Asked By:skyejperez in Rancho Palos Verdes, California
Hi, I recently had a surgery done in may for SRS (slipping rib syndrome) which they had to remove the front of my rib up to the side. There is now a bump of muscle (where my rib use to be) about an inch on both sides of my waist. I would like to know if cool sculpturing could freeze that muscle off or reduce it? I don’t have a lot of fat on myself, please let me know! Thank you
