Laparoscopic surgery after CoolSculpting. Will the surgery affect my results from my CS session?

Witty1517Apr 19, 2019
I had lower abdominal cool sculpting done a little over 3 weeks ago. I had to have an emergency laparoscopic appendectomy 2 days ago and my incisions are directly below my belly button where I had my coolsculpting . Will the surgery affect my results from my CS session?
