Hello, I had my coolsculpting done in Nov 2022. Its been months now and I feel I have bulged even more in saddlebag area(outer thighs) The area doesn’t feel hard or anything. But its bigger than it used to be. I was exercising in the mean time but I was 46kgs that time and was underweight. I gained 5kgs but I am Not sure why my saddle bags look more prominent than ever. Can anyone help me understand what I can do? I am 5’3” and weight 51.7 kg

I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon to make sure that you haven't had a rare complication called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH). This can cause enlargement and hardening of fat in treated areas.
I think that you had a superficial second degree burn, usually the only thing is to avaid sun exposure because of the risk of postinflamatory hiperpeygmentation. FDA cancelled the flat applicators, because not only the suction matters, but how you vacuum the tissue, thats why the are only round...
Hi, thank you for your question! I would not recommend for a patient to receive cool-sculpting with history of a hernia. The suction from the machine can cause issues with a pre existing hernia repair and also an existing one.
