Why does CoolSculpting work for some people and not for others?

marilynowens
It's been 6 months since I had my procedure done on my upper and lower abs. I see no results at all. As a matter of fact my stomach is bigger. I continue to workout and eat healthy but this belly won't go anywhere. I have an appointment to see the technician that performed the procedure. I just want to know what other possibilities could it be as to why it did not work for me. Thank you
