Is Cryolipolysis compatible with breastfeeding? Do we have alternatives for Cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis

May 19, 2018 (Very Low Risk)

A non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that applies local cooling to the skin, decomposing the subcutaneous fat and achieving moderate reductions.

It has a low percentage of side effects (Stroumza 2017, Nseir 2017, Lee 2016, Derrick 2015) being safer than liposuction and not altering the blood analysis of fats or liver metabolism (Ingargiola 2015).

Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breast milk.

Since it does not alter the body's metabolism, it does not represent a risk for breastfeeding.

It should not be applied to the breast.
