My outer right thigh is swollen and much more tender yet numb than any other part of my thighs. I have slight tenderness on the left inner thigh. The treatments were done to right inner and left outer then switched to the opposite sides 5 days ago. Is it possible only one side worked? Is it possible that the tender swollen side is Paradoxical hyperplasia that people speak of? I'm a little concerned. I've been massaging the area and drinking tons of water as directed. Please advise.

Answer: Post Treatment With CoolSculpting Thanks for your great question. The interesting thing about CoolSculpting is that everyone has slightly different reactions to the treatment. Having provided this service to over 10,000 patients, we have seen it all. Frequently, patients remark that one area or side feels more tender than another post treatment. Our experience has been that post treatment tenderness is not a determining factor as to whether or not the treatment worked. We have some patients who say they have no tenderness at all anywhere, and still have amazing results. I would seriously doubt that you are experiencing paradoxical hyperplasia. Only 1 person in 10,000 presents with that anomaly. And, tenderness is not an indication either. So I would simply wait out the three month period for your results to show, and be sure to schedule a follow up visit with your provider. Also, be sure they take follow up photos. Photos are the most helpful way to really see results after only one treatment. I wish you the best with your CoolSculpting adventure!
