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: Is CoolSculpting temporary? Thanks for your question! CoolSculpting is a permanent technology that reduces the fat in the treated area by about 25% with each treatment. I'm surprised to hear that at the same weight, you feel as though your fat returned. I would address it with your technician and see what your options are moving forward. Definitely take a look at the before and after photos to see if there has been any change. Good luck!

Answer: Coolsculpting/Liposuction/Body Contouring/ High Definition Procedures I appreciate your question. Coolscultping as a non-invasive procedure gives you 2-25% reduction in 3 months. This is permanent. It may require an area to have more than 1 treatment, but this is all done while watching tv or working from your computer in our office. PAH is very rare, less than 1%. There aren't any risk factors to look for, but is simply treated with liposuction. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr Schwartz

Answer: Coolsculpting With each application of coolsculpting 20-25% of fat cells are permanently removed and they don't come back. If you end up gaining weight then the remaining fat cells will get bigger but number doesn't increase. It will be best to go back to the practice and review the areas of concern along with the pre and post pictures. Paradoxical hyperplasia can occur but is very rare.

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.
