Any confirmed cases of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia on thighs after CoolSculpting?

I am going in for CoolSculpting on my inner thighs tomorrow and have an overwhelming fear of PAH. I know the risk is low but still afraid! Does anyone have any confirmed PAH on their thighs? I’ve seen it on abdomen and flanks but not yet read or saw any on thighs.

CoolSculpting works best when are within 15-20 pounds of your ideal weight. It is not a weight loss system but it is a great tool to assist in your hard work with working out.
