Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Almost 4 months post
A nurse was supposed to review my before/after pictures and call me within 2-3 days. I waited 3 weeks and no one called. I called and left a message and I received a call the next day. She was very nice and apologized for the delay because they are getting backed up. She said she reviewed my pictures and will be submitting a claim to the corporate office to issue me a full refund. I thought "wow, that was easy". She asked me a few questions about any problems I had with the coolsculpting or the aftermath, and asked if I had any questions for her. Now I guess it might be up to the corporate big wigs to decide whether or not to actually give me the refund?? We will see. . .
Follow up Appointment
My coolsculpting was in march, so today i had my 3 month follow up. I measure my waist and weigh myself regularly, there have been zero changes.
The lady who did my follow up was the same person who did my coolsculpting procedure. When I walked in she asked how I felt about the coolsculpting, I was straight forward and said I was not happy at all and had zero results. She said, "well we'll look at the pictures". . .
She took the "after" pictures and was comparing them over and over again to the "before" pictures. She was desperately searching for some kind of visible results, but there were none. She said, "well let me feel your stomach, is it hard fat?" I said "no, it's squishy, has always been". I was told at the consultation I had the perfect kind of fat, the squishy kind. You can't have hard fat. I was the "perfect candidate". yeah right. She agreed my fat was very squishy and said she will have to go talk to n*** (she was the lady who did my consultation, and she was in her office that day). She left and was gone 20 minutes.
She came back and said another lady will be looking over my pictures and contact me via phone call. I'm guessing the technicians and the consultation ladies don't have any authority on what to do next when a client has zero results. So I waited 20 minutes just for her to say she can't do anything about it. Now I have to wait 2-4 days waiting for some lady to call and discuss my options.
So I'm pretty upset I wasted $1360 and didn't even loose 1/2 an inch.
If they recommend I do the procedure again for another 1360 I'll say h*** no. If it's going to happen again it better be for free, even if I don't get any results. Then I'll at least be able to warn you guys out there who have also been told "you're the perfect candidate".
I'm not uploading any "after" photos right now because they look IDENTICAL to the "before" photos.

28 yrs old with lower stomach pooch
Ideal Image, Fox Point WI
Consultation: Free, which is why I chose them. Everyone was nice and all. Sadly they don't offer any kind of "guaranty". I was told (summarized)-only if you are completely unhappy with your results, and if they agree you didn't achieve results, then they will redo the procedure. But even that is not a guaranty, nor would they give you any money back.
I paid for 2 of the smaller "pads" on my lower abdomen. 4 pads would have been around $2500.
Day of procedure. They took lots of pictures, about 8. They did not measure my stomach, which is stupid, but I measured it before hand. They weighed me, which I also think is stupid. The point is to kill fat on my stomach. Even in the consultation, the lady said "if you gain weight, it won't go to your stomach, it will go somewhere else". So why weigh people? Why not take an actual measurement of their stomach, because pictures can be deceiving, they can be altered and manipulated. I made sure to take my own measurements and pictures.
The procedure itself was painless and took 1 hour per pad, they do 1 at a time. So I was there for 3 about hours. After it was over the lady tells me I should wear a compression garment for a few days or weeks, could've told me at the consultation, oh well.
When I left I was fine, went grocery shopping, had lunch, and went to work that night (10 hours later).
One week after cool-sculpting and everything is fine except some weird stomach pains. Not regular cramps or nausea, but feels like sharp, stinging pains, IN the fat of my stomach. My skin still also has the numb feeling. But nothing serious. No results yet.
