Cool sculpting Abdomen

I finally got to try Coolsculpting this last November. I have lost about 30 lbs over the last few years and I’ve been working out, but I have “mom pooch” that I wanted gone. Four areas on my abdomen were treated with the newer/ larger applicators. The discomfort during treatment wasn’t as bad as I expected. Once it got really cold, the area became numb and I was able to take a nap. In the days and weeks after, I did experience good deal of numbness/ tingling/ discomfort, especially the first 2-3 days. Whew. It hurt to wear pants. It did gradually subside, but it took at least several weeks. I started to work a bit, but then I read that persitent numbness and tingling in the abdomen was somewhat common. It is now completely resolved. The results? Good, but not life-changing. From what I know, regular liposuction is a better value, although it’s more invasive and seems riskier. I liked the convenience and ease of Coolsculpting. I was able to get special pricing and I paid about $2000 for my abdomen. See the photos for yourself. The B&W photo is the before and after taken at the clinic. The others are immediately after the procedure, and show a good degree of swelling, and the last three were taken a full three months after the procedure.
