Have my arms been victimized by poor placement of Coolsculpting applicators? (photos)

As you'll notice from before photos, arms were smooth, symmetrical & fairly toned but had about 25% extra fat, so CS seemed ideal for the little bulge on UPPER backs of my arms. Now 4 months post-CS there's a huge dent in what was my already-visible triceps & I'm now left with unsightly bulges in the very places I was trying to address! Have I been mutilated by a sadistic practitioner or was it an honest mistake? Is there a solution to be had or am I going to be stuck with lumpy arms forever?
