Is it normal to be so swollen and lumpy after CoolScultping? (Photos)

Dear loblolly:It is not common to have uneven swelling after CoolSculpting, but when it has occurred it has resolved within two to four weeks. Give this a little time; you need four months to see the complete response to a treatment.All the best,   Dr. Clark

The lumpiness you describe could actually be swelling, and if this is the case, it is not uncommon to have areas with more swelling in some areas compared to other areas. If the lumpiness has not improved in two weeks, call the provider that performed the CoolSculpting. Don’t be afraid to address any concerns you have.

Thank you for your question. The lumpiness you are describing could be the swelling, swelling is considered a normal side effect following a CoolSculpting procedure. It is a result of the inflammation that occurs as the fat cells die off. This should resolve within two weeks.  You can always follow up with your provider if you have any further concerns.  Best of luck to you!
