Fat Freezing (cryolipolysis)

Fat Freezing (cryolipolysis)

Cryolipolysis is a simple, non-invasive fat-freezing process that uses cold temperatures to selectively eliminate fat cells in certain areas like the abdomen, thighs, back, buttocks, and jaw. The surgery, also known as CoolSculpting,  is commonly used for a slimmer appearance rather than weight loss.  32.2 and 39 degrees Fahrenheit temperature is used to freeze the fat suctioned by a device. FDA approves the technique for fat reduction and is not intended for obesity.

Fat freezing cost

The cost of fat-freezing surgery in Pakistan ranges between 50,000-200,000 PKR. The price can vary depending on the targeted areas and the expertise of the plastic surgeon.

  1. What diagnosis leads to Cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis is best suited for individuals in overall good health, without any existing neurological or orthopedic issues, who seek targeted fat reduction in specific body areas. However, it's not an advisable method for those struggling with obesity.

  1. What is the procedure for Cryolipolysis?

The cosmetic surgeon recommends wearing loose and comfortable clothing on the day of surgery. The procedure for cryolipolysis involves the following steps;

  • The targetted area is cleaned, and a gel pad is applied to protect the skin.

  • The cryolipolysis device is applied to the targeted area, which takes 35-60 min to work. It uses vacuum pressure to draw the fatty tissue into the applicator cup and cools the fat cells. You'll feel a sensation of intense cold at first, but this usually dissipates after a few minutes as the area becomes numb.

  • After removing the device, the surgeon may massage the treated area to break up the frozen deep tissue. This can help enhance the fat reduction process.

  • Over the next few weeks and months, your body will naturally process and eliminate the dead fat cells


  1. What are the risks & complications associated with Fat freezing (cryolipolysis)?

  • Risk of developing an infection

  • Neurologic or orthopedic problems due to intense temperature

  • Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia
