Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia from Coolsculpting
I was recently featured in a New York Post article about weird fat growth known as PAH or Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia from Coolsculpting. Most patients do not fully understand PAH, so I’ve taken the time to answer some frequently asked questions, below.
What is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia from Coolsculpting?
For some unknown reason when energy is applied to the body from the outside especially cold energy in some people the fat does not shrink but grows. The fat does not just grow but it becomes encases in scar tissue.

Over the next few months after the coolsculpting treatment people who are effected by PAH notice the areas that were treated start to grow and become hard
What does Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia from Coolsculpting feel like?

How do I get rid of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia from Coolsculpting?

What is the surgical procedure to get rid of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia from Coolsculpting?
We have done 100’s of these cases from around the world, here are the keys:
- Its almost always a form of liposuction
- Its rarely skin removal like a tummy tuck
- Key is using low lever vaser energy to soften the scar and fat
- If the surgeon is using other types of energy it could burn the fat and scar and make it worse not better
- The after care including 24/7 access to surgeon and nursing team is essential
- Special compression foams and a lymphatic drainage specialist protocol is absolutely necessary- this is logical because you are combatting an inflammatory process which continues outside the operating room
