I would definitely not recommend cool sculpting since it had no effect on me. Especially since it cost me 4 grand at coolspa nyc. I have nothing against the staff there they were all very professional but I think this technologically just like anything else needs to be fine tuned over time. I’m thankful that I did have any horrible side effects or scarring. I will definitely go the lipo route since that is guaranteed to remove 100 percent fat instead of cool sculpting which states up to 20 percent which in my case was 0.

5 weeks post op

It's been 5 weeks and I have not really seen any results. There is no point in posting a photo because there is no difference. I'm not sure if this was worth the $4,200. I've been maintaining a very strict diet (Mike Dolce living lean cookbook). During my consultation the surgeon did try to up sell me on going the lipo route stating that he could remove 100 percent of the fat in one session. I just did not want to go through any surgeries. I have an appointment April 26th for my 8 week follow up. Not sure what's going to happen in the next 3 weeks

Always had trouble with the love handles. I guess...

Always had trouble with the love handles. I guess it genetic. I figured why not be more efficient and try coolsculpting in conjunction with diet and exercise. The procedure was not real uncomfortable to a little bit of pins and needles sensation but goes numb after 2 minutes. I had upper and lower abs and both flanks done. I will post a more thorough review after the 8 week mark

Overall rating

Very good Doctor, however the cool sculpting was not worth it for the price as I saw no results or if there were results a microscope would be needed to see it. The staff at coolspa are very knowledgeable and I would recommend people go the Lipo Route with them.
