CoolSculpting: Stories

I had my procedure done on 3 May for lower abs with the medium size applicator. I agree with EVERYTHING about the pain and lack of information. My pain kicked in on Day 4 !! I woke up in the middle of night in pain! Its felt like hot, itchy burning electric twinges. The nurse prescribed Hydrocodon/ Lortab last week for the pain and helped me sleep at night! Ice packs and frozen corn worked during the day.. til I got freezer burn! lol

The swelling and bloating feeling has been massive, I looked like I just left an all you can eat church pancake breakfast. It's gradually decreased about Day 11 and has gradually decreased tremendously. My skin still very tender to the touch and I can't stand to have anything touch my stomach..not even my beloved jersey sheets. Feels kinda abrasive/raw to the touch.. Ice packs help tremendously.

I went back this week cause the pain was unbearable and because my left side is still swollen, more tender and HOT..The doctor inspected my area and said that it wasn't infected, but my body trying to heal itself. But I'm worried about uneven results. I still feel the electric twinges more on the left side, so I'm hoping its killing the rest of the stubborn cells and I see even results after all this is done. I have some photos and will post them and hopefully see progress! But I'll probably do lipo next time cause I get good drugs and instant results!!!
