I am 5’4”; weight 109 lbs, in my late 40’s. I work out daily and have been called a “health freak”. I never went above 110 pounds except child bearing two times in my life. I am probably by far the slimmest figure among all patients who go for a fat reduction related procedure. However, I really don’t like the pouch sitting on my stomach, so noticeable on my stick like thin body.
Read many reviews describing the pain after Coolscupting procedure. I had my 1st treatment done 7 days ago with a totally different experience. I went in for a consultation without doing my homework beforehand. I was quickly convinced by the technician 5 minutes later only because she mentioned there is no down time. When they removed the applicator from my abdomen, I felt a lot of pain, and sever bruise showed up right away. Doctor made a comment that this is the most serious bruise she has ever seen after the procedure. Her comment scared me a little. The fact is after going home till today; I experience NO PAIN at all. My tummy still looks bruised and swollen.
I am hoping this procedure will be my life saver because my fat belly only responds to starvation and I absolutely can’t afford one.

which dr did you use.? I live in Bay Area too - just curious. The price you mentioned seems less compared to what I was quoted in walnut creek.

Wow! Your stomach looks amazing. I hope my looks that great when I have it done. How long does the red color last?

It has been 2 months after my first cool sculpting procedure. Doctor's office said the change is very "subtle". I see noreduction in size, or even bigger? My stomach is flatter in the morning, bigger in the evening. The 2 months post picture was taken at night.
Doctor is suggesting 2nd treatment in the same spot. Should I proceed?

Are you eating healthy & exercising? That's what my clinic always asks me. I've had 4 treatments to my belly. My place is now doing a criss-cross pattern over the belly (same day) with better results.

Doctor didn't even bother to ask me. They can see I am as skinny as before. I have been a health freak for my whole life. Did your four treatments really bring down the size?

I bloat out at night...I actually gain 5 pounds from Morning to evening. The doctors say it is water retention from my diet, salt and foods that my body reacts to and says that it isn't fat or anything else but belly bloat, if that is the case a second treatment wouldn't do any good. As women, we tend to pick ourselves apart and see things others don't see.Take it from a unbiased third party, I think you look great in the first pic.
