Overview
North Dallas-based, TX (Frisco, Allen, Plano, Mckinney) plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Najera, is proud to offer patients CoolSculpting. This is one of the latest advancements in fat removal for patients looking for an alternative to traditional liposuction. It is a treatment that eliminates stubborn fat safely and effectively, without surgery or downtime. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Since fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues, CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target and freeze the fat cells underneath the skin, essentially killing them. Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates the dead cells, creating a slimmer appearance in the targeted areas.

Procedure Technique
During treatment, the device is positioned on the area of the body that has been marked for fat removal, and controlled cooling is applied. As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, patients will feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. During the procedure, patients may choose to read, check email, or even take a nap. The CoolSculpting fat freezing procedure is nonsurgical, so patients can typically return to work and normal activities immediately. In the weeks and months following the procedure, the body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they're gone for good. Additional sessions may further enhance your results.
Expected Cost
The price for CoolSculpting procedures varies depending on how many areas of concern exist, and the size of these areas. Dr. Najera will help create a customized treatment plan during the consultation that will detail how much fat is to be removed as well as a specific pricing plan.

CoolSculpting FAQs
Best Candidates?
The CoolSculpting fat reduction procedure is specifically designed for those who have unwanted fat that is resistant to diet and exercise and have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, the CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese. It is, however, a nonsurgical alternative to liposuction.
Length of Each Session?
Dr. Najera will create an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific goals. The length of each CoolSculpting session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. More than one session may be needed to attain the desired results.
Will It Last?
Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), the body processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, so the fat cells are permanently removed. It’s important to note that new fat cells can form if a healthy lifestyle is not maintained.
Is This Safe?
The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen, and thigh. With over one million CoolSculpting treatments performed worldwide, it is proven to be a safe and effective treatment for nonsurgical fat reduction.
Recovery Time?
The CoolSculpting procedure is a nonsurgical procedure, so typically patients can return to normal activities immediately. Often times, patients return to work right after their CoolSculpting session is over.
Final Results?
Patients may start to see changes as quickly as 2-3 weeks after treatment, but the most dramatic results after 2-3 months. The body will continue to flush out fat cells for 4-6 months after treatment.
