Can coolsculpting cause fat to be redistributed?

dhemmingsen
I received coolsculpting on the middle of my lower abdomen and have since developed a tire like band of fat on either side that I never had before. Its almost like the fat redistributed itself from the treated area to either side of it. I work out 6 days a week and have not gained any weight. I don't know what to do, my husband says that I should go back and see if they can fix this as my body shape has definitely changed. Any advice is appreciated.
