33 year old, 5"11 135 pounds coolsculpting

I'm fit and lead a healthy lifestyle, but I'm a pear-shaped kind of girl and I've got pockets of fat which I can never get rid of on my flanks (love handles!) and inner thighs. I've managed to shrink them to a size where, if I wear the right clothes, they're not so noticeable. But then, if I'm bloating before my period or after a particularly vigorous workout, the shrunken fat cells expand again making me feel very self conscious about my shape.

Recently I've gained 5 pounds due to injury and not being able to move, so those pockets are pinchable enough to get treated.

I chose fat freeze because that's what's available where I live.

Treatment is tomorrow. Here are some before pictures.

So I did the treatment today. Ended up doing just the love handles because we couldn’t fit the suction cups on my upper thighs.
It was unpleasant and a very long treatment. Afterwards I felt freezing like someone threw ice cubes down my shirt. The skin was raw red immediately after, but that’s because I’m very fair. It has since returned to normal.
I’m supposed to only begin seeing results after a month but I’ll update on that as we go along.

I was surprised right after the treatment that I didn’t see any bruising. I found the suction aspect of the treatment so unpleasant that I couldn’t talk during it.

On Friday I didn’t feel anything unpleasant but then by Saturday my body started to hurt. I have painful bruises in the areas that the suction cups touched. Whenever something touches these areas it’s horrible. Not in the “take pain meds” type of pain, but it’s more soreness and pain than I was expecting.

Moreover, I have the same pain on my inner thighs just from the technicians attempts to get at that fat with the suction cups. My thighs are mostly muscles, and the little fat pocket is on the very top. But I literally had to do a split to be in a position for the suction cups to teach that area and sorry for being overly descriptive, but it felt like it was taking my vagina in as well. Of course, there was no way I would be like that for 45 minutes so I told the lady to forget about it.

Anyway, my inner thighs are bruised too just from the attempt. I think it’s because of having less fat so the skin stretches more? Or is this a normal side effect?

They’re strangely pink bruises and haven’t yet changed colour, but they’re more faded than yesterday.

I’ve added some pictures. Keep in mind that the horizontal red lines are from my pants and jeans, which is another thing, the place is so tender my clothes are leaving marks.
