What is the likelihood of PAH showing up 4-5 months after CoolSculpting procedure is completed?

Honest641731
I am about 5 months post treatment for bra strap and 4 months post treatment for the abdomen. My CoolSculpting results have been great and noticeable. I look much slimmer despite gaining 2 lbs post treatment. I am still planning to lose 10 more pounds. Is it safe to think that I was not affected by PAH? I’ve read that it most often shows up 2-3 months later, but can show up as late as 6 months My stomach and bra strap feel pliable with no hard spots or lumps or weird shapes.
