Despite the negative reviews I read, I went ahead with Coolsculpt. I assumed those negative reviewers were overly optimistic and expecting to look like Giselle. I was told I was a perfect candidate, 5'5" and 130 lbs. I have just some extra weight around the middle from kids. I had 3 areas done, upper abs, lower abs and flanks. After $4K and 4 months I saw negligible results - I liken them to a few days without carbs - no change whatsoever on waist size, maintained weight. The Dr. agreed there wasn't much there and offered to do another round on my lower abs and "we'll see if that works before doing more." Round two on the lower abs came and went, only a minor difference this time. After pushing on my part, the Dr. offered to do only one more treatment (they still didn't redo the other sections as promised). Now, I'm a month out from treatment #3. The only change I see is that my stomach is now lumpy, it looks awful. I've never had a lumpy stomach in my life. I have distinct clumps of fat that protrude from my stomach. I am so nervous it will always look this this?! I am so disappointed with Coolsculpt.
I'll add that I had this done around the same time with 3 other friends and my mother, we were at 4 different offices. Not one of us were happy with the results. I'm a lawyer who reviews marketing claims. I am shocked that there's not a class action lawsuit against this company. The advertising is false and misleading. I urge you to not go with Coolsculpt. Perhaps you'd be one of the lucky ones who gets positive results, but for me and my friends it was definitely not worth the money. It may also leave you disfigured. Please save your money and get a personal trainer and nutritionist. Happy to answer any questions.

I am in agreement with you. I sooo want to believe in coolsculpt that i want to try again but then i remi d myself that i had the large applicator across abdomen done, later smaller one upper abdomen and two going on an angle from hip to inner abdomen like a tower, later on one hip and stopped. After let's see $1500. For long one, 1500 total for two vertical ones, 750.00 upper oh then a freebee across abdomen and finally one hip( I wanted to see if there was really a change) and the result was a little on upper abdomen above ribcage, but not enough to justify all my hard earned money. So as much as I want to believe in it I can't. I am not flabby but had to stop working out in 2014,but I did walk. The only way at my age that I got smaller was eating a little and no snacking. I lost 10 pounds and feel good. Really take your own measurements and pictures to truly see for yourself.

I had my cool sculpting four weeks ago and showing zero results! So disappointed that I believed all the lies! If I was a lawyer, I’d for urge sue for my $5000 back!

I had 8 coolsculpting treatments. Yes they managed to part me with over $2400.00. Didn't mind spending the $$$ if the treatment(s) worked, however; in my opinion it's total scam. Shame on you Zeltiq and promoters of "Coolsculpting" for scamming people out of their $$$. I'm totally onboard with a classaction suit. Don't do it even if you think it'll work for you. It won't. Trust these comments.

All coolscupting did for me is stretch and disfigured my abdomen, of course the blame was placed on me. Doctor then later said I was a better candidate for liposuction ,so why the misleading? I would have gotten liposuction instead! I’m 5 years post and still stretched and and bulged.
