I had cool sculpting done on my stomach on June 1. Three places were done (top and the two sides). I then came back on July 1 to have the bottom/middle done. A couple days after that second procedure I noticed a long lump about 1.5 inches long and shaped similar to a hot dog on the right side of my belly button. After 4 weeks it is no longer tender but still there! I have never had any lumps before and am relatively thin but for the pouch you get after having a baby. Help! Will this go away??

Answer: Lump after Coolsculpting To really know if you are going to have a lump there or not you will need to wait 3 months and see. If your Coolsculpting was done with an older handpiece called Coolmax you may have had insufficient central treatment. That can not be evaluated until your healing is complete at 3 months. It can be remedied by using the newer handpiece. Check with your treating facility (they may not be aware of this information).You do not need and will not need complex interventions.

Answer: Lump after Coolsculpting It is hard to tell from the photos you provided. In general most “lumps”are small areas of inflammation which naturally resolve. You maybe experiencing “step off” which happens when one area is treated and the adjacent area is not treated causing a visual difference and what you are calling lumps are preexisting untreated fat . It is not PAH ( paradoxical hyperplasia ) as that is extremely rare and too early in the time course to have those symptoms appear. If you return to your provider they should have before photos to compare where the applicators where placed and determine if it is pre existing fat or just regular inflammation
