So, today is exactly 2 months (8 weeks) since the zeltiq procedure. I do not see a single ounce of difference. can anyone? (only the right side was treated)

Do you have a before pic? The reason I ask is b/c My left love handle is bigger than my right love handle so it could've shrunk and be even.

well they took a "before" pic at the doc office but i never got or saw the pics. also, b/c i had only 1 side treated you have the before pic in the current pics because one side was not treated. does that make sense?

Thanks for sharing, to be honest its really hard to tell from your pictures. It would've been better if you had someone take a before pic and a after picture in the same pose/lighting. I had sides and front done and going into my second week since having it done. I have not seen much of a difference thus far, but I am optimistic. The office took before pictures in 4 different angles, so in three months they will do it again and I will truly see if there is a change. I don't believe they would do that if they didn't strongly feel I would see changes. Time will tell

Hi, well the office did take many before pics but i never saw them and no one has yet called me to follow up (2 months later). All I can say is the 2 sides look exactly the same (1 was not treated), so unless somehow the untreated side also shrunk (I dont know how that would be possible, unless someone can explain that to me), there has been no effect at all. I guess I'll call the office in the next few weeks to ask them.

I definitely understand what you are saying. Not saying it worked for you but a lot of time our flanks are uneven (one bigger than other) so I am just not sure. Hopefully you will see a change soon. It takes sometimes 3-4 months.

5 week mark--update:
1. visually--the treated area looks exactly the same as the untreated area. i do not see any change. huge bummer.
2. feeling--the treated love handle still feels periodically tight, bloated, swollen. all of this varies from day to day. i'm hoping this means something is going on where my body is trying to eliminate the fat, but who knows.

I'm day 5 after doing my flanks, and a similar situation where I work run/crosstrain/etc and couldnt get rid of those stubborn things. The recovery sucks right now, like you described, with bad redness (I'm afraid I may have frostbite!!), hard lumps, swelling, and itching like I feel i'm jumping out of my skin. All of this for a procedure that may not even work - so I really hope you'll say you're happy with your results!! thanks!
At this point I just want time to pass so I can at least go back down to 'normal'.
I'd definitely be bummed if this doesn't work after couple months, and I'm concerned the red/lumpy/swollen side effects won't resolve. Well good luck & thanks!
