Cool Sculpting Flanks

$3,600
52 year old looking to improve waistline and look better in jeans. Had procedure August 28, 2019. Had 6 applicators applied to flanks, 3 on each side. I believe I paid around $3,600. Procedure was easy. Not too uncomfortable. Was told I would be fine to play in a tennis tournament the following day. This was a mistake because I pulled a groin muscle during play. I assume this was because of the stressed muscles due to the procedure. I had a partial groin muscle tear and missed most of my tennis season and spent 6 week in PT. I would not recommend exercising for several days post treatment.
I was numb and tender for a couple of weeks after treatment. I massaged the area and sometimes wore a compression garment. After a few weeks, I was not noticing any results and felt very discouraged. However, at my 3 month follow up appointment I was able to see the changes when comparing the before and after photos. I think if I could afford 2-3 more treatments I might be satisfied. At this point I'm still not sure it was worth $3,600, but if it was half that, I would do it again.

You look incredible! What's your best advice for someone doing the same? I just bought 8 cycles for my flanks and am scared. What kind of compression garment? What else helped? Thanks so much!

I just used one of the athletic Velcro waist wraps that I bought at TJ Maxx for $6. Get the 12 inch one (unless you're short). You will sweat under it but I think that is good. I also started using a 40K cavitation device that I think has helped. I didn't start this until about 6 months after coolsculpting though so not sure about doing it right after. Just know that your results will be very subtle if you're only doing one session. I would like to do more but it's just too expensive.

Thanks for the tips. My 8 cycles are for $3,300. (Summer of covid sale?) By photo she recommended 2 on each side twice. (60 days apart) I wonder now if they will try and sell the extra cycles. Hmm. I think you look great. I hope I'm as fortunate.
