The skin in the area feels numb on the surface, There is not bruising at all, but it feels like a bruise under the skin. Skin feels numb. Kind of weird to feel numb and pain at the same time. I can't wear jeans as all mine are kind of close fitting and it would hurt. Also the fat in the area prior to the treatment was quite 'fluffy' and pliable and now it is kind of firm. Not any smaller, but just feels 'stiffer' and a little bigger, hard to describe really. Is this normal?
Answer: Numbness post 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).

Answer: Numbness following Coolsculpting 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.

Answer: Tenderness and Numbness After CoolSculpting? Swelling Can Last Two Weeks or More After CoolSculpting
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.

Answer: Coolsculpting Question 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.

Answer: This is all normal 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. Robert Meger MD
