The office who treated me did 10 to 15 treatments of Zeltiq, and 6 Vanguish but it did not help with the hard balls. They have offered to retreat with Coolsculpting but I am extremely nervous, and don't want to make things worse. The Dr is not sure what the lumps are, but doesn't think it's the very rare hyperplasia. Is lipo my safest option at this point?

Answer: Nodules after CoolSculpting Dear Tricia billings: Nodules after CoolSculpting are rare but in the last have always resolved without further treatment, and generally quickly. I suggest that you avoid any further treatments until these resolve. You might consider asking your doctor to have someone from Zeltiq evaluate you as well. All the best, Dr. Clark

Answer: Persistent hard lumps after CoolSculpting It is possible that you are describing paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), a rare complication of cryolipolysis (0.0051% incidence in one study). If that is the case, further CoolSculpting is not recommended. I would recommend evaluation by an expert who can confidently diagnose your condition. PAH does not resolve on its own and liposuction (e.g. ultrasound-assisted VASERlipo) has been shown to be an effective treatment.
