Is Use of 2 Large Cool Sculpting Panels in 1 Session, with an Overlapping Area, Good Practice and Safe?

September 18, 2013
Asked By:Nolamom3

I consulted with a local plastic surgeon's office performing cool sculpting. I was seen by an estitician, not the dr. She recommended using 2 large panels to treat lower abs with a small overlapping section just below my belly button, thereby, treating this area twice in 1 session. I am concerned that this would put me at greater risk for post-procedure pain and sensitivity, especially in the overlapping area. I have not heard of anyone else having this done and I wonder if this is a good idea?
