Cool Sculpting Flanks - Are the Swelling/after Symptoms the Same As the Lower Abs?

June 24, 2012
Asked By:Vixstew in Glen Allen, VA

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!
