I had Coolsculpting done on my abdomen and love handles 2 weeks ago. My stomach area is still hard and lumpy. How long should it take for this to subside?

Denis L. Gonyon, Jr., MD (account suspended) says:
CoolSculpting is a great option for targeted fat reduction of the upper arms. Typically, CoolSculpting results are amplified when performed on the arms. A consultation and physical exam is required to provide a treatment recommendation but most often 2-3 treatments would be needed.
Being on immunosuppressants such as Imuran is not a contraindication to having CoolSculpting treatments, nor is it likely to reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. You can expect a 20-25% reduction in the subcutaneous fat volume in each area treated, with full results in 60-90 days...
Laparoscopic surgery will not affect results of your Coolsculpting. Usually, 2-3 small 5-10mm incisions are used to introduce instruments inside of the abdomen. This should not interfere with CS results. Hope this helps
