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.

3 days shy of 3 weeks and mom says she already notices a difference. I don't know if I notice a difference in my stomach yet, but my back ... I can already tell this is going to work! :) :) :) I can't imagine what it's going to look like in 2-4 months! I'm kind of wondering if I'll have to go another round on my stomach. It was a pretty big problem area...
Back bruising is completely gone, but still sore if you press on it. Feels like a bruise still. Not terrible though... you really have to deliberately press on it for it to hurt. Still moderately numb.
Stomach is, surprisingly, less uncomfortable than my back. In fact, no pain at all. I'm wearing my tightest jeans today which hit me right where I got sucked up... no pain at all. Still slightly numb, but feeling is almost back.
I was told the back would be easier than my stomach. I believe the term was "cakewalk"? Well, while neither was at all terrible, it was definitely my back that has been the most inconvenient. I'm weird. :)
Long term plans: Now that most residual discomfort has subsided, I'm planning on adopting cardio at least 3 times a week and I am going to get the Ab Ripper-X. I've also been dieting since January. So far I've lost 20 pounds. I am hoping to lose at least another 10 before my wedding in September. Just making note of this, as it will more than likely affect my "after" photos -- I only got Coolsculpting done on the places I know will not feel much from the diet and exercise. ;)

A little bummed. Day 15, I gained 2 pounds since the procedure and I've been dieting religiously. My hubby's a good boy and tells me the right answer -- it's the swelling! But the swelling's gone down a long time ago. My back still feels a little firm in the areas that were done, and still a little sore when I press there. Both areas have residual numbness, but it's really not that big of a deal. I don't know why it bothers people so much. Been wearing jeans all the way up. No biggie. Really hope this works. Thinking of getting the Ab Ripper-X and speeding this process along!! LOL

Day 8:

Starting to feel better. The pain I did have peaked on day 6. The worst it ever was was achy spasming and occasional pins-and-needles-type feelings, but they weren't constant. The closest thing I can compare it to is menstrual cramps in your skin, if that makes any sense (it won't for you men!).

Swelling has gone down, so I look exactly like I did last week before I got it done.

It's going to be hard, but I'm going to try not to study myself so much until at least 2 months have passed! Really hoping I get good results.

Very thorough -- doctor, nurses and staff partake in the treatments they prescribe. Offers first-hand opinions, detailed information on expectations, results, processes. Very congenial. Great feedback from patients. I believe this doctor performs procedures for people if its in their best interest -- not his.
