Ibuprofen After CoolSculpting Treatment. Did I Damage My Results?

July 12, 2012
Asked By:les7981 in Fayetteville, NC

I had coolsculpting on Tuesday 7/10/12, was never instructed not to take antinflamatory. I took ibuprofen from Tues after to Wednesday evening every 6 hrs just in case of pain. I quit taking it because I read several websites that stated you should stay clear if antinflamatory drugs for two months!! I read it can effect the process of fat cells dying. Do you think I have messed up?? I am really upset I was notified of this. I also was not massaged afterwards.
