Each patient varies but best results are typically seen 3 months after treatment. Initially it is normal to have swelling/bloating to the the area due to the inflammation of fat cell death. Your body will naturally eliminate the dead cells & each person does so at a different rate. We schedule all our CoolSculpting patient for a followup consultation 1 month post treatment. At this point patients are typically able to see results when comparing 1 month photos to their before photos.
It all will depend on which area of the abdomen you are CoolSculpting. Women tend to have 3 abdominal areas: lower, mid, & upper. The upper is very close to the under breast area & should be avoid for at least a month after surgery. Otherwise you are safe to proceed with CoolSculpting anytime!
I would not initially recommend filler for scarring. Our approach would be a more permanent result using PRP injections, not just microneedling, to rejuvenate the collagen to the area & also Ematrix facial resurfacing. I would not recommend a facelift for acne scarring. Always best to schedule a consultation with your nearest experienced provider.
There are no contraindications to CoolSculpting with an indwelling IUD-no interference at all. CoolSculpting continues to be ranked the #1 non invasive fat reduction procedure in the world-my practice is very proud to offer it & see amazing results.
The CoolSculpting procedure causes fat cell death which leads to inflammation & swelling to the area. It is normal for patients to have residual swelling for weeks, even a couple months after treatment. I would encourage follow up with your local provider.
