53 Years Old and Disgusted with my FUPA

Ideal Image lost the case.

$2,550
As you know I was dissatisfied with the outcome from my cool sculpting done by Ideal Image. Will need list to say I did file a civil case against them just to recover my money. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t sue anybody for anything. I won my case and was awarded a refund. It wasn’t as hard as People said it would be.

Very helpful, but am so sorry you had to go through all this. Good luck in the future. Here’s a hug
,Yes, thank you for sharing your experience! I, too, wish you good luck with a big hug.
can you please share if there was any effect on your pubic hair ?
No I didn’t have any issues with the hair in that area.

7 months post procedure

I have been away from updating because I was just so disgusted and depressed because of this procedure. I did a lot of research regarding my procedure and it’s failing results as well as all the discomfort I experienced. I even got my family physician involved. Well the outcome is, while I am feeling better physically , my area has worsened. The cool sculpting didn’t work at all. Even at my 3 month post procedure with ideal image, they admitted I had no results. Mind you I was promised at least 20% difference. All they tried to do was charge me an additional $2550 and try it again.

I have since learned that cool sculpting is for people with small amounts of stubborn fat and ideal image should have never even told me that they could help with my issue. So boo ideal image for ripping me off because I seemed desperate.



I am now scheduled to have smart lipo for my upper and lower abdomen with focus on my pubic mound. I will begin another review of how this works. I am very confident that this will make me happy.

6 days post procedure

The swelling has gone down a bit but not enough to be convinced yet that I did the right thing. I contact the facility to advise about my severe swelling and their response was to just wait it will go down. I couldn't even put pants on because of the swelling. But now I have decided to take measures in my own hands. I am putting heat packs in 20 minute sets. I wear spanks 2 sizes smaller than usual and then put my waist trainer on but instead of putting it around my waist I put it lower on my lower back around to my pubic area. I wear both when I go out and wear the waist trainer all day long even to bed. I have been drinking over a gallon of water daily. with this I have been losing the swelling. I do pee so much that itshard to go out much. I also massage myself 3 times a day. This is all thanks to me researching options and not because Ideal Image gave me any assistance to address my concerns.
