I'm 41F, 5'5, and 145 lbs. Coolsculpting on my cycle?

I'm 41F, 5'5, and 145 lbs. I'm interested in CoolSculpting/Coolsculpting Elite, and have a couple questions: 1) is there a time of month where it is more or less effective? Can the procedure be performed when I am experiencing bloating just before my period? 2) I've seen several photos of the "stick of butter" effect with the frozen fat just after coolscuplting. Does that happen with Elite, also? If you dont experience it, does it mean the fat didn't freeze?
