What Is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia?
Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) is a side effect of cryolipolysis in which fatty tissue grows instead of shrinks. Cryolipolysis is a cryotherapy cosmetic procedure, commonly referred to as CoolSculpting®, that is performed to reduce fatty tissue using extremely cold temperatures in an attempt to freeze and destroy subcutaneous fat cells. Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia occurs when a reactionary process is activated within the fat cells during cell freezing. This causes a natural bodily reaction and for the cells to thicken and expand rather than break down and be eliminated by the body.

What Are Symptoms of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia?
Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia caused by cryotherapy or CoolSculpting® usually leaves the treatment area feeling firm and visibly enlarged. It occurs one out of 2,000 cycles of CoolSculpting®. The shape of the affected area is commonly referred to as a “stick of butter,” which resembles the shape of the CoolSculpting® treatment applicator. Symptoms typically begin to appear between eight to 24 weeks post-treatment.
How Is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia Treated?
Surgeons are still studying the best treatment options for this rare condition, as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia will not go away without treatment. BEYOND Collective performs power-assisted liposuction to treat paradoxical adipose hyperplasia in Nashville. However, patients usually have to wait between six to nine months for the affected area to soften so the remaining fat can be removed safely and prevent further paradoxical adipose hyperplasia from occurring.
Power-assisted liposuction is an in-office procedure performed under general anesthesia. It utilizes a specialized cannula with a vibrating tip. The vibration helps to break up dense fatty deposits so they can be easily suctioned away via the cannula, leaving your body with smooth, slim contours. BEYOND Collective does not perform cryotherapy procedures, but they do treat patients who underwent such treatments at another MedSpa and developed paradoxical adipose hyperplasia.
