Lumpy Coolsculpting results, how is this fixed? (photos)

Question

I ended up with a lumpy uneven stomach after first procedure done 12 weeks ago. I also lost 5lbs since the procedure. Was told a 2nd one would even it out. I have 2 defined lumps on my lower abdomen. I'm 5'1 113lbs and in good shape, just needed a spot treatment. I don't want to spend anymore money on this as I only wanted one treatment - 4 small applicators to my abdomen. What is the protocol for an unhappy client who's with lumpy results? Are there alternate options?

I treat this many times a week with vaser liposuction.  I suggest you see a body shaping expert who does a lot of revision body contouring treatments.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Coolsculpting treatment results are
optimal at 1 – 3 months.  Before this
time there is typically some swelling and as the tissue recovers there maybe
the appearance of some unevenness which should dissipate over time.  If there is persistent lumpiness I would
notify your coolsculpting provider.

This is not a common problem. It is interesting that it doesn't happen more often because the treatment is only affecting the area in the handpiece. I think that Vanquish would be a great solution to this problem because it treats a wide area all at once. Protocols are different in every office. Discuss with your doctor to come up with an mutually agreeable solution. Perhaps a larger handpiece would have be better for your case.

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your results.  Typically it requires more than one treatment to obtain the optimal outcome.  With that being said, if you are unhappy with the results I would inquire with the practitioner as to their policy.  In most cases the money spent on the Coolsculpting can be applied towards the cost of liposuction.Best wishes,
