How long will nerve pain from Coolsculpting my abdomen last? I'm on Day 10!

Thank you for your question. Nerve pain can last up to a couple of weeks after treatment. it will usually subside within a month. Please follow up with your provider with any concerns.Regards,

Thank you for your question. Temporary numbness is common after the Coolsculpting.  It is not uncommon to have delayed onset of pain around 5 days after Coolsculpting.  The discomfort is due to inflammation of the tissue. Not everyone has pain or numbness.  The intermittent discomfort tends to subside within a week. It generally takes couple of weeks for the swelling  subside. The numbness can take longer to resolve, especially with the larger abdominal Cool Max applicator.  I do recommend compression for at least 3 weeks or until the numbness has resolved.  We utilize the new Cool Advantage applicators which are much more comfortable and reduce treatment time to 35 minutes.  We currently have 4 Coolsculpting machines and can offer "Dual Sculpting" which further reduces the treatment time.  I recommend keeping in touch with the office of your treating provider and regular follow-up.  Best wishes

Great question.  The type of pain you are describing is not a common side effect from CS but it does occur.  Using an ice pack on the area is the best treatment, but if it is not working you can ask your doctor for Neurontin which may help.  This nerve pain typically lasts 1-2 weeks.  Of note, with the new CoolAdvantage applicator I am not seeing this side effect at all.  This applicator uses much less vacuum and is a 35 minute treatment, not the typical 60 minute treatment.
