I developed a painful mass on my neck the day after CoolSculpting. How long before it disappears?

Asked By:RL450 in MN

The morning after coolsculpting I had a painful mass, the size of a tangerine with defined edges. It hurt. I was told to massage it and increase my fluids. Ibuprofen was adequate for pain. Five days later it is smaller, large golf-ball size, and only tender to the touch. It moves up and down when I swallow like a "ribbiting" frog. The staff from the clinic were baffeled. I'm hoping this is something that will resolve? Wondering if I should keep doing the massaging and how long before it is gone?
