3 months post CoolSculpting, loose skin is getting worse even though weight remains the same, is my procedure a flop?

hadrab
I had CoolSculpting done 3 months ago, spent 7 hrs and $4500 with pain afterwards. I am in my 50's, had 3 c -sections, and loose skin in lower abdomen. After 2 months start having loose skin under my breast, middle abdomen, lower abdomen, and back bra roll. It got worse and I've started feeling very uncomfortable when sitting and bending forward. I look like Michellen tire cartoon and it has been worsening  even though my weight remains 140 lbs ( height 5'5") and activity and diet remain same.
