Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia after Cool Sculpting?

atlcharm
Cool Sculpting ruined my body, where the machine was is now bigger and hard. I had it over 6 months ago. I suspect I have PAH. are their any fixes for this? I thought to lose weight, but I would think the same shape (protruding upper abdomen caused by Zeltiq machine) would still be there just on a smaller scale. Also, I'm at a optimal weight, it is not realistic for me to maintain a small weight to fix this. What can be done, short of invasive surgery. I'm so upset.
