Coolsculpting did NOT work for me!

Well, I went in today for my 4 months post. Even the 'nurse' didn't see a lick of difference. My weight has stayed the exact same for 4 months as well. She told me she will forward my photos to the doctor to see 'what the next step is'. She was baffled as well. Not only do I NOT see any sliming - I look bigger in the after photo! I'm wondering if the machine was even plugged in at this point. She told me the doctor was on vacation and he will call me next week to discuss....can't wait to hear what he has to say....I couldn't be more disappointed...

Please provide an update about the resolution because you paid a lot of money for this sculpting process without results. I am starting to doubt if I want to do Coolsculpting or not. Thanks and good luck!

I have called 3 times already in the last 3 weeks and the receptionist keeps telling me that the doctors have not 'had a chance to review my case yet.' They told me I should here something by the end of this week. BUT that's the second time they've told me that! I am going to wait until tomorrow (that will be 3 weeks) and then I am going to file a report with the Better Business Bureau and possibly get a lawyer. Every time I make a payment on my MasterCard I want to cry.

IS THIS CLOWN DR YOUNG SERIOUS!!! You've posted how disappointed you are about your results and wasted money and I'm really reading the post under the last comment of Dr Young commenting that his patient coordinator Leslie is excellent! WTF! What about his patient? What response does he have for his patient and patient's readers???

Read my comment below - it's been THREE WEEKS of phone call after phone call and they keep saying that the doctor has not reviewed my case yet. What??????? This is the biggest scam ever. I have NEVER even SEEN Dr. Young and I'm not sure he even exists!!

Your areas are identical to mine....; I am so sorry you have not seen results. It seems after this much time either the machine malfunctioned or treatment was not correct. Surely you will be reimbursed for some/if not all of the fee.

Dr. Young is not even returning my calls after 3 weeks of messages. This is a disgrace.

Your stomach, although not flat looks firm. What if you have some condition causing your pooch. My friend abdomen was sore after riding on a roller coster and the bar going across her stomach. The pain didn't go away, finally after seeing a doctor, etc...come to find out she had a non-cancerous tumor the size of a bowling ball in there. Take care!

I feel like you were totally mislead and given wrong info :( From what I've been told the same area needs to be treated a minimum of 4 times to get noticeable results. I'm so sorry this happened to you, I really hope they rectify their mistake.

Not one bit of difference :(

I went into for 2 months + 1 week post. Not one bit of difference - weight is 144 pounds - I could just cry. I'm out $3900. The med. assistant told me to stop back in another month and we will "take it from there..." she was not pleased with my 'lack of' results as wel...

I feel your pain - not only the time but the money invested. I have really struggled with some of the other reviews that show results 3 weeks or 1 month later. I'm going into 2 1/2 months and not seeing what I hoped. I wasn't looking for a miracle, but just a difference. The nurse told me 4 full months.. what else am I gonna do at this point?
September 18, 2015
Hmmm - my 'nurse' (more like a receptionist) told me final results in 3 months - when I questioned her on this - (and told her I heard 4 months) she again stated 3 months. either way - it's killing me that I spent $3900 and see absolutely no results. I'm not sure what they will do for me in another month - maybe offer another treatment? But I'm not sure I want to go through that again!

That is a lot of money. You should get your money back. Take them to court or something. They should at least give you half of it.

Yes you should get your money back I would sue. Also I think some of these women who have traumatic experiences loose weight (I can see it in their photos) they show how they have lost the belly fat, but you can clearly see that they have lost weight all around. I think this cool sculpting may be a bit mental.

Did you sign a disclaimer when you had this done? I am sure you did because Dr's know all fat responds differently. Some fat cells actually get worse and larger causes the area to become hard lumpy and even bigger. Someone needs a good lawsuit going to make these Dr's highlight this fact to all patients. I firmly believe many of the positive results are from folks who diet afterwards and loose a few pounds. I know I have studied the pics and see that the whole body looks slimmer, is is like a freudian effect.

Does the office you go to do second treatments at 4 weeks? I am surprised you have not seen results. I would hold judgement until the 12 week mark.
September 18, 2015
They never mentioned that, but they did say they will 'play it by ear' if I come back in and there is no results after 3 months - so I'm thinking it may be more treatments? My 12 weeks will be Oct 8th. Does something quickly happen in the last few weeks? I am so upset about this whole thing. Isn't this procedure supposed to be guaranteed?
November 6, 2015
I hate this for you, but thanks for sharing your experience. I wonder if different body types or if the technician didn't do something correctly. There should be SOME type of guarantee for some reduction in inches or something.
