DAY 1--37 Year Old, 2 Kids. Fit--w Love Handles

ORIGINAL POST

$950
I eat healthy, exercise hard, mostly organic, no alcohol. I am strong and have a good shape, but my love handles never fade. 5'6", 140 lbs.
They had a "flabby abs" package, that included 4 pads. I had one on each flank and two on abs (one horizontal then vetrtically). My fat is very soft and pulled into the vacuum easily. The esthetician said it never worked as well for her because her fat was more stiff. She showed me and I could see why.
It was a little uncomfortable but no pain. I had to breath kinda shallow cause my skin was pulled tight. Other than that, no pain during or after. A weird numb feeling and really cold to the touch. No pain, even during massage.
I have hickeys where that pads were.
No pain later today either. I will update as time goes by.

OMG, you have no love handles! That's your skin getting pinched by the panties. It's just skin, no extra fat, please dont stress about it.

To each his own. The fat on my love handles is very soft. When I wear low rise jeans I get muffin top, and I don’t wear them particularly tight. Cool sculpting was meant for people my size, with stubborn fat in areas that won’t budge.

Have you seen any changes?

I haven’t seen any yet. I stayed partially numb on my belly for almost five weeks. I was going to wait until 2 months to do follow up pics, but I will take some in the morning and post. I did the last pics first thing in the morning and I’d like to get as close as possible to same time of day and lighting

Thank you! I’m just looking for some honesty. My plastic surgeon said I’m not a candidate for a tummy tuck but suggested this. It’s definitely not cheap and I’m reading such mixed reviews but I have the highest hopes for you!

my 2 cents, please dont waste $ on such procedures, just go for the real deal ie liposuction ( chose a very experienced plastic surgeon). I had liposuction 10 years ago, since then I gained 15 pounds and still my results are very well maintained.

my above comments was meant for jam501. I know I have mentioned this before but Broom37, I dont see any extra fat on you.

$950 for 4 applicators sounds very low. Many others have posted that they paid $750 per applicator. This pricing doesn't make sense for the coolsculpting brand. I think you look great though, in the before and after pics!

I just looked up the facility with the flabby abs package. They're not advertising the coolsculpting brand. Are you certain they used coolsculpting machines on you?

omg I just realized that they didn’t specify Coolsculpting. I swear I’ve heard their radio ads specifically calling it Cool Sculpting!

That is 100% without a doubt a fake CoolSculpting system. My boyfriend works for Allergan and I’ve been to many events and seen the machine/treatment done several times, even the old applicators looked nothing like that. You should contact Allergan they might be able to offer you coupons or rebates to put towards a real CS procedure. Go watch what the real applicators look like on YouTube.

After reading up on it, I see how the far machines aren’t worth it. I actually had it redone with the actual CoolSculpting system about three weeks ago. Just love handles. I’m going to see if there is a difference.

Follow up: I had 1 cycle of coolsculpting on my lower abdomen and each flank.525 per applicator. I was happy with results for a year or two but the lower belly pooch came back. I exercise/eat reasonably well and have been the same size for 20+ yrs. My friend had coolsculpting on her arm/bat wings. Not sure what she paid. But the fat came back for her also after a year or so, and she felt her arms looked worse.

your body is beautiful you have no fat or handles, your legs are slim you are slender don’t mess with something that isn’t broken

If I had no fat, then nothing would have been sucked up into the applicator pad. In no way am I saying that I’m fat. CoolSculpting is meant for stubborn fat areas, which I DO have.
