Hello - had Vader liposuction in my lower front abdomen in august of 2017. I’m generally happy with the result but there is a bit of leftover lumpiness, and a small fat pad that I’d like to improve. I spoke with my Dr who did not recommend a repeat surgery and basically said to live with it. Diet and exercise will not spot reduce this area. I was thinking that perhaps coolsculpting this area would offer the improvement I desire. Any experience with Coolsculpting after lupo? Risks/effectiveness?
