Normal for tenderness and numbness at the same time 10 days after CoolSculpting?

These symptoms are all completely normal after Coolsculpting. The numbness can last up to 4 weeks and the swelling around 2 weeks. Pairing Coolsculpting with a RF treatment like the Venus Legacy will help with lymphatic drainage (swelling) and promote circulation (numbness).

Hello, you've asked a good question, thank you.  Numbness is a very common side effect following Coolsculpting, it can usually last anywhere from 2-4 weeks after the treatment.  Tenderness and soreness are to be expected as well.  Some patients do experience swelling, it is usually minimal, and if you are experiencing swelling, this could make the tissue feel firmer than normal.  You  might try weaing a compressive garment, like a spankx, which may help with comfort. 

 Every person’s body is different and so while some people have very few symptoms or sensations after CoolSculpting, others may experience some prolonged swelling and tenderness for 2 to 3 weeks. That sounds like what’s going on in your case. The fat will feel stiffer due to swelling in the tissue, but this is temporary. If you’re having trouble fitting into your clothes, you could try a compression garment or Spanx to control the swelling. This will also alleviate some of the discomfort you are feeling. As for the quality of your fat, don’t worry about that yet. It takes 2 to 3 months before you see the results of your CoolSculpting; your body needs time to filter out the dead fat cells. If you continue to feel uncomfortable, please talk to the practitioner who treated you.

Thank you for your question! All of these symptoms are completely normal after a Coolsculpting treatment. Stretching will help with the discomfort. I would recommend you to find an office that offers Cool Advantage, the most updated Coolsculpting machine. This newer machine provides better comfort and can be completed in 35 minutes. If symptoms persist, see the doctor that provided your treatment.

Dear Caddiegirl:  These are all normal sensations 10 days post Coolsculpting, and they are a combination of swelling and nerves recovering.  They should begin to improve for you very soon and most patients don't complain of any abnormal sensations once they get to 3 or 4 weeks out.  Very rarely these symptoms persist and we have prescribed a medication called neurontin to help with the discomfort but this is quite rare.Best of luck to you!G.

Hello,Thank you for your question. Your experience is completely normal. There are several sensations post CoolSculpting. They should subside in a couple weeks. If you are still concerned please reach out to the physician who treated you. Good luck and congratulations on your treatment! 

Thank you for your question.What you are experiencing is perfectly normal. This may last days or even weeks. The tenderness and numbness will gradually subside. Try wearing a pair of leggings or clothing that is not tight or restrictive. Best of luck and enjoy your results!

you can have pain after treatment for many weeks and massage, RF treatments and oral neuron tin often help.  Best, Dr. Emer.

What you are describing are very normal side effects to expect with CoolSculpting and can last anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks. Usually with our patients the swelling/tenderness last for 1 to 2 weeks, but the numbness seems to last 3 to 4 weeks. Best of luck with your Treatments!
