I was having a procedure done on my stomach and noticed something sticking out of the side. I played around with it and it came out... it was the 'coolcard' I put it back in immediately! This was done half way during the treatment... will this have affected the procedure? Also, just curious.... Was wondering what the numbers on the machine are?

Coolsculpting treatment results are

Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to have delayed onset pain after Coolsculpting. There is a prescription medication that can help such as Neurontin. I recommend having a follow up with your treating physician for an evaluation. Best of Luck!
