Pain after Zeltiq Coolsculpting

The feeling of sharp pain and discomfort following the coolsculpting procedure is normal. This should subside within 1 month. It is recommended for you to wear a compression garment/ girdle to make it more comfortable for you. The reason you are felling more pain after you eat is due to the stomach expanding which is normal. Hypersensativity is common, massaging the area also helps with a moisturizer to speed up your recovery period. more

Pain can happen after coolsclupting

It is not common, but not rare to have some persistent pain when treating the abdomen. This will subside and can usually be treated with ibuprofen. Were you thin to begin with? Some people believe the risk for post-procedural pain is greater in thinner people. On the other hand, pain with eating is not something I can explain from coolsclupting and I believe may be unrelated.

Pain and Tingling after CoolSculpting

Thank you for your question. Patients may experience the pain and tingling that you are describing (usually not specific to only after eating). These will subside with time (usually 2-3 weeks) and no action is needed. You may want to take some over the counter pain medication for relief. Best Wishes! see video

Tingling and pain can occur temporarily after Zeltiq

CoolSculpting does create a significant amount of inflammation in the subcutaneous fatty compartment of tissue underneath the skin. this is how its freezing accomplishes fat reduction, by killing the fat cells and then dissolving them. Why you notice this pain more after eating is unusual and not easily explained. see video

Post operative discomfort following Coolsculpting

I am unaware of pain and tingling being associated with eating following Coolsculpting. It is unlikely. It is possible, however, to have discomfort , tingling, numbness or cramping after Coolsculpting this may last 4-6 weeks in some patients but unrelated to eating.Typically this is well tolerated.
