I had keyhole surgery to remove a 3cm cyst from my left ovary three weeks ago. I am still not allowed to engage in vigorous sports but I feel fine and am able to go about my daily activities. The entry point for the surgery is on the right side of my lower abdomen. I am very dissatisfied with my right love handle (significantly thicker than the left). I am keen to have Zeltiq done to the right love handle. Is it ok for me to do it now?

Thank you for your question.
