More results and NEW AREAS!

Hi all,
I'm about 9 1/2 weeks out from the procedure, and my results were looking so good that I actually went back to my Coolsculpting goddess, Serena, to have more areas done. The new areas are the inner knees and the outer thigh/ banana roll. The inner knee is an off label positioning, and the banana roll positioning was actually partially under my butt cheek and partially on my outer thigh instead of squarely under the butt cheek. Serena does off label positions (like the back of the arm, which I did the first time) and she does TONS of coolsculpting so I trust her to be able to capture the best spots for placement of the applicators. If you decide to go with an off-label placement, I suggest you really do your homework and make sure your facilitator has lots of experience with this...
That said, here are the updates on my first and second rounds:
First round: (9 1/2 weeks post)
-Chin: really improved
-Arms: it's almost impossible to see the results from the pics that I post... for some reason (I think it's because I always relax my muscles in the pics and my triceps just hang there) this position doesn't show how different they are. But I assure you, my jackets and shirts fit better and my arms are showing more definition. When they're down by my sides they look thinner for sure.
-Inner thigh: still improving. I have a thigh gap that I never had before and my jeans fit better.
-Lower belly: definite improvement! the only thing I'll say is that the fat seems to have reduced unevenly here... the right side is noticeably flatter than the left when I look down from above. However, this is not enough for me to say I wouldn't do it again. My results are still underway, so the final result will tell whether I need another round to even things out. BUT, there is definite reduction of fat all over the lower belly!!
Second round: (2 1/2 weeks post)
Inner knee: First, the inner knee was sightly uncomfortable during the procedure, but nothing I couldn't handle. Afterward, I had some numbness which is almost totally gone. I don't see any noticeable result here yet, but it hasn't been that long.
Outer thigh/ banana roll: My eyes could be playing tricks on me, but I think my results in this area are actually starting to show already. Plus, my legs feel a bit different in my jeans.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the result of the procedures. The different areas show the fat loss in different ways at different times, so I'd say be patient and just take good pics so you can see the progress. I'll keep posting updates!
***One of my pics won't upload (weird). If you'd like to see the other photos, you can message me and I'll try to get it out to you.

The nurse practitioner was great! She answered all questions, listened to what I wanted, had tons of experience doing the procedure, and had had it done on herself many times as well. She was super informative and helpful. Also, a Berkeley grad, so I was confident that she was researching all the most current info on the process.

I'm in Modesto and know Dr Stahll does this but I would like to know other people that do it here and compare prices and results. I'm so excited to try it if it really does the job

Congratulations! You had some really great results. I just had my chin done a week ago, so I am hoping for a good result. If it works, I would love to do my inner thighs and your results are very encouraging! Thanks for posting.

I really want to have my inner knees done and my husband's neck. Where did you have your procedures done? I'm in Modesto California, does your girl know someone good here and approximate cost for arms, knees and tummy? And approx cost for neck? I'm trying to find out what works better for my husband's neck Kybella or Cool Sculpting? Yours look great! Do you have a side by side before and after picture?

Sorry for the delay on the comments. I had the coolsculpting done at Dr. Joshua Kidman’s Office in San Jose. Serena is amazing!!
