I recommend waiting 12 weeks post a CoolSculpting treatment to reassess the area and determine if a second treatment is needed. The treated area reduces gradually over time, so you need to give it time. This way you ensure the most natural looking results.
What you are experiencing is completely normal. The length of time people experience numbness after CoolSculpting varies. One of our staff members felt numbness under her chin for 4 weeks and then it resolved to normal sensation. If you have any concerns, call the practice where you had your treatment.
CoolSculpting is an ideal non-invasive treatment option to reduce the volume of the outer thigh/"saddlebag" area. You may need 2 treatments. I recommend you having a consultation in person with a certified CoolSculpting practice in your area. Also, be patient with seeing results because it may take a full 8 weeks to begin to see an improvement.Good Luck!
Based on your photos, I recommend you have a consultation with a plastic surgeon in person. CoolSculpting won't improve loose skin.
Yes, temporary swelling is completely normal in any area that has had a CoolSculpting treatment. It can last for a few weeks. Of course the degree of swelling and the time it takes to resolve will vary person to person.
