$4,500
I am making my last post as doctor and coolsculp have stated 2 months is when we notice results. In all honesty after 2 large apps and 2 small apps on abs and belly and 2 small apps on flanks, at $4500 for a guess at 15% fat loss and 1 inch around waist and same weight after 2 months since of gym 3-4x a week with heavy cardio and restricted caloric intake, this procedure is not for me. I will have lipo and do whole back and front of torso and despite one week downtime and none with coolsculpt I look at long term results. Financially the same price in the end but sculptured results that I desire with lipo and etching. I will post this surgery in 2 months when I have it done.
Pics at 7 weeks are same as 8 weeks. If you want to try coolsculpt stick with one app test first. I went with 6 expecting more. Good luck to all!!!

I see a difference, but when many areas are to be done you probably are correct by having lipo. Pricing for any type of procedure is variable by PS, expertise, country and area of country. I'm in Chicago and my PS fee for CoolSculpt is $750 per session (1 hour). My opinion (for myself) there are no "deals" in plastic surgery - you get what you pay for. Surgery isn't where one skimps or looks for a coupon. I wish you luck in your surgery and the CoolSculpt will continue to get better, I believe that your body will continue to flush out fat cells for up to four to six months after procedure.
Perhaps, by the time you are ready for your lipo your body might not need quite as much lipo as if you didn't do CoolSculpt. Sometimes we are our toughest critics. Have you taken the very first photo and matched it to a "today" photo without all the inbetween shots? You might be very happily surprised. Much success in your journey.

I agree and thank you for your comments. I think I should have asked myself first, "would I be happy with 20% loss?" -- seems I expected more and my expectations will lead me to ab, pec etching and lipo. Coolsculpture will add up to about the same price but a lot more pain with lipo but results that I really am looking for. Probably coolsculpt is good for small areas of fat pouches but for a full front and back ^^ some of us need the old metal. They wont be really abs but that is ok with me :)

6 weeks since my procedure. Swelling went away after a few weeks and these are my results at 6 weeks post-procedure. I will update at 8 weeks, 2 month mark and you can decide.

How do you like your results? You are doing lipo in Dec? $20k is A lot of $$$$$$$.
Best Wishes for your upcoming procedure. :)

At 6 weeks I would say not worth 4500$. I will hold judgement until 8 weeks. I was surprised as well at 20k. This is for general, ab etching 8k, lipo all areas 6k, chest gland removal and chest lipo 7k. Toronto prices. I heard he was very good. The best. Maybe double US pricing. Taxes were around 3k.

Oh No! I am doing this in October on abs. $1500 1 treatment.
lipo on abs is 6k in California By San Francisco,so it seems about the same as far as pricing.
I will stay positive for you and hope it does work.

Upper abs? There isn't enough skin/fat to fill adapter. Lower stomach used large adapters and mid abs was small adapter. Same for flanks. Remember that larger adapter is almost double the price. I workout doing cardio 4x a week. Not a drinker and eating is under 2k calories. Middle age I guess. My personal take on abs is ab etching and for a small gut pocket coolsculpturing. Downtime is zero and lipo a good 2 weeks. I had lipo 10 years ago and it did hurt. I was bruised and said I wouldn't do it again but age is not always kind.

I had lipo before but not on abs.
Well i will do lower abs and see how it works for me.
Thanks for all your help :)
