3 months post last treatment
I think I got my usual result. it's now Feb 2 and there's definitely been a reduction in the treated areas. I can tell because I had been trialling corsets and shapewear for under my wedding dress. Before the CS, I had major muffin top under my arms and my back and now, there's very little. I still want to treat a few more areas but that'll have to wait until later this year when all these wedding expenses pass.
6 weeks post last treatment
So it's been 6 weeks since I had 3 more treatments, 2 on my upper flanks/back and 1 on a stubborn spot over my navel on my left side that had 2 previous treatments. Usually with CoolSculpting I find it looks no different until exactly the 2 month mark, so I still have a few weeks to go in that regard. But I think it's already made a difference. It feels and looks like there's been some reduction. I will keep watching it. The two month mark will be Christmas Day, so here's to hoping Santa brings me a skinnier body.
Cool Sculpting - 3 years later
Hi all. I obviously haven't been on here in a few years but wanted to update my older posts. After my lower abdomen session, it finally settled down - IMMENSELY. my lower abdomen went flatter than it's been since I was a teenager. I was loving it. Except that because I didn't treat the area over my belly button, it had a weird hang over muffin top. It was so weird, like a wall shelf. So I had that bit done and that smoothed that out. Then I had a variety of sessions around the rest of my flanks and a few touch ups to the abdomen. For about 2.5 years, I had the body of a 20 year old again. I was loving it. Everything was fitting me and I was wearing clothes I couldn't have dreamed of before. I was feeling really good about my body.
Now, 3 years later, my middle has puffed out to the biggest it's ever been and is super flabby and misshapen. I'm 43 and had an extremely stressful year with a divorce and change to a really stressful desk job. So I thought, it's just middle age kicking in. I've been tested for thyroid, hormones, pre-menopause and all of that and it's none of those things. Absolutely none of my clothes fit, not even the ones from before my first ever cool sculpting treatment. And my flab has shifted locations. Perhaps because of the coolsculpting, I don't get it on my lower abdomen now, though that area is solid and puffy now. I get it between my underbust and my navel. So I have like a weird block shape in the middle of my body. If I wear high waisted pants, I end up having a crazy looking muffin top 3-4" higher than it would normally be, closer to my underbust. It looks weird and deformed.
It's depressing the daylights out of me, especially because I'm getting remarried and can fit NOTHING. So I'm on the fence if I should get more cool sculpting. Before venturing into this, I was advised that multiple sessions would be needed on each area and that makes sense if it can only reduce 20-25% at a time. If you want to lose all of the fat in one area, you'd need to do it 4 times by that measure.
In the areas I've had treated, I can't pinch nearly as much fat as I could have before, but now I can pinch heaps in areas were I couldn't before. It's just moved. And I supposed middle age spread is kicking in. I don't know if I should venture it again. I should note both mild & hardcore dieting and working out 3-4 times/week has not helped at all.
Should I or shouldn't I?

Provider Review
my Dr.'s office is great. i've had a number of things, including very complicated facial surgery done by them with great success.
