I had SculpSure in my low flank for an hourglass figure, but I feel soreness in my hip area, is this normal? (Photos)

Asked By:queenz667 in New York, NY

Hi, I did sculpsure in my mid-lower flank area, but I'm afraid the applicators were put too close to my hips, as I do feel some soreness in that area. I have included photos I took right after the procedure to show where the applicators were placed. The technician used the highest setting. Based on the photos and my soreness in that area, do you think my hip size is going to decrease with some of my sides? Also, is it normal for only side to be sore/hurt during the procedure?
