I had the Cool Sculpting procedure done one week ago. Finally all the feeling has come back in my tummy. Procedure wasn't painful (uncomfortable yes) but afterwards the area felt like I had novacaine for days then started itching. I'm hopeful now that the results will be worth the money!

After 2 weeks all of the feeling is back in my tummy but the itching persists - lotion does help. Area no longer feels like a rock but is becoming more normal. All of the bruising is gone.

My procedure was 4 weeks ago and FINALLY I'm seeing results! First week was swollen, very little feeling and stomach was rock hard. Second week skin was tender, still swollen. Third week I thought the itching would drive me mad. What seemed like overnight this week all the itching is gone and a pair of pants that were snug before the procedure fit perfectly. I feel the little stomach pouch I had is quickly going down now. My doctor will check results at 8 weeks but warned that it can take 16 weeks to see full results. I'm pumped now and would do it all over again. Procedure was uncomfortable as was a couple of weeks there but nothing that kept me from going on with normal daily routine. I'm hopeful for even more results in the next few weeks!

It's been 6 weeks since my CoolSculpting procedure. I am 58 years old, 5'3" and 130 lbs. I lost 60 lbs 5 years ago which left me with a tummy bulge I hated. After 6 weeks I have noticed significant results in the flatness of my tummy. I go back for measurements at 8 weeks and an ultrasound to see how much the fat layer has reduced. If maximum results are achieved in 16 weeks I will be extremely happy with the results! Any minor discomfort immediatley following the procedure and a few weeks out will be worth it!

Went in for my 8 week checkup. I felt that my abdomen had gone down some but until I really saw the pictues I did not realize how much! My fat level was down half from where I started. Dr. said the reduction will continue on for a few more weeks. I'm very happy with what I had done and now considering going back for the love handles.

Great review?

Will do! Thanks so much.

Office Manager 8 May 2012

Kremmy - I only had one area done on my tummy - right above the bellybutton. The area was hard and swollen for about 2 weeks or so then the itching starts for a couple of weeks. About 4 weeks out you should notice how soft the area is becoming and then you will notice results. Hang in there, it's worth it. Rub lots of lotion on it. Does help. Let us know your progress. Good luck!

I'm 5 days in. I had mine done in 3 places on my belly. I'm in a lot of pain and very swollen. My belly is rock hard and I'm having a lot of the bee stings. I'm taking advil and using ice on belly. Will this really go away soon. I"m going nuts! I hope the final results will be worth it.

I can see a difference, however the before and after pics are disingenuous. The before pics was taken with cool lighting and the after with more warm lighting thus creating a tan effect. Tan always makes one look slimmer so you should question your doctors office why they changed the lighting.

Office Manager, I'm so glad to hear the good news. I'm going tomorrow to get rid of my belly fat. I'm 5'1" and 115 pounds and 52 years old. Can't believe I carry 3 pounds of fat with me for 27 years, but people like you motivated me so much. Thank you!

Office Manager 2 May 2012

Goodl Luck SoutherenBell! I'm waiting now for a machine that will tighten skin! Hahahaha!

MarAlar 2 May 2012

Wow! There is a big difference.

beautydebbie 26 Mar 2012

Good news it is week beginning of week 8 and I finally noticed some results. I did not see any at week six, but week 7 - 8 I see a little difference. Nothing dramatic, but at least some results:) About an inch off my waist overall!

Office Manager 26 Mar 2012

Good Luck redneony!!! On a scale of 1 - 10 I would say my discomfort the first two weeks was 4-5 but not really pain. I hope you have good results! If you have not been there before - they are a great group of people!!

redneony 19 Apr 2012

Got it done -- I really didn't have too many problems. I'd gladly do it again.

Office Manager 19 Apr 2012

Hope you have great results redneony! I am on week 7 and seeing slight results. My pants feel looser in the waistline. I go back next week for the ultrasound to see how much of the fat layer has reduced. Dr J told me most results are not seen for about 3-4 months. Still hopeful for more!

redneony 26 Mar 2012

I'm getting this done with Dr. Jimenez next month... I'm really really scared it's going to hurt afterwards the way everyone is talking like it will. It doesn't seem that you experienced the excrutiating pain that some have faced... I hope this is true for me as well! I'M REALLY SCARED. :P

Glad you're starting to see results, hopefully they will just continue to get better!

beautydebbie 16 Mar 2012

It has been 6 weeks for me with no results so far.

Kirsty at RealSelf (Community Manager) 26 Mar 2012

Beautydebbie, do you have any follow-up with your provider booked? I know it can take a while for results to show but maybe you could find out what their expectations of your results at this stage are.

Kirsty at RealSelf (Community Manager) 12 Mar 2012

Have you been able to see any results yet?

Office Manager 12 Mar 2012

No nothing yet. I guess it takes 6-8 weeks to start really seeing results.

Kirsty at RealSelf (Community Manager) 12 Mar 2012

Just a few more weeks then! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Kirsty at RealSelf (Community Manager) 8 Mar 2012

Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Please keep us posted on your progress and results!
