Coolsculpting applicator not completely filled, but suction is intact. Does that = less effective fat freezing?

kk94309
During my treatment with the large applicator, I noticed that the skin fold did not reach the back of the applicator--in other words, the applicator had enough suction to stay on but was only about 60% filled. Does the skin fold being treated have to reach the back of the applicator for good results? Does the cooling only occur between the two plates or is there another cooling panel at the back of the applicator?
