Asked By:jcar30 in San Diego, CA

I got a second round of coolsculpting on my outter thighs after waiting the full 12 weeks after my first. Saw results after my first coolsculpting and was very happy with them but wanted to go a little further since I already got a package deal. Anyways my thighs are swelling up a ton and there is way more sharp intense pain consistently this time around. It's waking me up at night. The first time I hardly had any swelling or pain! Thought it would be the same experience again. Hoping this is all normal?
