Use two small Cool Sculpting adapters or one large adapter for treatment of stomach? (photo)

elizababa
I am scheduled to have this treatment on Monday. The doctor recommended we use two smaller adapters for my flanks; but instead of the single large adapter for my stomach, he is recommending two small ones - one for each pooch of fat below my belly button. Is there a risk of over-treating where the two small ones on the belly overlap? Or is there a risk of unevenness? Would the doctors here recommend the single large adapter, or the two small ones, like my doctor suggests?
