Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Day 8+
I haven't been wearing my compression - I don't need to. My abdomen is only sore when I push down on it. Other than that, I can't tell I have my fat cells frozen two weeks ago.
I will update when I see some results.

Day 2-7
Sorry I haven't really been updating! I've been way too lazy to type all this out. But I know how helpful others' reviews were to me before I had the procedure done so I'll continue to help you all out!
Day 2
I am still pretty swollen...looking like I am pregnant! It is a weird feeling and I have to wear a dress so that no one catches a glimpse and started formulating opinions/rumours. "Did you see her belly?" "I think she's pregnant!"No one has time for any of that!
My abdomen is still very tender - if anything bumped into it I would feel like my soul left my body for a second! I am tingling a bit, but it isn't bad at all. So far the recovery is pretty easy.
Day 3
Swelling has gone down a significant amount. Probably about 75% which is great. The tingling has gone from rearing its ugly head here and there to a constant annoying scratching feeling. Now, this is not pain. It's more annoying than anything. I'm slowly starting to feel more and more as I touch the skin on my abdomen. The numbness is residing, which means my nerves are waking up! People usually complain of pain during this process! I'm still wearing my compression undergarment 24/7 (minus when I wash it) and the recovery is not bad.
Day 4
Swelling is almost gone. I have a belly button piercing in and over the last few days you could see an indent from the top ball of the piercing which was a result of the swelling. There is no more indent and I feel like I am very close to the size I was prior to the procedure. Still have that annoying scratching feeling. I put Biofreeze on it and OMG. I felt normal again!!! It numbed everything right up and there was no annoying scratching! Trust me...use the Biofreeze. It works wonders!! Not that I was in any pain per se, it was good to feel relief from that feeling.
Day 5
Swelling is completely gone. I did not use Biofreeze all day because I felt normal. No tingling, no scratching, no itching. I still am a bit tender to the touch, but what can you do? I almost have all feeling back in my abdomen. I'm starting to think I am on the homestretch to recovery. No horrible, excruciating recovery pain for me!! I did not wear the compression all day - not that I needed it anyway. I started feeling tingly right before bed so I just slapped on the compression and went to sleep.
Day 6
I think the numbness has subsided about 95%. I can feel my abdomen but it still feels a bit weird so there may be some numbness left. I wore compression all day...no tingly scratching. I am still tender. I don't see any reduction of fat as of yet.
Day 7
Here we are. At a week post-procedure and I thought I'd be writhing around in pain. I'm really happy I'm one of the lucky ones who are not experiencing that pain! I searched up cool sculpting for hours on end about the excruciating pain...I really feel blessed!
I'm actually feeling more tingling today than I've felt for the last two days (I also didn't wear the compression last night - might be why). But that's not anything a little Biofreeze wont fix! Over the last week I've been doing everything I've been doing post-procedure (gym, sports) with no problem. Hoping to see some results in the next week!

Day 1 after the Procedure
I woke up feeling fine, but when I got out of bed I got a strong sensation of pins and needles. I'm assuming that is because of gravity. I've been wearing my compression undergarments which my nurse told me to wear for at least a week. The feeling of clothes on my belly is fine. However any sort of touch with force behind it will get me to gasp a bit - more out of the surprise of being touched in such a tender area. Sneezing sucks. I'm still pretty swollen...I could probably pass for 3-4 months pregnant. So far so good. Not looking forward to day 5-14 which is when a lot of people complained of nerve pain. Maybe I'll be lucky and this will the be worst of it. Wishful thinking?
