Does CoolGlide Vein Removal Treatment Cause Loss of Fat?

I'm a 26 year old Asian female who had broken capillaries on her lower cheeks. Two years ago, I had CoolGlide Vein treatment. The treatment was successful. The veins disappeared completely with minimal side effects.

In the months following the CoolGlide treatment, I noticed my cheeks have become very gaunt. The fat on my cheeks had decreased dramatically. I used to have full cheeks. Now they are sunken in. Two years later, the fat on my face has not return. Could it be the Coolglide?

I just had one small facial vein done yesterday. It disappeared immediately with no bruising, but I was very careful to let the doctor know I bruise easily and didn't want any bruising He did just one vein so I could see the effect. So far so good but I will watch to see if there is any fat loss before proceeding after reading you post. Would like to hear from others who have used the Coolglide..
