I had Coolsculpting one on my upper arms in January and was thrilled with my results (I created a separate review of that if you are interested). This time I am going to get my abdomen treated. I had liposuction 12 years ago that didn't target my upper abdomen. You will see in my "before" pictures that I have a LOT of pinchable fat there versus my lower abdomen. The clinic said that all three areas must be treated, though, since I do have pinchable fat on my middle abdomen and to treat only the top would create an uneven result.
I have always had a very straight figure with narrow hips and no curves, which was only made worse by two pregnancies (the most recent being 1 year ago). I am hopeful this will enhance my figure and help me get back into my bikini for summer!

The treatment took forever this time; I had two applicators on my upper, middle and lower abdomen. @ 35 minutes each, that = 3.5 hours! This was much, much more painful than my arms and I am much more sore today than with that procedure. I think they got great coverage, though, so I am excited to see how I look in a few weeks.

Excited to see your future updates! I'm curious, though. Did your clinic offer you the Coolmax applicator?
April 20, 2017
No, they didn't offer/recommend it. However, from my research, the Coolmax is mainly for debulking/large fat volume reduction, and my stomach didn't have a whole ton of fat to remove - I mainly need contouring. All 3 areas on my stomach were treated with the "CoolCore Advantage" applicator.

Ok, that makes sense! I must have had more fat to lose. I had 2 rounds of the CoolMax, and I just had a third round done on my abdomen using the CoolCore applicators, placed in a diamond shape around my belly button to contour.

Hello! I'm scheduled for this procedure in October - they suggested the coolmax applicator for my bottom piece - I'm assuming its the new applicator and not the old ones?

I can't wait to see the result. I have the same issue. Upper abs is pretty big conspire to my lower abs.

I was very sore and swollen for the first 4-5 days after the procedure. I finally caved and ordered a compression tank, the "Maidenform Flexees Women's Shapewear Wear Your Own Bra Torsette", which really helps - I wish I'd gotten it to wear right away! Highly recommended. It's *just* tight enough.
No results yet, which I expected. I am feeling much better now - still numb, of course, but the pain is almost gone. Posting some pics for records.
