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.
Answer: Problems after Coolsculpting It seems like the Coolsculpting has reduced the amount of fat in the treatment locations, only to reveal the excess skin and make it look worse. Unfortunately, Coolsculpting doesn't do much skin tightening, it only reduces the fat in the area. I recommend you discuss your concerns with your provider and even consider seeing a plastic surgeon for a second opinion. Considering you are only 3 months out from your treatment, you may see some additional changes / improvements over the next 3 months.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa Aesthetic Centers

Answer: Coolsculpting flop Coolsculpting is a non-invasive way to reduce pinchable fat. Unfortunately, it does not work on skin laxity. It sounds like the Coolsculpting worked to remove the fat in the areas you wanted and left you with skin laxity. My suggestion would be to have a in person consult with a board certified Dermatologist or Plastic surgeon to determine what would procedure would provide you with the results you desire.

Answer: Coolsculpting Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction for the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what.It is hard to evaluate if you are a good candidate for this without a picture or in person evaluation. My best, Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMM Beverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Getting the Results You Want with Coolsculpting--Add Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra This is tough to answer without before and after pictures. With Coolsculpting, I recommend adding a combination of radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing in order to get the best results. However, it sounds like you have greater skin laxity which would make you a candidate for a tummy tuck and VASER liposuction, which could be done at the same time. I recommend VASER HI DEF in combination with ThermiRF, ultrasound and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, contouring and skin tightening. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a HI DEF physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It seems like the procedure has reduced fat in the treated areas, and has now left you with loose skin. Unfortunately, Coolsculpting does not tighten skin. I recommend having an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your desires.
