Swelling, numb, itchy and needle pain after 2 weeks of cool sculpting. Any suggestions? (photos)

Thank you for your question and photos. Though the pictures are helpful, I would recommend that you  check in with your original treatment provider to discuss your current discomfort and address any questions you may have. With that being said, I can tell you that having these side effects is very common and the symptoms are usually temporary and will typically go away with time. Because each patient heals and reacts to post treatment differently, It is hard to say when your symptoms will resolve without seeing you in person. Usually these symptoms are most noticeable up to three to four weeks, sometimes longer depending on the patient. Your provider may have suggestions such as a garment compress for swelling and discomfort along with over the counter antihistamines or anti-inflammatories to temporarily take until the symptoms disappear. For more information regarding your question, please see the video below. Best of luck to you on your recovery!

Thanks for your question. You may want to try wearing compression garments around the treated area. Also taking Benadryl can help with the itching. All of your symptoms are normal. 

I appreciate your question.this is still normal healingThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Thank you for your question. Speak with your practitioner regarding your symptoms and possible medications or therapeutic measures to relieve your concerns. Sincerely yours,  

Hello, and thank you for this question. Some patients do have delayed swelling and bruising. I would recommend some anti-inflammatory medications and we have also found that some light lymphatic type massage may be helpful as well.
