Today makes 2 weeks since the procedure was done. There's nothing new except progress pictures. This new one was from today. Do you see a difference yet? Remember, day 1 you are a bit bloated in the area.

Very professional staff. They tend to be the first in Houston to have the latest techniques in body sculpting and are reasonably priced. I've had a few procedures done with them and will always go back.

Hi CheshireGrl,

From what I have been reading, it takes a full 3 months to see the true results of the procedure.  Will you update us within the next few months again and let us know what you've experienced?

Hi Chesiregrl, So far everything you're experiencing is normal. It is not uncommon for patients to have some minor discomfort with the Zeltiq CoolSculpting applicator due to the pulling of the bulge between the cooling plates which rapidly dissapates as the cooling sets in. Some bruising is possible although in my experience it is generally minimal and short lived. Most patients like you can expect some mild discomfort and a temporary numbness after the procedure. Significant discomfort, though it can happen is unusual and in all cases temporary. Don't fret about not seeing results yet because it generally takes two months to evaluate the results from CoolSculpting and studies have shown that patients can shed fat for upto four months after the procedure. Good luck and I think you will eventually be very pleased with your results because you appear to be a good candidate from your photos.

I am considering this procedure and need to find a practice in Houston that performs zeltiq. Where did you go?

I'm checking in but dont have any new results unfortunately. I'm no longer experiencing the sharp pains and I've resumed exercising which makes me happy. My sides are numb but feel less "jelly". I'll post a pic at the 2 week mark although I doubt there will be a change. This is a waiting game. I weigh 138lbs now.

I know it's only been 3 days since your last update, but anything new to report? I'm debating buying a discounted Zeltiq treatment, but in spite of the discount, it's still expensive. So, I'm doing my homework before I buy, and your posts have been really helpful. I know it takes time for your body to flush out the dead fat cells but just wondering if you think its kicked in?

As long as you understand that it takes time (approx 4 weeks) to see results then that is what is most important. Even though I've already had the procedure done, I still continue to read magazine articles and doctor reviews on coolsculpting and its all the same. Expect a 20% reduction no sooner than 4 weeks after the treatment. I'm looking forward to 2 weeks from now when hopefully I will see a change. I will post a pic tomorrow to show my 2 week progress. Also, its going to depend on your body and your bmi and how well you eat and exercise.

Its a huge investment!! I would love for you to post and show pics and let me know your progress!! Are you doing love handles as well?

Looking forward to your update! And I'll take that 20%! I'm doing lower abdomen. . .had a c-section 11 months ago and just can't get that area back to normal (otherwise I'm in relatively good shape). Not sure I have to courage to post a pic. . . I'll think about it ;-)
