The number of noninvasive body-contouring procedures performed in the United States increased by fivefold from 2011 to 2019, attributed in part to a combination of improved technology and new medical devices, as well as a"cosmetically savvy consumer base heavily influenced by social media," wrote Young Lim, MD, PhD, of the department of dermatology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and coauthors.
The researchers used the MAUDE database to identify and highlight adverse events associated with noninvasive body contouring technology in order to improve patient safety and satisfaction., they analyzed 723 medical device reports reported between 2015 and 2021: 660 for noninvasive body contouring, 55 for cellulite treatments, and 8 for muscle stimulation.
Overall, paradoxical hyperplasia accounted for the majority of adverse reactions in the noninvasive body-contouring category . In PAH, patients develop additional adipose tissue in areas treated with cryolipolysis. In this study, all reports of PAH as well as all 47 reported cases of abdominal hernias were attributed to the CoolSculpting device.
