I Had my Belly Done with Coolsculpting and Have Severe Bruising and Pooling of Blood, I Am Worried? (photo)

Bruising after Coolsculpting is very common and shouldn't worry you.  The bruising is a result of the suction required to pull the tissue into the applicator and can be quite significant in some patients.  Bruising can last days to even a few weeks depending on how significant it is.   The chances and severity of bruising can increase if you were taking blood thinning products prior to the procedure such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, Fish oil, etc. The bruising and discomfort will resolve.   You may consider Traumeel or Arnica cream on the bruised area to help it resolve more quickly.  Good luck.

 

Your bruising is certainly very dramatic but will resolve. Pain, while unusual, can occur but is usually mild and temporary. Onset of severe pain several days after treatment, especially when the abdomen is treated, can be severe can be controlled by wearing Spanx and taking ibuprofen or pain killers. Fortunately, this is uncommon.
