I had coolsculpting done on Father's Day. Two nights ago I started having pain. It's a stabbing pain, swelling and numbness still persis. When I consulted the med spa that did it for me they said the pain usually indicates better results. Is this true? Are all my symptoms normal? When will it all Go back to normal?

Answer: Pain after coolsculpting Thanks for your question. I do not believe there any any scientific documentation that increased pain after Coolsculpting results in better results. I have heard this from patients too, but I can not say that they have any better results than patients who don't experience any discomfort. The symptoms you are describing are all within the normal range of side effects from the treatment. Of course, if you are unsure of anything you are experiencing then you should return to the doctor at the office where your procedure was performed. I find most all of these symptoms to be resolved by 2-3 weeks. Best of luck!

Answer: Does more pain after CoolSculpting mean better results? In my opinion, having pain after a CoolSculpting treatment is not an indication of better results. Some people have pain and others do not. It also tends to occur primarily after treatment to the abdomen and not other areas. There is a prescription medicine that can help to alleviate the pain you are having so I would recommend contacting the physician who treated you to discuss this treatment option.
