How often should I massage and how hard after CoolSculpting? I think I was one of the unfortunate people who have all the side effects mentioned, severe lower ab pain, itching and very swollen belly. I have been putting ice packs to help with the pain and the itching but it seems like is getting worst by the day. Massaging the treated area is extremely painful, even wearing spandex does not help. I had the procedure done a week ago.

Answer: Swelling and pain after coolsculpting Swelling and pain after coolsculpting are uncommon but most common in women who have had abdominal surgery using the older suction technology on the coolsculpting. Anti-inflammatory medication, muscle relaxers and compression may help. Definately, don't overdue cold compresses or warm compresses as this may irritate the area further. Sometimes a steroid injection is waranted to calm the inflammation. Lymphatic massage may help with the swelling but will likely have no effect on final results. Massage immediately after coolsculpting can help to reduce fat cells by causing increased fat cell death while frozen, but beyond that is unlikely. Best of luck.

Answer: Coolsculpting & Massage--Add Radiofrequency, Thermage, Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, VASER, ThermiRF Massage helps eliminate any swelling you may have, which can last 3-6 months after Coolsculpting. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. For best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, a Vaser with ThermiRF procedure is the best combination for bodyshaping. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
