Coolsculpting Lower Abs and Flanks 3/13 - Maryland

I think it has worked with my lower abs but not so much with my flanks. I would say worth it for lower abs and not worth it for flanks. I would also say what someone else said and don't expect miracles. This is week 9 and there is a difference but I don't even know if I would say 20%. I did not lose a size in my jeans. They do fit a bit better but for a point of reference I was a size 26/27 and still that size depending on the jeans.

I had my lower abs done 8 days ago. I'm not even going to start really looking for something different until mid June. But I think your lower abs really did change!

Vixstew - thank you. I definitely think the lower abs worked. I would put worth it except I don't think the flanks worked. I wish I could put worth it for abs but not for flanks.

I had my lower abdomen done to help out a local doctor with his promotion. Being in radio they wanted someone who would draw a crowd. I did a live demonstration and handled the actual procedure well...until they pushed the "cooled/frozen" slab back in to my stomach. I had severe cramps, passed out unexpectedly and was unable to work for 2 days because of the bruising and swelling. I am 5'4" and not even remotely overweight. I didn't have much of a pooch so the doctor said it would be perfect. I now have a protruding stomach that constantly looks swollen and is at least twice the size it was before. Also, within 2 weeks of the procedure I began having severe GYN problems that led to minor surgery in February. Not sure if the two are related but I do know I look far worse than I did before this procedure.

Radio Carol - that does not sound good at all. I went to a plastic surgeon. Was this person certified?

He is certified and what I'm most upset about, besides the "results", is that I was never told until right before they massaged the area back into my body, that they would be doing it. The representative from the Coolsculpting company stuck her head around the corner and said, "This is the part I didn't like." I didn't even realize I was going to have this frozen area sticking out, nor did I know it would be shoved back in. I passed out in front of the hospital VP of Admin, the nurses, doctor, my boss and one or two other people. Very embarassing and extremely painful.

WoW! I look like you....if I can get the final result with my abs (not necessarily flanks) I would be SUPER HAPPY! I'm going for a consultation tomorrow.

I am seeing changes now. My stomach is the flattest I have seen in a long time. Haven't noticed a real difference in flanks (tiny difference in left but not right). It's been 4 weeks exactly today. Hoping to see more and more changes. I am slow to say worth it right now b/c it was so expensive. If I had paid less like others had I would probably say worth it but I think I need to notice more of a difference (say go down one size in pants) to say worth it.
