Is it possible to develop paradoxical adipose hyperplasia in one area only after all other areas treated had no issue?

Asked By:clanni23 in New York, NY

I had Coolsculpting done on my thighs (inner, outer, banana roll) several months ago. Yesterday I did coolsculpting on flanks & arms. My right arm feels extremely swollen and much harder in comparison to my left arm. Is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia a concern if I have had Coolsculpting done before with no adverse side effects?
