Why Does the Fat Keep Coming Back After CoolSculpting?

April 10, 2012

I have had 5 cool sculpting treatments in the past year. The fat keeps coming back, less each time, but it still comes back. The person that does the treatment says that she has never seen that happen before. I am 5'4", 111 lbs, & 69 yrs old. Why is this happening and should I continue to have the treatments, hoping that they will eventually work? Update 4/17/2012: The 5 treatments that I had were on my lower abdomen. I have not gained weight, but the fat is still there. Should I continue with the treatments or have slim lipo or tickle lipo done instead?
