Are you more likely to experience the late onset pain with Coolsculpting on your abdomen verses other areas?

Yes, I have found that late onset pain after CoolSculpting is more likely to occur on the abdomen rather than other body areas.  In fact, I do not believe I have had any patient treated with CoolSculpting have late onset pain anywhere but the abdomen.    

In my practice we have not had any late onset pain except for abdominal treatments. We have done approximately 2500 treatments to date since having the machines and have had about a dozen clients with this issue. It is improved with time (3-4 weeks max), compression, icing, tylenol/motrin and in rare cases lidocaine patches or neurotin. Best of Luck. 

Yes, patients are more likely to experience late onset pain to the abdominal area about 1 week following their CoolSculpting treatment. The good news is this pain is temporary and will resolve completely in time. I suggest calling your certified CoolSculpting expert to prescribe a medication that can help aid in some relief to the area, such as Neurontin. Good luck!

In our experience, the only area that gets late-onset pain is the abdomen.  It is usually self-limited to two weeks.

Thank you for your question. Yes, it can be more common with abdominal treatments. We do prescribe a medication to help patients with their recovery in case it happens. Regards, 

It is common to have late onset pain in the abdomen after CoolSculpting. Pain, bruising and swelling are potential side effects. I suggest venus legacy treatments and lymphatic massage to help.  Oral neurontin and diuretics can help as well. Best, Dr. Emer
