shesellsseashells Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 This is frivolous in the grand scheme of things, but here goes: I've been working on losing weight, but still have a ways to go. I hate my huge belly that does not seem to decrease proportionally and wondered if cool sculpting could reduce it a bit. I made an appointment for a couple of weeks from now with a firm my OB/GYN's office recommended. I would be very interested to hear about others' experiences with this treatment. Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marking wouldn't bother me (that's typical of any type of surgery) but the pain during and after the procedure are worrisome, along with the ibuprofen ban. I'll be sure to bring those topics up at my consultation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shesellsseashells Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 My concerns re: CoolSculpting were addressed to my satisfaction. I had my tummy and under my chin treated on Wednesday. I had expected pain but it was not painful. The session lasted for about three hours. The treatment under my chin was uncomfortable but not too bad. It took 90 minutes for the chin procedures alone. I have an appointment the end of this month to have another round of chin treatment. My tummy was a bit sore afterwards, as if I'd been working my abs. The soreness is dissipating. My chin is still swollen and painful to the touch, but that's supposed to go away. Results should start to show between 1-3 months. I'll report back when I start to see results in case anyone is interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still swollen up a bit. I'll let you know in a couple of months when I see results. No results on the tummy yet, but it's only been six weeks, and results can take three months to show. I'll keep you updated in case you or other folks are interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shesellsseashells Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 @Antecedent It has been 4 months since I had my tummy and first chin session, and I just went in for my "after" pictures. In my experience, CoolSculpting was a waste of money. I wanted most to decrease the size of my tummy, but have not seen ANY results after 4 months and 1 treatment. I had 2 treatments on my chin, which has decreased slightly. The esthetician I saw called me a "poor responder" and said that in her opinion another treatment would not improve the tummy outcome. I initially made another appointment for my chin, but then cancelled it. The change wasn't THAT great and I will probably lose my double chin more as I lose weight (fingers crossed). I'm really disappointed and wish I had not spent $3,270! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antecedent Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Uff! "poor responder", yeah right! sounds like they are pinning it on you and not on their crappy treatment! I should have known it was too good to be true, oh well! I'm so sorry it didn't work out! Crossing my fingers with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
