CoolSculpting is bad, don’t do it

ORIGINAL POST

Coolsculpting is bad, don’t do it

$4,000
Before my coolsculpting procedure, I researched and most people said they had positive results not knowing those people were obviously below 170lbs. I was 180lbs and I’m 5.7”. After my procedure at ideal image with Zeltiq, I did the massage n followed the rightful advice of eating well and dieting. Ladies it is a scam believe me. Instead, within a year of my procedure, I had the opposite of what was advertised. The dates of my procedure and after dates are on the pictures. I’m in so much regret because no doctor can help me at this point. My body is completely destroyed and the pictures don’t lie. I tried to cut out the sagging abdomen area, back rolls and do liposuction on the areas I did coolsculpting. I decided to do liposuction a year after coolsculpting because my body was just too horrible to carry around. Friends and family noticed I looked worse and even asked if I was pregnant or under contraception. After a year of my liposuction, I had scar tissue grown in those areas which I can’t remove because the doctors I met said it will only grow back. I’m beyond sad and full of regrets! All doctors encouraging patients to do coolsculpting on this sites with no side effects are only talking for their pockets and it’s unbelievable. I had coolsculpting thinking it’s a non surgical form to reduce fat cells but I ended up getting surgery and scars that will never go away. I’m so hurt I hate looking at my body in the mirror and wish I had my old body instead or wish a doctor can help. I will include my before and after photos of coolsculpting. And probably include my photos of liposuction later on. So don’t do it ladies. As of today! 09/14/2018, Im 216lbs. I went For my liposuction one year follow up and the doctor said there are many women who even have worst outcomes than me from coolsculpting and I’m lucky to have my liposuction remove from fat sagging skin. But my scar tissues will be on my back rolls :( if I have him cut it out, I will be left with two visible surgery scar at my back so I can’t wear a bikini or a open back if I do it. I’m left with the option to work out and see if I get any changes or sty it’s my back rolls forever if I don’t want surgical scars there. So ladies!!!! Do your liposuction instead or tummy tuck and thank me later!

Thanks for this?
You’re welcome
Thanks I was just considering it. Best of luck
I would never consider CoolSculpt. Come on ladies! Many of you have survived the pain of childbirth. Just get liposuction. Also, I had a wonderful facelift with Dr. Kevin Cross in Philadelphia about five years ago--he harvested some fat from my belly and injected into my face. I wish I could afford round #2 with him-on pension & SS. Not yet!
I am fighting with Allergan and Sedwick right now to avoid what your going through. They are trying to force me into liposuction. Dealing with PAH is rough and I feel your pain.Did you pay for you liposuction or did Allergan?
I am so sorry that happened to you. I have a review on the same subject but I guess I shouldn’t feel so bad about myself!
No I did liposuction but I have scar tissues ....so I have to do a critical diet plan or do sleeve surgery
I am having a Tummy Tuck to remove the PAH (Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia). From reading reviews, it seems that people who used Lipo to correct PAH from Cool Sculpting have experience what you have or had to go for another round. The that grows is thick and fibrous so I wouldn't think that regular lipo would help. Have you done research on PAH?
No I haven’t. Thanks girl! I’m about to google the hell outta PAH lol....i was thinking of sleeve surgery ...where your appetite reduces
Just so you know the areas affected by cool sculpting cant be fixed by workings out. Even if you lost weight those areas will still be there. If your uncomfortable with the back rolls now, what the difference with having a scar. Theres scar therapy like embrace maybe it wont be as bad as you think. Im having a Tummy Tuck to cut the growth area out since I don't want to risk it with lipo and I am going to try embrace scar therapy. Ill let you know how it goes.
No I don’t wanna do scar therapy :( I have a scar from liposuction and I’m not happy at all. Do u have kids? I don’t have kids so I’m scared of tummy tuck.
I have four kids. I get what your saying. I'm terrified to have it myself! But I have no choice. Embrace Scar therapy is just a patch that goes over the incision area after it closes
Oh now I understand. I didn’t know embrace scar therapy was a patch lol. But I have no kids I don’t want to do tummy tuck
Then you shouldn't. You should post updated pics if possible. Did you research PAH?
Do you think you could live with your results? No need to keep letting them mess with your body if you can live with it. You had a great starting point before the CS. If the lipo got you closer to that your lucky :)
Yes Infact I remember PAH! The company actually settled me with some money for lipo and that was what I used to get my Lipo done . I will post an afte pics of lipo....but I haven’t been going to the gym but I’m better than before.
Good I’m glad you got taken care of!
But I’m not exactly back to how I was...I still have sagging tummy which is scar tissue problem.i don’t know what to do to
You know you may be able to ask them to pay for another round. When did you get the lipo? I've heard it takes more than one round to get rid of it or people have gotten scar tissue from getting lipo to get rid of it.
