Asked By:lasdlove in San Diego, California

I’ve read many threads on this site it can be something else. I don’t believe it’s from my having a baby 3yrs ago. My doctor recommended cool sculpting which is. $800 for 2 sessions. I Followed all instructions. I want opinions from other doctors.I honestly think he just doesn’t want to do a revision...should I consider another surgeon? Does it look like a pocket of air? Maybe fluid? It’s soft, doesn’t feel hard or anything. Just annoying the way it looks through tight clothes Please help!
