Beware!!! Side effect they don't tell you about!
$3,600
It has been almost 6 months since my last treatment. a week ago I found a pea sized lump under my left breast. I was scared it was cancer so I went to the doctor and they did an ultrasound and it turned out to be lipoma which is non cancerous. It's a fatty tumor. my aunt asked me if this could have been from CoolSculpting because it's in the area I had a treatment done. I told her I never even thought about that so I did a Google search "lipoma after coolsculpting" and was mortified about how many results came up! I was lucky mine is only pea sized as many have golf ball sized lipomas! I'll never do this treatment again. Lipomas should be listed as a possible side effect!

6 months post treatment
I've been walking 4.5 miles every day and I think that contributed to the little progress you see. I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon and he said I was definitely not a candidate for cool sculpting and I wasted $3,600 that could've gone towards a tummy tuck.
I've always wanted a TT but was scared of surgery and thought cool sculpting was the non invasive answer, but for the money, it didn't give me good results and now I know why....I was too heavy for it and not a good candidate. They said I was and took my money anyway.

Sorry to hear this happen to you. Sucks to come across a dishonest & greedy Dr. I'm glad you came across another Dr. that sounded more honest. Good Luck on your journey! Keep exercising as well!

I feel like I see decent progress when flipping through your pictures of the side angles. You should make a side by side! But I do definitely agree that maybe for that money you may have been hoping to be 100% flat tummy and that may have not been what you got.

6th and final treatment....For now
8 weeks after my last procedure I finally got my final block of time done today on the midsection area of my stomach. Today I got to see their before and after pictures and I am so thrilled! I already knew there was a change I could see it in the mirror and feel it in my clothes but seeing their before pictures with today's after pictures just reinforced what I already knew. Yes, this procedure is expensive depending on how many you get I had a total of 6, but for me it is worth not having the surgery, the downtime, and the pain associated with all of that. When I pay off the first set of treatments, I plan to get another round because I I am confident another round of treatments on each area will totally eliminate my problem areas!

I think I have changed my mind about not loving my body now. I got a good look at my tummy and I looks great. I feel joy and excitement about it. I have HATRD the was my center has looked for the past 8 years. I hide and wear flowing tips and was always very down on myself. After what I just saw.... I may even consider a bikini!!! Omg I am excited!!!

Shae, it's okay to be scared about getting a TT, but I'll help you along to way. You can inbox at any time. Also, you need to make sure that you are 100% comfortable with your PS and his results.

As you can see Sexy, I tried cool sculpting. I spent $3,600 thinking it would show a significant difference. The Dr I saw for my TT consult was outraged that they said I was even a candidate and that they took my money. He said he was tempted to write their office. It's funny because I thought I was happy with my results until he said that. Oh well, onwards and upwards!
I'll post one for TT soon, thank you.
