I had coolsculpting done a little over a week ago so I know I'm still healing. However, I still feel numb in my abdominal area and I'm assuming that it's the dead fat cells waiting to be eliminated. Just wanted to know if that's the case.

Answer: Numbness after CoolSculpting Numbness over the area treated with CoolSculpting is an expected occurrence that lasts 1-3 weeks. The most likely cause is temporary injury to the nerve endings in the skin. There is no correlation between the amount of numbness and treatment effectiveness. Amount of numbness can even vary from one side to the other.

Answer: Paresthesia The sensation you feel is paresthesia (or numbness) from the nerves that were temporarily inflamed during the procedure as well as the lipolysis of the fat cells. The feeling is comparable to a frostbite scenario. This can peak 7-10 days after the procedure and could take 4-6 weeks to dissipate. With time, your sensation should return to normal.
