“…A previous study reported that a single session of both lateral cryolipolysis to the abdomen over both "love handles" showed a significant reduction in VAT, by 16.2 cm 2 (11.4%), over a period of 8 weeks [23]. This was comparable to our findings of a 15.64% reduction VAT crosssectional area on the treated abdomen compared to that in the control abdomen (1.2 cm 2 , 3.6%).…”

Cryolipolysis-induced abdominal fat change: Split-body trials

Cryolipolysis has been considered as a noninvasive alternative to surgical procedures for reducing subcutaneous fat without affecting the surrounding tissues. However, no clinical trial has investigated changes in the abdominal fat tissue by 12 weeks after cryolipolysis. Therefore, in this split-body trial, we explored whether a single session of unilateral cryolipolysis could change visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue over a period of 12 weeks. We compared the cross-sectional areas of the abdominal adipose tissue of 15 subjects (9 women; 38.3 [10.8] years) by computed tomography before and at 12 weeks after a single treatment of cryolipolysis to the left abdomen and used the right abdomen as untreated control. In addition, we measured participants’ waist circumference, percentage of body fat (by bioelectrical impedance analysis) at baseline and at 6- and 12-weeks post-treatment. Single unilateral cryolipolysis tended to reduce the cross-sectional areas of visceral adipose tissue, by 8.4 cm2 (9.9%), the waist circumferences, and the percent body fat, by 2.8 cm2 (0.6%), overall. The cross-sectional area of visceral adipose tissues on the treated side significantly decreased, by 6.8 cm2 (15.6%; P = 0.003), and that of the untreated side tended to decrease by 1.2 cm2 (3.6%). Thus, a single unilateral session of noninvasive selective cryolipolysis can be considered as a safe and effective treatment for reduction of visceral adipose tissue over a period of 12 weeks, which should result in metabolic improvement.

“…The durability of the effectiveness of cryolipolysis has been demonstrated by Eric, who reported in his article, the case study of two patients who were managed unilaterally by cryolipolysis on one flank and followed up photographically after 6 and 9 years, the fat reduction of the treated flank was observed to be durable despite variations in body weight (Bernstein, 2016). There is no proof that the fat cells lost and destructed by intense cold exposure could redevelop again (Lee & Lee, 2018).…”

“…It has been suggested that a protruding suprapubic fat slopes with age and exaggerate obesity. When it invades the penis, it can initiate bacterial and fungal growth with subsequent chronic infection and scar development that may progress to a completely buried penis (Lee & Lee, 2018).…”

Increase apparent penile length by cryolipolysis in the reduction of male suprapubic fat

et al. 2021

The buried or hidden penis in adults is troublesome in males, whereas the length of the penile shaft is buried under the skin surface of the suprapubic fat to a degree that reveals the concept of a little penis. We aimed to assess a new modality of treatment to increase the apparent penile length by using the cryolipolysis in the reduction of male suprapubic fat as a noninvasive procedure. This prospective study was performed on 46 male patients complaining of buried short apparent small size penis. All patients were subjected to full medical history, body mass index and examination of penile (length, size and abnormalities). The measures of the apparent penile length from the skin to the tip of the glans penis and suprapubic skin fold thickness using (adipometer) were recorded before the three consecutive suprapubic cryolipolysis sessions. The mean apparent stretched penile length at session 1, 2 and 3 were 12.1 ± 0.5 cm, 12.66 ± 0.48 and 12.88 ± 0.72, respectively, with a statistically significant increase between three sessions (p < .001), whereas the mean skin fold suprapubic fat at session 1, 2 and 3 was 2.99 ± 0.49 cm, 2.37 ± 0.48 and 2 ± 0.37, respectively, with a statistically significant decrease (p < .001). The cryolipolysis of suprapubic fat is a safe, effective, noninvasive and applicable procedure that successfully decreases the suprapubic fat in males and increases the apparent length of the buried penises.
