What is the recovery like? Is it a bad idea to do it the first week of December if I have plans the following weekend?

AlyciaR
Going in for CoolSculpting on my double chin. I'm 22 yrs old and 120 pounds. the nurse told me what I have is a pocket of fat from genetics. Not sure what to expect out of this procedure- recovery wise. Is it a bad idea to do it the first week of December if I have plans the following weekend? I don't want to look noticeably swollen/worse. I can handle bruising but of course I don't want to be noticeably bigger in an area I'm already self conscious about. I am just eager to get it done!
