Exercise multiple times per week but nagging fat...

Exercise multiple times per week but nagging fat in midsection and love handles / flanks. Had the lower abs done on February 14, 2014 and then love handles / flanks on March 10, 2014. Have seen some reduction in lower abs already, but still somewhat swollen. Felt good enough about the procedure to try the love handles. Will monitor and report changes here. Doctor, PA and the office were great!!!!

I can definetly see improvement. If you study the pics hard, it appears that your upper abdomen area looks like it responded more to the treatment and maybe the belly button area could use a little more. But overall I do see improvement. Believe it or not they have very simple lipo procedures that can zap that right away. For about the same price that you paid for the cool sculpt! Atleast here at vanity central (California). Great dr's out here. Hope it helps.

I can see a difference in the upper abs four days post.. Do you work your abs outnon a regular basis?

Hi, yes I do work my abs out on a regular basis. I don't really attribute Coolsculpting to the difference that perhaps shows in the picture. Instead, I'm sure it was that the swelling had gone down significantly. I know Coolsculpting has worked for many, but it definitely did not work for me!

4 Days After

Here are some updates 4 days after the love handle treatment and exactly 1 month after the lower ab treatment. Swelling has gone down a bit and pretty much all pain (there was not alot to begin with), numbness and tingling has gone away in all areas that were treated!

Hi there, welcome and thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!

Are you happy with your results now that the swelling is starting to go away?

Hi Kirsty, thanks for the welcome and for the site. Swelling has gone done. I'll post some more pics when I get a chance. I am happy with the results, but as my doctor said, you can't expect miraculous results and it is still less than 2 months from my first treatment. Overall though, I can definitely feel and see flatter abs. The love handles have not shown as much improvement, but I had them done several weeks after The lower abs, so perhaps still too early. I am also continuing to exercise more as well, so both are probably contributing to the lower ab improvement. Anyway, I am happy I decided to try coolsculpting and look forward to continued improvements!

I had the love handles and lower abs. The pain is rough. What did you take for the pain?
