CoolSculpting - Lower Abdomen - East Syracuse, NY

UPDATED FROM Parkay

Disgusted with the way I look!

It's now been 10 weeks since I had coolsculpting done and I am regretting having had it done with every passing day. My stomach is so noticeably larger now that I have had to start buying a new wardrobe! No more tank tops or anything form- fitting. I can't believe I did this to my body. I am discouraged, disappointed and disgusted. I had no clue this was even a possibility...I would have been ok with it not working at all. Btw- no change in diet/exercise and I drink approx one gallon of water a day.

How did this all turn out. You before pics are pretty remarkable. Hard to believe you did not think you looked great. Hope you are feeling good about this now.

Disappointed! 9 1/2 weeks & abdomen looks bigger!

Well....I've still been trying to be patient with the whole process, however, at 9 1/2 weeks, my lower abdomen appears larger than it was before the procedure. I haven't changed anything in my diet or exercise routine and my stomach now feels like a big wad of mush & I look like I'm 4 mos pregnant. The most disappointing part is the fact that I can no longer "suck it in" when I'm standing so I can't even pretend I don't have a pooch!!!

4weeks...nothing yet

I am now four weeks out from having my lower abs done and am not seeing any results yet. Good thing I have patience! Still have a little numbness in the area, but that is to be expected from what I have read. Hoping to see a change in the coming weeks.

Give it a total of 4 months for final results & don't expect a whole lot. I had my tummy done 4x, upper & lower.

I'm trying to be patient...as much as I can. :) I do wonder though...many of the posters mentioned being seated/reclined when having the device put on. Yet, where I went, they did it while I was standing up. Is that odd?

I guess I missed this post. Was this a reputable place you went to? Did you feel it sucked in a good amount of skin/fat? Was it almost unbearably cold?

Hi! There are only two places in Central NY that offered it & the one place had absolutely horrible reviews in regards to the staff & cleanliness. When the machine was put on, it looked like a good amount was in there - maybe an inch from the top of the sucker thing. The weird thing is, a lot of people mentioned the feeling of having their breath taken away when it's put on & I was warned about that. It really didn't faze me at all, although there was a good amount of tugging. I couldn't really feel it getting extremely cold, but it DID look like a stick of butter when it was over. Also, it didn't feel like much of anything when she did the massage. I'm not quite sure what to think! All I know is that right now, I definitely look bigger & I hang over my pants. :(
