  I had cool sculpting done on my luv handles 6 days ago. I have had pain of varying degrees everyday. I am fairly fit, but seem to have accumulated fat around my middle that I can't seem to diet or exercise off. I don't generally bruise easily and did bruise quite a bit. I am still numb, have transient itching and dull to moderate pain all the time. I am most frustrated that I seem to be bigger in the treatment areas than before! My skin/fat hangs over my clothes worse than ever!! When will I get back to the pre-op me??? --I know the fat destruction takes 2-3 months, but how long before I will be back to normal? I understand some inflammation is involved, but for how much longer? I wish someone at the doctor's office had mentioned compression...I actually bought a girdle at a vintage store on the 4th day and it really helps with pain while I'm wearing it. I don't wear it more than about 3-4 hours a day, as I am not sure if it will effect my circulation and healing. Can someone comment or answer me on these points?
