Hi. I just had a consult for CoolSculpting and was told that if I did my lower belly and overhang, ithe skin would hang lower after the procedure. I realize I won't have a completely flat tummy like you would get with a tummy tuck (I assume a tummy tuck is my best option, but the downtime and price is not what I can afford right now.) If I go with Coolsculpting, what would my options be regarding tightening the loose skin? Any other recommendations? Thanks for your help!
