CoolSculpting for Bra Fat
CoolSculpting to Reduce Bra Fat
If you are someone who struggles to get rid of their upper back fat (also known as “bra fat” or “bra bulge”) or fat between the top of your bra and your armpit, you are not alone.
This can be a very stubborn area to target with exercise alone. While there are a number of exercises that may help you to tone your upper back muscles, actually losing the fat pockets that accumulate is often determined by your genetics and age-related hormones.
CoolSculpting is the only known method to specifically target and reduce bra fat without invasive surgery.
CoolSculpting can safely and effectively reduce bra fat without the serious risks and side effects associated with other treatment alternatives.
Patients experience a cooling sensation which acts as a natural anesthesia during the procedure. Some patients experience some discomfort when the applicator is applied and during the post-treatment massage of the treatment area.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction procedure that involves no anesthesia, needles, or incisions. Like placing warm butter in the refrigerator, it’s based on the principle of cooling subcutaneous fat to the point that the fat cells are destroyed by the cooling process and absorbed by the body. Subcutaneous fat is the layer of fat just under the skin.

Fast facts about Coolsculpting
- CoolSculpting is a patented, non-surgical cooling technique used to reduce fat in targeted areas.
- CoolSculpting is based on the science of cryolipolysis. Cryolipolysis uses cold temperatures to freeze and destroy fat cells only.
- Muscle, blood and other tissue freezes at lower temperatures and are not frozen by CoolSculpting.
- The procedure was created to address stubborn, specific areas of fat not responsive to diet and exercise.
- CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to treat fat cells on the inner and outer thigh, abdomen, sides (flanks), upper arms, bra fat area between the top of the bra and the armpit, the back of the legs beneath the buttocks (e.g. the "banana roll"), and chin.
Safety
- In 2012, CoolSculpting was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for specific treatment areas.
- The procedure is non-invasive and doesn’t require anesthesia.
- More than 6,000,000 CoolSculpting procedures have been completed worldwide.
- Some patients experience minimal swelling and sensitivity which typically go away within a few days following treatment.
- CoolSculpting may not be right for you if you have a history of Raynaud’s disease or severe sensitivity to cold temperatures.
Convenience
- Since we have the newest technology available, procedure times have been drastically reduced and start at only 35 minutes per treatment.
- We also offer DualSculpting because we have two machines and can CoolSculpt two areas at the same time. Typically, this means treatments take half the time of normal CoolSculpting.
- Recovery times are minimal and most patients resume their normal day-to-day activities immediately after the procedure.
Efficacy
- Individual results vary.
- Average results can range from 20 to 80% percent fat reduction although 20-25% is more typical following a single cryolipolysis procedure in treated areas.
- In rare cases, some individuals have displayed a resistance to the CoolSculpting treatment.
CoolSculpting Is a Non-Surgical, Non-Invasive Alternative to These Treatment Procedures:
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision and inserting a "cannula" which is used to break up and extract fat cells. Due to the nature of the procedure, patients can experience significant recovery time as well as numerous risks associated with surgical procedures.
Laser Lipolysis
Laser lipolysis involves making an incision in the skin and then inserting a "laser fiber cannula" which is used to heat the fat cells. Thermal injury is a risk associated with laser lipolysis because it's difficult to perceive the exact depth of the cannula in the tissue. Side effects of lipolysis may include: swelling, bruising and pain.
Exercises to Reduce Bra Fat
While a number of exercises exist to tone and strengthen your upper back and pectoral muscles, it's not possible to specifically target and lose bra fat or "bra-bulge" because it's not possible to specifically target certain areas of fat with exercise. To lose fat through diet and exercise, you have to operate at a caloric deficit, which should be done in moderation.
The challenge often lies with age-related hormonal changes, cortisol production as a result of stress, and genetics. A lot of our patients tell us they diet and exercise regularly (some are even fitness instructors), but they still found it difficult to lose their bra fat prior to their CoolSculpting treatments.

*Results & Patient Experience May Vary (Disclaimer): Many patients start to notice results after 21 days with full results occurring over a period of 8 weeks as your body naturally eliminates the fat cells frozen during treatment. CoolSculpting is not an alternative for exercise and a healthy diet and is not a diet or weight loss program. Average treatment times range from 35 to 45 minutes depending on the treatment area. The extent of the response to the CoolSculpting treatment varies from patient to patient with most patients experiencing a 25% reduction in fat per treatment. In some extremely rare cases, individuals have been resistant to the treatment. In the before and after photos, all patients were within +/- 5 lbs. of their original weight in their “after” photo unless otherwise noted. Click here for clinical information.
