may gradually gain new fat, just like a non-treated individual. However, you can always get touch-up sessions to target new problem areas.
Based on the long-lasting nature of CoolSculpting, most patients only need one to three treatments per area for life.

CoolSculpting is a very well-tolerated procedure. However, some minor side effects can occur:
These side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days to weeks. Talk to your provider about any concerns or questions.
Most CoolSculpting patients rate their discomfort level as minor. During the first few minutes of treatment, you may feel intense cold, stinging, cramping or aching which soon dissipates as the area becomes numb.
After treatment, the abdominal area may remain tender, numb, stiff or sore for up to a couple weeks. Some bruising is also common. Most tenderness and soreness resolves within about 10-15 days but can last up to a month or longer in some cases.
Our provider will discuss using NSAIDs, cold packs, compression or ibuprofen to relieve any tenderness. Contact us if your pain persists beyond 2 weeks or is not manageable with over-the-counter methods.
With CoolSculpting, you can expect:
Visible improvements start becoming apparent within 2-3 weeks after treatment. However, the most dramatic results emerge over a period of 2-3 months as your body flushes away the eliminated fat cells.
While some patients are satisfied after one session, most require 2-3 treatments per area to realize their desired transformation. With each treatment, you can expect a 20-25% reduction in the fat layer.
CoolSculpting is designed to eliminate unwanted fat bulges. It does not tighten loose, sagging skin or address abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti).
However, some patients do report modest skin tightening from CoolSculpting treatments. The cold may stimulate collagen production which can slightly improve skin laxity. But dramatic skin tightening should not be expected.
Patients with moderate to severe loose abdominal skin may benefit more from a procedure like a tummy tuck rather than CoolSculpting alone. Discuss your options with our providers to determine the best treatment plan for your goals.
