CoolSculpting to banana roll left me with wrinkles. Is there anything I can do about this? (Photo)

Question

I have had pockets of fat under my butt cheeks (banana roll) forever and did coolsculping to remove them. It pretty much worked, but now I have long wrinkle lines below my butt cheek. This is just as bad as having the roll. Is there anything I can do about this? I’m so disappointed as I’ve hid my backside all my life and now continue to have to. I feel like I’m stuck with these lines. :(

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.
