Not Worth It, So Much Worse Now...

ORIGINAL POST

Not Worth, So Much Worse Now...

$1,200

I went in for CoolSculpt under my chin, it pulled the skin and was very painful. It's now been over a year and my once double chin is now a triple chin, it is so much worse. I emailed the company and got no response. Do not waste your money. I did several areas and it made it worse on almost all of them!!!

You have PAH. It is supposed to be rare. But it doesn't seem to be that rare!
CoolSculpting left me disfigured. My small tummy is now huge. I also contacted the company and no response.
Mine too. It’s probably 3 times bigger than it was. What a waste of time and money.
Me too. Their not going to do anything b/c they already have your money
You need to work directly with the spa you had treatment at. Hopefully they took good before and after photos. CoolSculpting (the company) will actually pay for your liposuction if you have true PAH. They do require good before and after photos so they can determine if thats what you have.
Did you contact the practice where you had the treatment done?
They no longer have the machine and didn't really seem to care
You might have had also loose skin also, apart from fat under chin. Coolsculpting will melt fat only but will leave loose skin if there is already some of it. They should have also added some sessions like hifu to tighten the area. IMHO
I had the same results with my back fat. It was so painful. I also had my arms done and that was the worst pain out of all. Was popping extra strength tylenol every 30 min because I was in so much pain and nothing helped with the pain. I suffered for days only to hardly see results on my arms.

However, my back fat eventually went away and looked very nice. I work in an office so I’m always sitting down and also dont go to the gym due to medical reasons. The fat came back but double the size!! The rest of my body is pretty much the same but the back fat is larger and definitely more noticeable than before.

Im 5’6” 185lbs, no kids, and even at this weight I have never had a belly hang out or anything but now my back rolls hang a little. Its as if Coolsculpting loosened that skin with all that pulling of the skin so now it hangs a little.

I already had a feeling that if an instrument is going to pull your skin for about an hour, wouldnt that interfere with the elasticity of the skin?

For example, pregnant women who have lose skin after giving birth. Some women are lucky with great genetics and don’t suffer from lose skin. But those of us that do probably should stay away from Coolsculpting. Because all that pulling of the skin is not only painful and uncomfortable but also damaging to the skin with results showing lose skin within a year or even months later.

All my friends who have considered Coolsculpting, I just show them my back and tell them not to waste their money.
Oh btw Ive had lipo 3 years ago and never suffered from lose skin. I opted for Coolsculpting as a non-invasive and faster healing vs going under the knife again and having to take time off work. Also because I didn’t have enough fat to do lipo so the doctor recommended Coolsculpting only for the small areas that had a little more fat (such as my back fat under my bra and my arms)

I will never do Coolsculpting again and rather have lipo and suffer that pain but actually see results without my skin getting pulled and ruined.

Currently I’m 33 years old so I shouldn’t have my back fat sag more than my breast. My breast are real at 34DD they are still holding up pretty nice even though Im a little overweight for my height. After having the fat come back on my back I now have to wear a 36DD bra due to the bulges on my back made it bigger and I can no longer fit in a 34 band.
