CoolSculpting, Stubborn Upper Arm Fat. Mom of 2, 5'7" 138lbs

ORIGINAL POST

Hello! I had my consult yesterday for...

WORTH IT$1,500
Hello! I had my consult yesterday for CoolSculpting and am scheduled for the procedure next Friday 1/27/17. My upper arms are the first place I put on weight, and the last place I lose it. I am close to my ideal weight, and the rest of my body looks proportional. The Dr. first said they didn't know if I had "enough" fat for the procedure, but once I held my arms straight, they saw it. It turns out I also have a lot more fat on my right arm than my left. I am including before pictures of both arms here. I'll also post the photos they take before my procedure and update as the weeks go on.

Good luck! Been thinking about doing my arms as well. Had bra roll and flanks done already.

You're like me! I have more in one arm than the other. Coolsculpting worked for me and hope it does for you too!

Wanted to include this photo which I think shows the up per arm fat better. Will also post one or more of these 6+ weeks after the rice sure.

Um... I definitely meant "upper" and "the procedure". Stupid autocorrect.

Is today the day for you? Can't wait to hear your update! :)

Is it fat or loose skin? My place said loose skin will not tighten. And they don't encourage doing the arms since most is loose skin not fat?
Thanks

It is fat in my case. No loose skin.

I am looking forward to hear about your experience and results. I have the same upper arm issue and have been considering a plan that can avoid that arm brachioplasty- would love to see pictures! Good luck

Ouch! Waiting for arm 1 to get numb. Took the tech 30+ minutes to get the applicator placed, which was annoying.
