Hi. I had CoolSculpting done three weeks ago. I know the results can take two to four months but I'm nervous that I still feel very bloated and bigger than before I had the treatment on my stomach and inner thighs. I have been very careful with my diet...even better than before treatment and exercise regularly with running, biking, and home workout videos? My weight is also up on the scale and not changing even though I'm following my Weight Watcher point system carefully? I'm scared.
Answer: Swelling after CoolSculpting Typically, there is minimal to no downtime after the treatment though patients may experience temporary pain or discomfort. Side effects can include redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness to the touch, cramping, itching, tingling, and numbness. It sounds like you are experiencing swelling, which is normal and not permanent. You will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

Answer: Is Abdominal Bloating Normal After CoolSculpting? Thank you for your question. Though every patient has their own individual responses to post treatment you may find it comforting to know that, yes, abdominal swelling is considered to be a normal side effect, though not everyone experiences it. Sometimes patience have a bit of water retention as well as swelling that gives them the 'bloated' feeling/look. The good news is that this is a natural response and the symptoms will typically go away usually around two to four weeks. In the meantime, you may find it helpful to use a compress for three to five days to help reduce swelling. A couple of other side effects that most commonly appear after CoolSculpting are numbness, redness and tenderness in the area for a number of days or even weeks in some cases. There may also be occasional bruising in the area. Without seeing you in person, I would recommend checking in with your original treatment provider to answer this question directly and give you helpful recommendations as to whether a temporary anti-inflammatory (NSAID) or compress would be most helpful in your recovery. I hope this answer was helpful. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Bloating after Coolsculpting Swelling after your CoolSculpting treatment is completely normal and part of the process. Once CoolSculpting kills your fat cells, your body goes through inflammation to rid these cells. This will cause swelling and bloating feeling in the treated areas as well as some discomfort. Compression garments can help.

Answer: CoolSculpting One of the temporary side effects of CoolSculpting is swelling. This normally resolves in a few days to several weeks. You will normally see the best results 2-3 months after your final treatment. Two treatments to the area are recommended for optimal results. CoolSculpting is strictly a fat reduction treatment, it does not involve weight loss or weight gain. For best results you should continue to follow a healthy diet and exercise plan.
