I had cool sculpting to upper & lower abdomen 3 weeks ago and don't notice any change, despite working out & very healthy eating. (height 5'5", weight 141lbs procedure day, now 137). I understand it takes up to 3-4 months to see change with cool sculpting but after 5 weeks of eating well & exercising daily, I expected to at least notice a difference (as I would have prior to this procedure). Is this normal? I feel like I wasted my money and should have used it towards liposuction.

Answer: No Change After CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting Takes Time: Eat Well and Exercise Most people do not notice any real changes with CoolSculpting for about three to four months. Three weeks is too soon to worry about your results. During your procedure, fat cells in the treated areas were frozen and sent into a slow-death cycle that involves the cells destructing, macrophages consuming cellular debris, and the lymph system eliminating the dead cells through the urine. It's a long process, and you must be patient. Weight loss through diet and exercise also takes time, but the results of all of these are worth the wait. Please consult your board-certified dermatologist after three to four months if you don't start seeing an improvement.

Answer: No Change after Coolsculpting CoolSculpting is a great, FDA-approved treatment for fat reduction of the abdomen. Patients in our office have seen an average fat reduction of 20-25% with each treatment. Depending on the patient's body composition and outcome goals, it may take more than one treatment to achieve optimal results. It takes about 2-3 months to get a general idea of the final results. The results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable healthy lifestyle. Tweet
