I have always had problems with my stomach area. I live an active lifestyle and eat well for my age however, no matter what I did I could never lose the fat on my abdomen. I also had noticeable cellulite. Coolsculpting worked amazing for me! It was a bit painful, I can't lie.... but oh so worth it! The worst pain was from the 2 minute massage once the applicator was removed. I experienced aching pain, it was not fun. I did swell and bruise up to 2 weeks post treatment. After 2 weeks I still had a slight numbing sensation to the skin, this eventually went away. I started to visibly notice results after 4 weeks, it's like I woke up one morning and was 2 sizes smaller. After 8 weeks it was even better! I am planning on having 2-4 more cycles completed, preferably on my upper abdomen under my breasts where I have 2 small buldges still. Cant wait to update my results after that treatment!

That's great, thank you for sharing! What is painful about the massage?

The massage is just really uncomfortable. You're starting to unthaw basically so when the technician was massaging and breaking a part the crystallized fat you get aches and lots of cramping. It was super tender and sore as well. Not my favourite part!

Just curious, did they use a triangular method on your belly with two applicators up top like an upside down V and one straight across the bottom? That's what they did for me seriously our shapes are so similar!! I'm 5'4" 126 pounds, very fit , with such stubborn belly fat!! It's the only area of my body that I complain about:/

Hi! We are extremely similar just from your description. My applicators were applied more in a diamond shape as I had 4 cycles total. The way my fat tissue was pulled by my technician it was the best treatment plan for me! How are your results this far?

Wow!! Great results! I have a very similar shaped Belly as your before pic. Did you only have the cool sculpting done once? I had it done and saw minimal results the first time. Just had it done for the second time eight days ago. Hoping for that noticeable change

Thank you!! I can't wait to post more pics. I have recently had the second treatment so I'm looking forward to seeing an even bigger difference. I have heard that it can take up to 6 months to see full results, I'm sure your second treatment you will notice a bigger improvement! You must be in a little bit of pain right now!

i just had my lower abdomen done. i was very nervous the massage portion would be uncomfortable. it really wasn't bad at all for me. i am 3 days post procedure & my swelling is minimal. the pain is much less than the day of & day after. i have my fingers crossed that i won't have some of the painful symptoms others have had 5 to 10 days after.

I'm so happy to hear it wasn't too uncomfortable for you! I had a lot of discomfort the week after, very intense cramps and pains throughout the day. I heard not everyone gets those symptoms so my fingers are crossed for you! I hope you see good results in a few months!
