A: Do it. This is one of our favorite areas to treat with Coolsculpting. Results are not immediate but it should really shrink these areas down in 8-12 weeks.
A: I think you're a a very good candidate for Coolsculpting. It might not "spring" back the skin 100% but I've had some pretty great results in patients like yourself. Try that first...it's much less expensive than Lipo and I think it'll do the trick!
A: Congrats on receiving the vaccine. For every person vaccinated, that's one less "link" in the chain of transmission. So I'm happy you received it. In terms of Coolsculpting, there honestly should be no reason to NOT receive treatment. You might want to wait a couple of days because some people do feel aches and pains after the vaccine so you wouldn't necessarily want to add a treatment when you're not feeling great. But after a few days, I saw go for it!
A: Thanks for your question and sorry you were hurt! Ouch! In 10 days you should have absolutely no problem getting it done. That being said, you should definitely let the person treating you know that you had an injury 10 days prior. But I honestly don’t think it will get in the way!
A: Thanks for your question. A small amount of Botox injected in the right place can flip your upper lip and can give you the results you are looking for.
