I am a 5"4, 40 year old female and my weight is around 126lb . I have the classic pear shape. I eat healthy and exercise regularly. Dispute my healthy lifestyle I was struggling to loose that stubborn lower belly.buldge. I decided to try cool sculpting on my lower abdomen and inner thighs. I just had the cool sculpting procedure done in CT. I had the large adaptor on my lower abdomen. I thought when they first sucked my abdomen into the machine it felt like it took my breathe away. Just from the tightness and pulling from the machine. That sensation only lasted a few minutes. I didn't feel any discomfort from the cold but I did feel cramping. The producer lasted an hour. I have to say I felt cramps the entire time but, it was manageable. I took a Xanax before the procedure and I would recommend taking something if possible. When they removed the device my tummy looked like a red frozen stick of butter. They rubbed my belly until it returned to normal. That was very uncomfortable and made the cramps more intense. Then once they finished I had no more discomfort. I felt completely fine with only numbness and minor swelling. I am one day out from the procedure and no pain just a strange numb sensation in the entire area that was treated. I have an apt next week to treat my inner thighs and my right outer hip. I will post some before pictures and updates on my progress.
Before picture
This is my abdomen area before picture. I will post the pictures taken before the procedure when I can get them.
Day two post procedure
Day two and No pain so far. The numbness is still there but not as intense as it was the first day after treatment. It is very manageable and only feels numb if you touch it or clothes rub against it. I have been wearing loose clothes and taking it easy. I have read that people experience pain around day 4. I am praying that won't be the case for me. I will keep you posted. So far two days out my thoughts are the procedure is uncomfortable but manageable and so far no pain or discomfort post procedure.
