Friday will be 3 weeks post for my left side and today is 2 weeks post for my right. What do you think? I feel like the sides look a little smaller, however I feel like my abs look fatter and kind of twisted in a weird way. I did eat a lot this weekend so not sure. Would love your thoughts. As for pain, tenderness gone, slightly numb.

It's hard to tell because the photos are taken at different angles, but I can kind of see what you're saying about your abs. They look a bit 'swollen' and crooked. I had a spot on my abs that looked like it got 'missed' during my liposuction 10 years ago, but it's not really noticeable now. Is wearing a compression garment after CoolSculpting recommended? I think I would, regardless.

I didn't wear one mostly bc I had no pain and I didn't do any part of my abs. Will take another pic in a week or so.

It's way too early, so don't get discouraged! I treat people every day with coolsculpting and its normal to see swelling for up to 3-4 weeks. After that you will turn a corner. I do my after photos at 12 weeks.

So it's been almost 2 weeks since I did my left side, and a week from the right side. I wanted to that both sides are still tender to touch but nothing more. I also feel like the left side actually looks smaller. Going to take pics on Friday and post. Wanted to mention something that might be a coincidence but might be the flu-like symptoms I heard about. I wrote previously that 6 days in from my first side (the left side) I became exhausted needed to nap. Well, strangely enough, yesterday - same thing happened only this time I got a weird stomach ache. Had to sleep it off. And it was the same amount of time from my right side procedure. Soooo ... while it only lasted a couple of hours and only that one day, there seems to be a pattern. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning. Could be coincidence but never have felt so tired and not so well that I had to nap in middle of day. Will post soon.

Had my tummy area done 8 days ago. Had a similar experience on day 6. VERY TIRED AND HAD TO NAP. Last night (DAY 7) was the worst night I've had. Very itchy and restless. Found a cold wash cloth applied to area seemed to help. Not hurting too much but very itchy.

So it's been 10 days post on left side and 5 days post on right. If anyone is thinking of doing their sides, do it! Just numbness so far and pain to touch at first but both sides have no pain at this point. So now waiting for the results. Would recommend so far and thinking of doing abs at belly button. Will let you all know.

Can't wait to see the photos! Curious about how much it costs, but you probably already posted that figure, so will scroll through :)

Oddly enough - its been 7 days since I did my rear flanks and it's still tender. No bruising, very limited swelling but definitely still tender, and I have some aches in that area. I didn't experience that with my thighs, my abdomen or my upper flanks, just these ones.
