Not Loving the Post Procedure Recovery Period - Clearwater, FL

I have stubborn fat in my abdomen that was not going anywhere with diet and exercise (I always had a little layer of insulation that I was comfortable with but as I have gotten older it has gotten thicker and thicker). After much deliberation I decided to try CoolSculpting being it was reported to be non-invasive and have good results. I liked the idea you could go back to regular activity almost immediately after the procedure. I had it done yesterday and it all seemed to go well. Day 1 post procedure and I am hating it! My abdomen is so swollen it is twice the size it was before the procedure. I am bruised around my belly button but I was expecting that so I'm not too bothered by it. My lower abdomen is completely numb and when something presses against it I jump out of my skin (it doesn't hurt, it just startles me because it feels so unnatural). Yes, I know it is the first day after the procedure, and yes, I know all of these symptoms are normal but I guess I wanted to be one of those lucky people who have no problems after a procedure like this but for me that never seems to be the case. "Pain is beauty" is the expression I keep telling myself. I will be posting on this throughout my recovery so hopefully in a few month's time you will be hearing about how flat and sculpted my abdomen is and how happy I am with the results. Stay tuned....

Play catch up. It was uncomfortable and unnatural feeling but I can truly say I see results. I do not see results in all areas but I do understand the courser dat is harder to break down than the wobbly flimsy fat and that's where I really saw results- in the wobbly fat. I plan to go back to round two when I save money-as it is expensive!
