I had Cool Sculpting three times. The second time I had it, it actually had the opposite effect - even though I didn't gain any weight. Still, since the first procedure worked, so I thought I'd try a third procedure. It worked for about six months, but my fat has returned in the same area where I've had the procedure done three times - lower abdomen. What the heck is going on? Is this just a temporary fix?

Answer: Coolsculpting Facts about Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia--Add Radiofrequency, Thermage, Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra This is difficult to answer without before and after pictures and needs an in-person evaluation. I recommend getting a formal evaluation for possible paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia is extremely rare, but it can develop a few months after treatment. Most patients who experience this side effect will start to have an enlargement of the treatment area around 3-4 months after their coolsculpting treatment. Liposuction is needed to get improvement. However, keep in mind, most people need more than one treatment of Coolsculpting for results and most often need to have it combined with other treatments, like Vanquish, to get good outcomes. I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Coolsculpting results in a permanent reduction Coolsculpting results in a permanent reduction in the number of fat cells approximately 20-25% with each treatment. However, if you gain weight the remaining fat cells can increase in size. There have been cases of Coolsculpting causing a hardening of the fat cells but this is extremely rare. I encourage you to visit your physician for follow up to provide clinical recommendation.
