Can I fly on an international flight the day after CoolSculpting and is the procedure safe for the back fat area?

September 24, 2015
Asked By:chellmc in East Alton, IL

I'm at a wellness resort in SE Asia for a few weeks and returning to Australia. I had Vanquish in my first week and have big, hard lumps in my abdomen, red angry patches of skin and quite a bit of pain. Now they are offering cool sculpting but I'm worried about going ahead especially if we can't refer back to the treating doctor because we will be in another country.
