Posted under CoolSculpting q&a

Normal to have delayed onset swelling? I had coolsculpting done on my lower abdomen.

cgmason
I had it with new applicator and Z-wave. Didn't have any pain/bruising or even swelling for the first few days. It's day 4 now, and still no pain but my stomach looks super bloated and it's quite firm. Is this caused by the procedure? Also, should I be worried that I didn't experience any pain or bruising? I didn't have much fat to begin with, but she said my skin was stretchy and good for this procedure.
