The clinic i consulted before this one told me i was not an ideal candidate for CS since I didn't have enough fat to be grabbed.Here,they said i was okay & that CS should be able to get rid of my inner thigh bulges after one treatment.Soon after the procedure,i noticed my thighs rubbing and that was not the case before the procedure.I have my Fup soon.I'm nervous and don't know what to do now to have the gap I had because the rubbing bothers me & gets worse after exercise (warms up and uncomfy)

Answer: Swelling following CoolSculpting Dear aliaa04: Thanks for sharing your photos. Pre CoolSculpting (CS) photos would be helpful and an in-person evaluation essential to better understand your concerns.In general, 2 actions are occurring following CS: Fat cell resorptionInflammationSwelling and scar formation 0-3monthsSwelling reduction and scar remodeling 3-12 monthsAt 7 weeks, swelling will “roller-coaster” up and down with activity and the thickening and tightening of scar formation will create lumpiness, sensitivities and fullness. These are normal and expected. My recommendations are: Alternating warm and cold massage,Compression garment with added pads over the CS areas for greater compression during non-social timesUltrasound or radio frequency (eg. ThermiSmooth) therapy if it does not go down after 3 months. You can certainly use it before. Regarding any further rubbing, seek professional Certified CoolSculpting Team advice and consideration of a second session of CS. I hope this helps. All the best!

Answer: Rubbing thighs post coolsculpting Dear aliaa04, Thanks for the question and sorry you're in discomfort. Its hard to tell without before and after pictures. You do get some swelling after getting coolsculpted, so your thighs maybe rubbing together since they're swollen and closer together. its best to address this soon with your coolsculpting practice so they can compare to your pre procedure pics. Hope this helps and best of luck. Best, Shamim
