Question

27 year old female 79 kg who had a flat upper torso and then after Coolsculpting the entire stomach got that bulge

Juan Guillermo Breton, MD · Answer

That's called a Paradoxical Adipose Hiperplasya, it's not a common condition (0.5%), the only thing that can be done is surgery; kybella wont work, radiofrecuencia won't work, because your fat cells became larger and thicker with the treatment. Talk to your provider to see if you have any insurence, usually if your procedure was done with the Coolsculpting device (allergan aesthetics) they have it

Drew Varano, MD · Answer

That isn’t a shark bite .. shark bite is when fat is removed leaving a concave marking . This bulge is convex and highly representative of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia . You need to return to the physician that performed the procedure so they can report the case to allergan and will need corrective liposuction
