I must admit, I've been reading to many negative reviews and googled too much. I've convinced myself that I may develop Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia. I know...it's too early to see results, and stop googling! But what should I feel like? I had a large applicator on lower abdomen and the small applicator on top. Right now I'm hoping it's just swelling, but my stomach is bigger than before. When I sit down I actually have a roll of fat that hangs over. My stomach feels firm...is this normal?

Answer: CoolSculpting the Stomach Thank you for your question. Seeing that you are only 2 weeks post treatment, you most likely still have some swelling. You will experience the most dramatic results two months after treatment. However, your body will still remove fat cells for up to 4-6 months after treatment. I suggest giving your body more time to heal and recuperate, as your final results cannot be seen yet. Best of Luck!

Answer: You Likely Have Normal Swelling Thank you for your question. Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) is extremely rare, and its onset takes a few months. At this point in your healing process, what you're experiencing is swelling — and that's normal. After a CoolSculpting treatment, swelling should begin to subside right around 2 weeks after treatment (i.e., any day now). It will take about 1 month for your results to be more defined, and the full effects won't be present for 3 months. However, if your swelling continues to worsen in the weeks ahead rather than improve, I would alert your surgeon. Best of luck!
