CoolSculpting gone wrong. Is there a treatment for PAH other than a tummy tuck?

Sorry to hear about your CoolSculpting experience. PAH is most commonly treated with Liposuction or a Tummy Tuck. If there is documentation to prove you actually have PAH then Allergan (the company that manufactures the device) will cover the cost of your corrective surgery. PAH is much less common with the newer CoolAdvantage applicators. Best wishes.

Hello, I am so sorry that you are experiencing this very very rare side effect of CoolSculpting.
However CoolSculping as a company takes this situation very seriously. I would advise that you immediately follow up at the clinic you received your treatments and seek help amongst the clinic and CoolSculpting. They should have a rep that can get you on the right track for assistance through this process. 

PAH is rare after CoolSculpting. iI recommend a formal recommendation from a cosmetic surgeon. You may have some swelling for 3-6 months after the procedure. Most patients require a second treatment 2-3 months after the first to see better outcomes. For best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, a Vaser liposuction/liposculpture with ThermiRF/J plasma/Renuvion/InMode Body Tite procedure may be needed to give more contouring, fat removal, skin tightening and definition. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Generally, power-assisted liposuction is the treatment for PAH, rather than a tummy tuck.Should also be much easier to manage, financially.  Check with the CoolSculpting company about this - they have some financial assistance available.

Hi.  Thank you for the question.  PAH is a known complication with CoolSculpting, although not very common.  Liposuction is the treatment, not a tummy tuck.  If you have true PAH, the company will pay for your liposuction, so see the doctor who performed your CS and get this documented so you can start the process.Best of luck,Michael Kerin, MDKerin MedSpa NY
