After Coolsculpting, I Have a Rock Hard Lump??

August 3, 2013
Asked By:Jeepers

I had Coolsculpting done on my abdomen 10 days ago. On day 4, I noticed a hard lump near my belly button (on the left side only). I called my technician that performed the procedure and she said it was necrosis of the fat and it was fine. I am now on day 10 and the hard lump has grown a little. I am wondering if this is normal? Will this go away or is this going to stay a permanent lump there?? What can I do to help it??
