Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive fat reduction forthe right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantageapplicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayedonset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months andtypically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve idealresults. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and thepatient's goals. There is not downtime and the results can be impressivein the right patient. We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patientcomfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in prettygood shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what. It is important to visit your doctor for a check up regarding your pain.My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Thank you for your question. Since there has been a change in your post op course, I would recommend that you follow up with your CoolSculpting provider and Primary Care Physician so he/she can examine you and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan at this time.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting is a safe non-invasive method for permanent fat removal. Having pain and tingling after treatment is a side effect of treatment, this can last for a few weeks. However, anytime you are having pain near the appendix it is best to be seen by your treating physician to make sure nothing else is happening. Best of Luck!
There is a small percentage of patients who have post procedural pain. However, coincidental problems can occur and this should not be brushed off as this until it is fully evaluated by your doctor. It is possible to get appendicitis at anytime, and it would be completely unrelated to the procedure. Please have it looked at to make sure it is nothing serious. The CoolAdvantage handpiece is supposed to have less of this pain afterwards.
