An update here.
My shape definitely benefited from Coolsculpting, but can I say it was worth it? Not really. The price is very high for minor changes. Ultimately, 8 years later, I wish I had just sprung for liposuction. I may still do that!

Note that the area above my belly button was not treated, hence the lack of change to that area specifically. The treatment was made to my lower abdomen and sides. I'm going to ask about the upper belly to see if it's viable for treatment. She originally said the fat might be too "hard" in that area and resistant to the process – but that we could reassess once the lower belly was done.

You have certainly become a smaller version of yourself. Wonderful!
Everything I've seen says to wait out the full three months to see final results, so you might even see more results to come. So far, great.
As for me, my skin never snapped back and it's been 12 weeks now. CS worked really well to get my flat belly back again, that was clear at 4 weeks. What I did not have any idea of was that if have loose, sagging skin instead. I did not even have that much to lose. I'm wondering if just one of the smaller applicators would have worked, rather than one of the plus-sized, but at this point, it does not even matter. I'm stuck with this.
I've made the decision to have Thermi Tight done, but that's a long waiting process too (longer than CS) and I can't even get it done for a month. So it's been a real disappointment for me.
Had I known this, I would have just done Thermi by itself, since it can also get rid of fat deposits.
I'm only including this on your thread to warn others who might have similar risk factors as mine, since I mentioned it earlier in the thread. Fair skin, post menopausal= might have sagging skin from CS.
You look great and I hope you continue to see more results. I also don't think your upper ab looks like it needs anything, but wait it out and see what you want to do.
Congratulations!

Huge difference! Yay! You look wonderful. Getting close to switching over to Worth It myself.

So glad you are having good results as well. It's kind of hard to photograph the changes, but I really do feel the difference. I can't remember ever feeling so "flat" on my abdomen before. Obviously there's still some fat there and a second round would be really helpful, but as far as the procedure goes, it works. It's expensive, yes, so "worth it" may be relative depending on your expectations, but it's been worth it for me.

what is thermi tight?
July 20, 2017
do a search on this site. There are lots of reviews (mostly for face, neck, etc). Thermi TIGHT is minimally invasive radio frequency that heats up the dermis from under the skin with a tiny probe injected like lipo tools would be, under the skin. Since it heats up the dermis, it causes your body to contract the collagen and create more, thereby tightening up skin and creating some elasticity.
I did it on my trunk after CS left me with sagging skin. I'm 1.5 weeks post Thermi now, but it takes longer for results to show up. It continues to tighten over the course of 12-18 months.
If I had known the CS would do that to my skin, I would have had the Thermitight instead. It can also melt fat as well as tightening the skin, so I could have taken care of both issues with one procedure.
For post menopausal women, I would think twice about CS and at least get a consult on ThermiTight.
CooaAF, you've shrunk! (And I just now figured out your screen name, lol AF? Very witty ; )
So are you going for another round? Amazing, isn't it? Did yours happen quickly, like overnight? Mine seemed to have happened right at the 4-week mark.
Glad you did not wind up with skin issues!

hi! great updates thanks. i'm about 4 days post procedure, i got the same exact things as you for the same exact reasons :) except on my belly i got 4 smaller ones instead of 2 big ones. i'm also in burbank! your updates are encouraging, my main concern is that there will be nothing to show for my money. i'm also very tender and swollen at this point but really nothing crazy. thanks again!

At 6 weeks, I'm updating my review to "WORTH IT"
I need to post follow-up pictures, but I can tell you that the procedure has worked for me! I am thrilled. It has definitely changed the shape of my belly, flattening the treated areas really nicely. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all. I've just been super busy! But, with the holiday weekend just ahead, I will share my progress. I am so glad I did this.
