I recently had CS done on my abs. The clinician did not mark me up, and placed the two applicators on my upper abs in a way that was clearly asymmetrical. When I mentioned this she said not to worry. But when the applicators came off it was clear that they’d been placed asymmetrically. I later voiced my concern about how the results might turn out, but she wouldn’t admit she did anything wrong. What are the steps I can take at this stage to avoid uneven results?
Answer: Asymmetrical Coolsculpting The experience and training of the Coolsculpting tech has a very significant effect on the results. Many clinics have a high turnover and do not bother to invest in the proper training. There is definitely an art to applying the applicators to get great results. Acoustic wave therapy after the Coolsculpting treatment can help greatly improve the outcome. Since you already had the treatment, I would recommend just waiting it out to see what the final outcome looks like. The new flat applicators are much more forgiving of technician error so you might be ok.

Answer: Asymmetrical CoolSculpting Application? Always Find Expert for CoolSculpting
I do normally draw on the patient while we look in the mirror together to ensure optimal placement to treat the problem area. Not every provider does this, yet still get good results. It’s normal to feel a little anxious about whether your procedure will give you the results you want. You just had your treatment so, at this point, you don’t know what your figure will look like. The asymmetry may be slight enough to not really affect your overall appearance and perhaps there was asymmetry initially, which then made it seem like the applicators were erroneously placed. You should start to see a difference in circumference in a month or two. However, it looks like you’re probably going to need at least one or two more treatments, depending on your goals. If you think you look lopsided after your results start to show, then find a real CoolSculpting expert to administer your next treatments. A board-certified dermatologist who’s been certified by Zeltiq as a CoolSculpting expert and who has a full array of applicators on hand is the best way to ensure good outcome, as is following your CoolSculpting with a session of Zimmer Z-wave radial pulsed therapy to make your end results more uniform and lovely.

Answer: Post CoolSculpting Hello,Thank you for your question and picture. We are treating the peak of the fat with CoolSculpting. Often times our body is asymmetrical and we have to treat accordingly. At this point you will have to wait to see how the results turn out. You can have the practice document your concerns and then evaluate in 3-4 months when you see the full results. Good luck and congratulations on your treatment.

Answer: Post cool sculpting Thanks for the question, I have found many patients need liposuction post cool sculpting. First because they did not get the results they did were looking for and some of the asymmetry and scarring and even fat growth that can occur from cool sculpting

Answer: Asymmetric CS Application Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, what's done is done. Fortunately though, CS applicators have a feathering result which will likely leave you without a noticeable difference. After 3 months, if there is a noticeable difference, further treatments can be done to even things out.In our Spa, I do all of the applications myself, to help minimize the chance of an unfavorable cosmetic result.Best of luck.Michael Kerin MDKerin MedSpa & Laser Center
