How likely is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia with CoolSculpting in men?

Asked By:smilango in Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB

I'm looking into CoolSculpting for upper/lower abdomen but this has concerned me to what seemed like it was otherwise a non-invasive, risk-free procedure. From what I've read, you aren't able to detect for this occurring until after the treatment has been performed. In case it helps, I'm male, 32 yrs, ~15% body fat, exercise 6 days/week. Might as well be completely honest - the procedure would be performed at small cosmetic clinic and not by a physician.
