Coolsculpting didn't work, I had a total of 9 treatments and I actually gained an inch. What's the best alternative?

ChelsieChance1
I had 9 total cool sculpting treatments, 4 in one day 5 in the same day two months later. I have gained three lbs since the last treatment and one inch around my waist. I was told if the coolsculpting didn't work, the company that makes the machine would pay for Lipo. I have heard Lipo can leave lumpy marks. I want my love handles gone and a flat stomach. I am 49 and a smoker, 5'5 and weigh 134 lbs, would a mini tummy tuck work or would I need a full tummy tuck, would I need Lipo? Thanks Teri
