How can I diagnose & treat paradoxical adipose hyperplasia without an invasive procedure?

Question

I had one Coolsculpting procedure in November of 2023 . I am noticing an increase in the size of my lower abdomen where I believe that I may have the unwanted side effects called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH). How can I diagnose and treat this without an invasive procedure?

Anna Avaliani, MD · Answer

Simply noticing an increase in the size of the lower abdomen is not PAH. It is usually very hard, palpable and visible bulge in the shape of the applicator.if you have established PAH diagnosis, currently the only acceptable and successful therapy is liposuction unfortunately. There are reports of people trying Kybella, Emsculpt Neo or SculpSure as well, but with limited information and success rate.To diagnose PAH, you need to go to the provider who performed your Coolsculpting and have your before and after photos. This also will need to be reported to the company and will ned to be verified by Coolsculpting clinical department as a true PAH case.
