54 and Tired of Love Handles! Appleton, WI

UPDATED FROM wazoo
2 months post

Two weeks post ab treatment, back to where I started.

Just a quick update: I judge my progress by my tape measure, and two weeks post ab treatment, my measurements around my waist, low abs & hips were back to where they were the day before the treatment. The worst of the swelling lasted nearly 10 days, and at the worst it added 2 full inches to my waist & hips. It was very uncomfortable to sit in the car for a long (4-hour) trip the weekend (7-9 days) after the treatment - any clothing or seatbelt that went across the treated area set the nerves on fire. I wished I was wearing a muu-muu with no undergarments!

However, now that I am heading into week 3 territory, I am hoping to see some reduction in fat soon.

Thank you for these detailed updates. I am going in on May 12 for lower and upper abdomen. I've lost a bunch of weight, but the hanging fat around the middle won't go. I'm worried about the pain and swelling, obviously, but mostly worried it will all be a waste. So, I look forward to hearing if you have any results that show up a little later. I am considering inner thighs and arms as well, if the abdomen is successful. I'll be checking back to see your posts as you continue to update.

Day 5 after treatment to abs

Seems like a lot of people say that Coolsculpting the abdomen is more painful than other areas, and I would have to agree! I feel like I am having a lot more swelling. I had to put on a compression tank top yesterday to see if that would help - the swelling has added 2 full inches around my waist and my hips! When I had the love handles done, the swelling started to subside on day 5. I woke up at 2:30 am last night and could not get back to sleep due to the discomfort, even after taking Advil.

Youch! I've heard the same about the abs - maybe because there is more muscle there? I've read from others in the community that wearing compression garments does really help.

Today I feel like I got beat up in a dark alley, and every punch landed on my stomach. I guess there was a lot of fat that got sucked into those devices : (
I'm being a big baby....

Not sure how to update the price. $1800 was for the first 4 sessions, the abdomen was an additional $2000.
