What causes excess skin to appear after CoolSculpting?

Excess skin after CoolSculpting is typically due to a number of factors, such as the patient’s age, skin elasticity, and the amount of fat removed during the procedure. As the skin loses elasticity with age, it may not be able to “snap back” into place after the fat has been removed. Additionally, if too much fat is removed during the procedure, the skin may not be able to contract enough to fit the new contours of the body. In some cases, excess skin can also be caused by improper technique during the procedure, such as not keeping the applicator in place long enough or not cooling the area adequately.
