CoolSculpting. Is this indentation normal? (Photo)

July 14, 2016
Asked By:Misspiggy87 in Toronto, ON

I recently had cool sculpting to reduce a small amount of fat on my abdomen. However, 7 weeks later the fat I wanted reduced beneath my belly button is still there, but there is a deep indentation resembling a shark bite about half an inch above my belly button. Can you please tell me if this is normal and will change over time, or if perhaps the cool sculpt was not positioned properly to target fat below the belly button.
