So let me start by saying I had lipo of my lower abdomen, muffin top area and thighs. All went well. Recovery was well. After, I develops a dent on either side of my belly button. My dr said he could be the hard tissue that's still healing and we'd decide what to do on my third post op appointment. So when I went I again he suggested cool sculpting. I wasn't really concerned about losing fat but more about getting rid of the dent. (I'll post pics) so yesterday was my appointment for cool sculpting. We decided to go with a triangle shape around the belly button on the smallest cool sculpting suction thing( the one that's small and straight)
I sat up on their comfy chair, she put the gel on and then the device. It was just a lot of suction at first but then hurt. She said it would go away within 10 min because of the cold numbing. I waited 20. I was in so much pain that I started to get hot, nauseous and felt awful. It didn't get better, it got worse. I had tears rolling down my face. Let me say that I think I have a high pain tolerance, I've had a bay, I have a whole arm and other areas of tattoos, I was fine with the recovery of my lipo even though I was basically a walking bruise so I have no idea what was going on. She stopped it and said it as a very abnormal reaction. What got me is that AFTER the device as off it felt like it was still on for a good 15min, I was still in sooooo much pain. In the end we decided that I'd come back and take pain medication before trying it a second time. I just don't know why it hurt so bad especially after reading other reviews on here. Was it cause I just got my period, maybe I was bloated? Maybe cause the tissue as hard under my belly button from the lipo? They said it shouldn't be a problem. I was a also sitting up and a lot of these pictures look like people were more flat? I have no idea. Any input would be great. I was so nervous to try again.
Ps it wasn't the dr who did the procedure but one of his staff and she really was nice and tried to help me out but it was just to much pain.

I had coolsculpting done last week - 7 days ago and I am in more pain now than ever. The same day of treatment and 1 day after were okay with pain. But day 5, 6 and now 7 are almost unbearable. So much cramping and it just hurts constantly.
The clinic said to wait 2 or maybe more weeks before the pain would go away.

Titan82 I will use when I have my abs done on the 13th. I am hoping and praying my discomfort will not be like some!

Attempt number 2 today

So I'm going back in today to try the procedure again, if you read my previous post, last time they had to stop because the pain was so bad. I'll be taking meds before the procedure today. Getting two of the three areas done. I'll show some before pics.
Hi there, welcome!
I haven't had this procedure myself, but from what I've read, the pain really depends on the individual. A lot of people do say that they take painkillers immediately prior to having the CoolSculpting carried out, maybe that will help next time.
Please do keep us updated with your progress!
