I am 32 years old and my problem has been stomach bulges since having children. No matter how much I exercised or watched my diet the fat bulges have remained. While I am not quite ready for surgery, I was ready for something to get rid of my problem.

I heard about the New Zeltiq Procedure and was instantly excited to hear that something was out there and could address my issue. Dr. K explained to me that the cells are frozen and crystallize and as they slowly die my bulges will appear less full! This was a non invasive procedure that took only two hours and allowed me to relax while playing games on my phone and I was even able to eat my lunch! There was NO pain and NO downtime, I went back to work immediately! This technology is amazing!..

It will take about six weeks to see the final results, I have waited for years so 6 weeks is a walk in the park. I will update with photos in 6 weeks. Thank you Dr. K!

is this treatment permanent? meaning once the fat cells are removed by the body, will they return? is this exactly like liposuction where the fat cell are gone for good?

The fat that is treated with Zeltiq is generally about 22% permanently reduced (gone). The remaining fat cells can get bigger if you gain weight. It is similar to lipo in that aspect.

How can you say the treatment is worth it without even seeing results?

I honestly don't understand how Realself can publish a review like that.

Hey ocmom77,

It's been much longer then 6 weeks, how did everything go? Do you have those pictures you had mentioned we would love to see them.

Thanks for your post and please keep us updated!

Hi there,

It turned out well. I am one of those individuals that had more volume & will need another treatment in order to achieve the desired result. I wish I would have done my sides at the same time; my sides appear more prominent due to my abdomen decreasing in volume.

Well, going back isn't bad, at least you know it will turn out ok. Will you write more to in this review when you go back?

Does the Dr. just "mark" the area and then the assistant does the rest or should the Dr. do everything?
