Cool Sculpting Flanks - Are the Swelling/after Symptoms the Same As the Lower Abs?
I had my lower abs with the small applicator done 6 weeks ago. I am already happy with the results. However, I am thinking about getting my "flanks" done. Have you heard from previous clients that the "after effects" (swelling & such) the same as the lower abs? I want to go ahead & do it, but don't know if I want to wait until the fall if my "sides suddenly" get larger rather than smaller for 3 weeks. Thanks!

CoolSculpting Flanks
Each person does respond differently, so it is possible to have swelling in the area following a CoolSculpting treatment. We have not known of patients in my pratice with excessive, persistent swelling. It is very common that patients elect to have CoolSculpting Complete and treat two areas simultaneously. CoolSculpting Complete also includes vibrational therapy which can help with lymphatic drainage. Enhancing lymphatic drainage can also help with minimizing swelling.

CoolSculpting on the flanks and abdomen
It is possible that you might be more swollen on the flanks for the first few weeks than you were on the abdomen. However, I could say the same in the reverse order if you had your flanks done first.

Swelling/Symptoms after CoolSculpting
Thank you for your question. Since each patient heals differently, it is impossible to determine how much your flanks will swell in comparison to your abdomens. However, generally patients have reported that there is less swelling of the flanks than of the abdomen after CoolSculpting.

Coolsculpting for the Flank Area
Thank you for your question.
From patient feedback that I have received, I have been told that the "tingling" and "numbness" that patients experience when treating the abdominal area is usually minimized when treating the flanks.
Each patient differs with how they recover so plan your treatment according to your summer schedule.
