Forgot to mention that Maria did the second round on me for free. Maria suggested Kybella for the free treatment I was promised if coolsculpting didn't work. I couldn't find any info online ANYWHERE about people having the Kybella treatment done in that area, so I opted for coolsculpting again for round 2. I didn't want to be the guinea pig for that.

I have always been self-conscious about the far on my chest since I was a teenager. Pretty much all my exes have commented on it, not like I wasn't already aware. Saw the commercial, went into the Cosmetic Enhancement Center of New England which was the only place willing to do Coolsculpting in the chest area out of the five practices with machines in my state. I was told I was a good candidate for Coolsculpting by Dr Maria Atkins.

After the first round with the mini handpiece, I saw basically zero results. I was told perhaps the mini handpiece wasn't targeting the area correctly, so I waited until the petite handpiece came out. When it did, I went back in, and had another round, and it just confirmed my fears that it was total waste of money.

Pain was the worst I've experienced since I tore my MCL 12 years ago, about 10 minutes of hell during/post massage. I had this done almost a year ago, so I know my results are final. I only showed one picture because it didn't change at all.
