Tummy CoolSculpting^®, also referred to as abdomen CoolSculpting^® or “tummy fat freezing” works well on subcutaneous fat – which is the soft, pinchable fat that’s located directly below the skin on the abdominal area. If you’re getting lower abdomen CoolSculpting^®, remember that this treatment is only designed for subcutaneous fat; it won’t work on hard belly fat or visceral belly fat that’s located in the trunk area close to your internal organs. The only way to reduce excess visceral fat is through healthy lifestyle changes.

During the treatment, a specialized device applies controlled cooling to the targeted area, such as the stomach, without harming the surrounding tissues. The cold temperature triggers a process called cryolipolysis, causing the fat cells to crystallize and ultimately die off. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these damaged fat cells through its lymphatic system. Stomach CoolSculpting^® can help sculpt and contour the abdomen, leading to a slimmer, more toned appearance without surgery or downtime.

Some patients wonder, “Is CoolSculpting^® a sagging stomach effective?” If the sagging is caused by excess fat, this treatment can be effective, but it won’t improve sagging skin that has lost elasticity. You may need to consider other non-surgical treatments to tighten excess skin on the abdomen area or even cosmetic surgery, if hanging skin on the stomach is one of your main concerns.
