Shelfing on abdomen from CoolSculpting after 5 months, is this extra skin or fat? (Photos)

CoolSculpting is quite effective but it's not as simple as slapping an applicator on the belly and pushing a button. I examine each of my patients in consultation and if they are a candidate for CoolSculpting I mark out where the applicators should go. Some patients need the older smaller applicators and some can fit the new CoolAdvantage larger applicators, while some patients get both of these applicators depending on their shape and which  applicator fits the best.  While it's the rare patient that needs one applicator, most have several, up to six for the belly. The sculpting process can involve two to three treatments, two months apart, and for rare individuals who are good candidates to begin with, may even need more. I would favor a few CoolSculptings before switching to a different modality such as SculpSure or UltraShape. One should allow the good treatment of CoolSculpting to be given its chance.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs

Hello, Thank you for your question and picture. Based on what can be seen here it appears you may just need another round of Coolsculpting. As long as the fat is pinchable, you should be able to reduce that area pretty simply. Best of luck! 

In my opinion you could still benefit from a lower V pattern to correct or continue improvement on your abdomen. I would make sure you have a great experienced provider that knows how to avoid this situation and make it better. I would also recommend that you have the cool advantage applicator. Best of Luck!
