I had coolsculpting a year ago and was left with 3 rock hard, golf ball size nodules? (Photos)

November 5, 2016
Asked By:tricia billings in Bend, OR

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?
