Has anyone ever considered getting CoolSculpting to meet tape?

I am looking for someone who is willing to share their story about considering and/or getting coolsculpting, or any other cosmetic procedure, to pass tape. I am a graduate student at UT Austin working on my thesis concerning military fitness standards and cosmetic procedures. This is for an academic purpose and your name will be kept anonymous. Thank you.

I question whether military regulations would allow a Serviceman to take advantage of elective surgery for this purpose.

Hello,

Cool sculpting works however, it can take weeks to months to see the full effect. Additionally, it works great for a particular body type, there is no clinical effectiveness for obese candidates . It works best on “ skinny fat” body types. its much cheaper and safer that Liposuction!!

Most "cosmetic" surgery is not covered in the services- so it would come out of pocket- and I don't know if commands would allow it.

It seems to be big here in El Paso. At 47 I can honestly say that shedding a few pounds or getting rid of the love handles is not as easy as it once was, even with eating clean and exercise. I briefly considered it, but as I have never been taped in my life and have no problem with weight, I realized it would be solely for vanity's sake and I could spend my money on better things.

I admit to being interested in coolsculpting. I used to be fat and still have love handles from it. I hate seeing them in the mirror and no amount of diet or exercise has reduced or eliminated them.
