Asked By:tdohnert in Columbus, OH

I'm 2 weeks post op coolsculpting. Areas are redened and very hot to touch... is this normal? I'm experiencing all other side effects swelling itching mild discomfort... the redness and hotness of skin worries me? I haven't read anyone complaining of this adverse effect. Do I need a antibiotic?
