6 weeks after CoolSculpting - is it normal to still retain water at this point?

Question

Hi, I’m 65” and under 120lbs and under went cool sculpting almost 6 weeks ago. Is it reasonable to still retain water at this point? I follow a moderately strict diet and exercise regimen and haven’t increased my caloric intake since the procedure. The areas I received the treatment were the flanks, upper and lower abdomen. TIA

Hello, it is very normal to notice inflammation for about 3-4 weeks after Coolsculpting. I would not hesitate to reach out to the facility where your treatment was done and send them photos or schedule an appointment to address your concerns.

You may have some swelling for 3 to 6 months after Coolsculpting. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend truSculpt iD, Thermage, Ultherapy, and Exilis. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a body contouring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
