None of the doctors I spoke with told me how excruciatingly painful the recovery is. Everyone talks about the 'mild discomfort' for the first 10 minutes of the procedure till you get numb. Yeah but guess what, when you get un-numb after 3 days, your nerves have gone haywire and are firing off at random. yesterday, I woke up in the middle of the night howling in pain. It's non-stop stabbing w...

I am on Day 15 of having 1 large applicator and 4 small ones placed on lower and upper abdominals. I'm 5 ft 3 and 12 5 lbs I have a tummy leftover from childrenI'm absolutely miserable still. The excruciating, shooting and burning nerve pains are unbearable. The only thing that helps is ice. I have to have it at at all times or I feel like I may throw up or jump out of my skin from the pain. ...
Before1) Check that you’re a good candidate CoolSculpting is not a weight loss tool, so you should be close to your ideal weight before having the procedure. If you still have some weight to lose, wait it out. “Think of it more of, pardon the expression, the icing on the cake of your weight loss,” says Dr. Grant Stevens, an LA-based plastic surgeon. “CoolSculpting will help closer to the end ...
Kybella has been taking the chin fat reduction market by storm since becoming FDA approved earlier this year, claiming less downtime and expense than chin liposuction. Many reviews on RealSelf are currently chronicling what to expect from Kybella; most notably that the downtime is more than anticipated thanks to extreme swelling immediately post-injection, and residual hardness and...

I'm getting worried it won't work for me.
I'm especially interested to hear from those who've had the abdomen area done since I've heard that's one of the most painful areas as far as recovery goes. I know post procedural pain can vary greatly from person to person, but I'm just wondering what the general response will be. I'm thinking about having my lower/mid abdomen done, but I'm really scared of the pain! I know it isn't exactly...
I would like everyone to know that yes cool sculpting can cause fainting. I will be reporting it to the FDA. I passed out yesterday during the orocedure of having it done on my abdomen and outer arms concurrently. It had to be removed from my abdomen. I overheated, turned white, passed out, (threw up at some point) and came to with smelling salts. I lost control of all bodily functions. This...
Hello,I had 4 sessions of CoolSculpting yesterday. Love handles, 2 each side, total of 2 hours. I have the normal symptoms which are tolerable. I also however am now urinating at a frequency of every 2 hours - it has come down from every 30 minutes. I understand that the body is expelling now dead fat cells, but is this common, and this soon? This wasn't in any of the after effects literature,...
I did this procedure just over three weeks ago. I was told by two employees/nurses during my consultation that there would be practically NO pain, NO downtime, NO side effects. The truth is I ended up living thru the absolute worst pain of my life from day 4 post procedure for 2 full weeks. I took 2 different pain killers (that I had left from my c sections), all the aleve, Tylenol, Advil...
Hi everyone! I thought I'd share my experience with Coolsculpt since I may be a unique case someone can possibly relate to. I have also devised a logical theory in regards to my personal experience with the procedure from speaking to my physician friends and colleagues following my intense nerve pain from the procedure five days after the initial application (like shards of...
Have been researching CoolSculpting as an option for me, but sadly, I have not seen even one 'before & after' that shows any evidence of this procedure working. I'm glad so many photo's have been posted, because it made my decision so much easier. CoolScultpting does nothing (in my opinion) - and in the time it takes see what 'they' call 'good results', I'd be better off doing a daily...
Hi! I went to have coolsculpting done and the spa is charging me $1500 per applicator; a total of 6,000 for 4 on my abdomen. I feel like they over charged me since they had a 50% off deal so they could make more money. Is this a standard price?
I had coolsculpting treatment on my flanks and abdomen on early 2020 and was recently diagnosed with PAH. Is there anyone in the Montreal, QC area who has been successfully treated for this! Thanks in advance!
Look ladies everyone is different. Pain wise, shape wise, everything! I had cool sculpting done on chin, auxiliary puffs, upper back and I was so scared to get the procedure done because I read all these crazy ridiculous reviews. Pretty much saying that it felt like being stabbed with hot knives and their body was on fire...I ve had lipo, laser hair removal, I am tattooed. This was a complete...
