Uneven Results After Coolsculpting?

I had coolsculpting done on my lower abdomen 4 weeks ago. I am happy to say that I can already see and feel that the fat layer has been reduced. However, it isn't as even as I had hoped. The right side of my belly is a bit larger than the left and a little lumpy. Is this normal and can I expect things to even out?

CoolSculpting Results

Thank you for your question. Since you are only 4 weeks post treatment, you are likely still experiencing swelling and side effects of the treatment. You will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment. I would give your body more time to heal and recuperate, as your final results are not evident yet.

CoolSculpting results

It takes up to four months to see final results from CoolSculpting. perhaps a second treatment to an area adjacent to the uneveness would help smooth things out. I would not advice having another treatment for a minimum of 90 days after most recent treatment of you are experiencing unevenness.

Uneven Results with Coolsculpting

Thank you for your question. I am happy that you see the results with your Coolsculpting procedure. Because you are only 4 weeks post treatment, I would ask that you wait at least 4-6 more weeks to see if things improve. Best wishes.

Uneven results with Coolsculpting

It is not uncommon to notice asymmetric results with Coolsculpting. Typically we advise patients wait at least 3 months to see if both sides catch up. If not, repeating treatments or radiofrequency fat recontouring may be tried.
