Abstract

Background: Clinical obesity is common worldwide. Women often have 
increased adiposity and weight postnatally. This increases the risk of obesity, 
which contributes to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Cryolipolysis can 
effectively reduce this adiposity in a noninvasive and safe way, but it needs more 
research. Purpose: To determine the effect of cryolipolysis on postnatal obesity. 
Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 60 primipara women with 
postnatal obesity. Their ages were between 25 and 35 years, while their BMI was 
between 30 and 35 kg/m2. Participants were selected from a care clinic in Cairo, 
Egypt. Participants were randomly distributed into two equal groups: Group A 
(study) received cryolipolysis and a diet with low calories, while Group B 
(control) received only a diet with low calories. All women in both groups were 
assessed by in-body and tape measurements to assess BMI, percentile body fat, 
and waist height ratio. Results: The scores of waist height ratio, BMI, and 
percentile body fat decreased significantly only in group A. Conclusion: 
Cryolipolysis is an effective method for reducing local adipose tissue in postnatal 
women
