Coolsculpting - Was It Done Correctly for the Love Handles?

newbieDUB
Hi, I just had a Coolsculpting session for my lower abdomen and love handles. While the lower abdomen was fine, it is the love handles I am concerned about. The therapist performing the procedure advised me to lie on my stomach and placed the device right on the top part of my buttocks instead of the area above or directly on the sides. I asked her twice if the deivce is placed correctly but she said it was OK and that the effects of the freezing woud also affect the surrounding areas.
