I decided to try Coolsculpting to see whether I could non-surgically reduce my abdomen. I was told I was an excellent candidate for lower ab fat reduction.
Recovery days 5-12 were VERY painful. My advice to people going through delayed-onset pain is to not lay around the house. You really need to get out there and take your mind off the pain. Also if you're prescribed Lidocaine patches, use them, because they are very helpful! Neurontin also helped me too, and so did Spanx. But the absolute *worst* thing you can do is stay sedentary doing your painful time. You won't want to exercise but please try to do some shopping or something engaging that has you on your feet. :) The pain should be completely gone by day 12, and that was the case for me.
I'm writing this review around the three-week mark. So far I don't see a difference, even though many doctors claim that you might start to notice a change after the first three weeks. I'll update again after a few more weeks with new photos.
Please feel free to comment on the photos!

Here's a photo collage to make side-by-side comparisons easier.
The top left picture is before. The top right picture is three weeks later. The bottom picture is four weeks (today).
I think I look worse in the bottom picture. My weight is unchanged.

Are you still swelling or is the numbness gone? Just give it another week or two. I read that some people doesnt really see results until 2 months.

Did you have the large suction?

I have a similar abdomen and I had four applicators two weeks ago (two on the upper abdomen and two on the lower abdomen), I am still quite swollen and the pain was intense but now subsiding. Hopefully it will be worth it!

My results started showing about 5 weeks. I had 3 ab areas done and my tummy is actually pretty flat now. I'm Super happy. Give it time!

As my wonderful plastic surgeon told me after I told him I tried it.."There are lots of fat eskimos!" Cool sculpting does not work and I had just a medium amount of tummy to get rid of.... I work out 4 times a week and am in normal BMI and weight range for my height, age and sex. I am sorry I threw out 1900.00. The people from Coolsculpting co who presented their product, talked as if there was NO way I would not get a result. Before and after photos they showed had to be after weight loss. They said no.... only cool sculpting result and they were close t saying that they guaranteed a good result. Of course... no refund.
