Answer: Unlikely to be PAH Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH) after CoolSculpting is extremely rare. The rate of occurrence is about 0.005%. What is seen with PAH is a fairly localized area of increased fat accumulation. This would be where the CoolSculpting treatment was performed. It should be well demarcated; meaning the boundaries should be obvious. Your pictures don't really show what we would expect from PAH. That being said, I would recommend you see a physician and not a technician to have this further evaluated. It's possible that your weight gain could have negated the impact of CoolSculpting. Hope this helps, Dr. Garry K. Kim

Answer: Pah You should see a physician who is certified for Coolsculpting and not a technician . And do not do more Coolsculpting !! It does appear that you have a very likely case of pah. The area is firm and well demarcated . The only treatment is liposuction. Coolsculpting has a compensation program that it will cover the cost of the corrective surgery if your case is diagnosed as pah , but only the physician can make that diagnosis from the practice that did the original procedure
