CoolSculpting Elite Richmond
What Areas Can Be Addressed With CoolSculpting?
Dr. Sundin may recommend CoolSculpting as an alternative to surgery when you only have a few areas with stubborn fat. CoolSculpting is not a skin tightening or weight loss procedure, but it is ideal for men and women who are at a healthy weight and are interested in reshaping and contouring certain parts of the body. We also have an applicator that can treat smaller areas. We can treat many common problem areas, including:
- Thighs
- Abdomen
- Love Handles
- Flanks
- Back Fat
- Bra Fat
- Banana Rolls
- Neck
- Arms

The CoolSculpting Technology
CoolSculpting is the only body contouring technology that uses the power of cold to naturally reduce the presence of unwanted fat cells. Utilizing an innovative process known as cryolipolysis, CoolSculpting literally freezes and breaks down the fat cells responsible for those persistent and unsightly fatty deposits.
Once these unwanted fat cells have been frozen, your body’s natural metabolic process gently and safely eliminates them. Your post-treatment recovery period will be incredibly limited, meaning you can enjoy impressive results without having to take any time away from your busy day-to-day schedule.

Paradoxical Hyperplasia Treatment for CoolSculpting Patients
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction procedure and has become popular among patients who don’t want to undergo liposuction to remove fat in smaller problem areas. A rare condition called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) after CoolSculpting can occur in some patients. When this happens, the treatment area increases in size because of the development of a large, painless mass of tissue.
Fortunately, this can be easily treated with surgery. Our board-certified (ABPS) surgeons are trained to perform liposuction for PAH to remove the mass and achieve the result the patient was striving for. In many cases, CoolSculpting will cover the cost of liposuction for the treatment of PAH.
What Causes paradoxical adipose hyperplasia?
The cause of this condition is still unknown and experts suggest that cryolipolysis triggers the formation of excess tissue in response to treatment. Many patients with PAH that gain some weight after CoolSculpting report exaggerated fat growth in the treated area, compared to other parts of the body.

- We have treated numerous patients successfully for this condition
- Can facilitate reimbursement through coolsculpting insurance company
Signs of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia
While this condition isn’t painful, patients who develop PAH typically want to have the growth removed and achieve the result they were looking for with CoolSculpting. Common signs and symptoms include:
- Fat that isn’t distributed evenly in the treated area
- Firm knots or nodules forming under the skin
- Deformities developing within the tissue
