10 Days out from Coolsculpting, Swollen? (photo)

I am now 10 days out from a CoolSculpting procedure on my lower abdomen. I have tried on pants and am not noticing ANY change. Still a fat roll over the top of the pants. I did not have any pain following the treatment, only noticeable swelling Day 1 and 2. I work out 5-6 days a week and eat a fairly sensible diet, drink alot of H20. Getting a little worried that the fat roll isnt going anywhere. Help!

Be patient after Coolsculpting

Typically you will not see results from Coolsculpting until week 4-6 and then will continue through 2-4 months. Most candidates respond consistently.

How long does it take to see results from CoolSculpting?

There are some patients who will see results as early as three weeks but the majority of patients will see the most dramatic results somewhere between the 2nd to 4th month after the procedure. Don't despair, it takes time.

CoolSculpting Results

Since CoolSculpting freezes the fat, the fat cells die, and your body discharges the dead cells it's not a quick process. Typically our patients start seeing results 4-8 weeks after the treatment. Once you start seeing results, the results will continue to improve up to about 6 months.
