WORTH IT$1,170
Last Monday i went to my doc for BA postop appt as well as getting my pre and post pics of my arms. I would have to say it was worth it, the only bummer is that I forgot to ask for a post pic of my arms down because I thats the part i dislike the most. Anyway one thing I can notice right away is that the part that cannot be pinched still has more fat. While I was there I had a spot done on my abs, it was a small fat deposit from previous traditional lipo, about the size of a cookie on my right side above my belly button. They used a new flat hand piece, and since it did'nt hurt as much as the coolfit applicator i thought the results would not be as good as the arms. But i was wrong! I noticed a difference by the time I got home (4 hour drive). I have been wearing my old compression garment and so far that has helped with the numbness feeling. If today was 2 months post, I'd already be happy! Also, i don't have any bruising which I did bruise a bit with the arms. Anyway I'm super excited to try this on other small trouble spots! If they do come out with the double chin applicator I will be first in line!

I think it worked?

First, sorry I haven't updated, i had full intentions of updating right at 2 months which is when you are supposed to see final results. A few of my coworkers who were tracking my results have told me they coukd totally see a difference, i think i can see it too but up until last week the jury was really still out. :) a few weeks ago i visited my hometown, San Diego and it was pretty warm so i wore lots of sleeveless dresses and shirts. During my visit i mentioned to my sister that i had tried this coolsculpting thing and she didn't really say much about how my arms looked she seened more interested in the technology and science behind the procedure or so I thought! I figured she didnt comment because she didnt see a difference, its not like her to not voice her mind! I love her! Fast forward to last week, she calls me in the middle of the day and i didnt answer so she decides to text me. She wanted to know what that procedure was called because she thought my results looked great, she saw them right at the 2 month mark. Anyway i was kind of shocked, she isn't one to sugarcoat :). She has pretty much told all her friends about it and has shown them my pics. It was kind of funny, i was recommending a doctor in San Diego I've never met but i really like his before & after pics and i like all of his answers he posts to RealSelf, so in a way I feel like I can thank him this way for taking the time to answer our questions! Sorry about the long story but hearing it from my sister really convinced me that it worked. I have been working out too, but not nearly as much as i should. I have an appointment next month with my dr and I will get to see my before and afters at last! Will update again then.

I had my arms done yesterday! And I'm sore today.
I only took some before pictures I forgot to take some measurements and by the time I made it home I was swollen :/... Did you by any chance take before and after measurements?
June 3, 2015
I did take measurements but i really dont remember which part of my arm i measured so i just have to go by how they look :(

Hi! Do you remember if you were swollen and if so, for how long you were swollen? I am in a wedding in 3 weeks and can’t decide if I should risk doing this with only 3 weeks to heal. I’m totally not expecting to see results by the wedding, but also do NOT want to be swollen as I am already self conscious of my arms!!

At 3 weeks I can see a difference!
S75girlMarch 27, 2015
As I mentioned before I measured and wrote down the info but I failed to write down if I measured at the biggest, smallest or middle part of my arm. So I don't really know for sure but to me they do look slimmer. i will be excited to see my before & afters since those pics are taken from the same angle and distance. Here are some I took today.

How exciting!!
I am going in for my consultation tomorrow and I cant wait!

April 16, 2015
Thank you, consultation went great, I was told I was a good candidate for cool-sculpting and Yes, I will be freezing that fat soon. Finally! ha-ha.

thanks for posting it's really hard to find lipocooling arm reviews hope your allergic reaction clears up take care
April 17, 2015
It was really hard for me to find reviews for arms too but I figured that if my doctor and other well respected doctors were offering it, might be worth giving it a shot. If anything it's inspired me to work my arms out more :)
April 15, 2015
Can you post more pictures , it's over two months now do you see the difference now .
April 16, 2015
Tomorrow, Thursday will be 6 weeks. I feel like i can see a difference but since I didn't take good measurements I don't know for sure. I will post new pics this weekend. I've been dealing with a horrible unrelated to CS allergic reaction so not feeling up to the pics right now :).

Hello! I hope your coolsculpting procedure is working out well for you! I also have disproportionate arms, and often call myself a rumanian wrestler because they are thick and muscular looking, but I know it's muscle with FAT. So I got the cool sculpt done myself about 6 weeks ago. (I am not a candidate for lipo due to having have an axillary dissection after breast cancer and surgery). Anyhow, my arms are a half inch smaller on both sides! I highly recommend doing regular (as in several times a day) lymphatic massage on yourself to work the dying fat out of your arm/body. You can look on Youtube for several examples of how to perform this on yourself.
Good luck!

Kdhayes, thank you, yes, the massages are a great tip. I've been using one of those handheld massage things and it does help! I also applied compression and I think that helped. Exciting to go check out your review! Hopefully you took better measurements then I did :).
April 17, 2015
Oops! I didn't leave a review! But I will-if I can get pre-pictures from dr Soto's office. I took good measurements AND it is a visible change.
May 28, 2015
Looking into this!!! Can you update now that its been a few months? This is the only good review for arms!! thanks
May 29, 2015
Hi! Yes, I will update here shortly with pictures. Just trying to figure out my new phone :)

Hi! Thank you for the review. Do you remember if you were swollen and if so, for how long you were swollen?
