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 had my arms done a few weeks ago an so far already seeing results! I was thinking of havin my chin done as well. What technique did they use? I was told to do two treatments the first visit one applicator on each side of neck. Also I wanted to ask you if you had noticeable swelling an bruising. I usually can't take more than a day off work and I don't want my neck to look noticeable at work. Thanks!!!

Hi! I did my chin two weeks ago, and was out that night. I was a bit red for a few hours after, but that's it. Waiting to see!

Can you please post a before pix of your chin? Your after pix look great! Based on your reviews I'm contemplating coolsculpting on my chin but was wondering if your before was anything like mine. Thanks!

So you had all three areas done at the same time? I'm going for my inner thighs in a few weeks but I want my arms, hips and flanks done too..

3 Days Post-procedure: The Itch

happygirl55
Hi all. Still sore -- mostly my belly. But now I'm having some shooting numbness in the areas treated (no biggie). The thing that's driving me a little nuts is the itching feeling. My skin is still numb, but there's an itchy sensation that feels like it's inside the deeper layers, like, in the fat itself. Since my skin is pretty numb, it doesn't do a thing to scratch the itch from the outside, so I've been lightly massaging the spots that feel itchy. This seems to help get at the "inside" of the itchy feeling -- if that makes any sense. It's just a weird sensation to describe. Pretty annoying, but not the end of the world. Pics soon!

Hi there, thank you for posting! Did you have all those areas treated at the same time or did you spread them out?

May 8, 2016
Hi! Thanks for the question. I had them all done on the same day -- it took about 6 hours total with potty breaks in between sessions.

Thanks so much for sharing! I had liposuction on my stomach (age 57) not really very happy

Day 4 Pics

happygirl55
Here is what I look like 4 days post. The areas I had treated (chin, inner thighs, lower belly, back of arms) have all gone back to normal size except for my chin which is still a tiny bit swollen. Still feeling numbness, weird itchy sensation, and tenderness (though much less than the first three days). Occasional shooting pains here and there, but they are pretty dull.

Anxious to see how your chin reduced. I am trying to decide between kybella and this.
May 15, 2016
Hi. If the results are as good as I think they'll be, I'd go with the coolsculpting over the Kybella. I had minimal swelling (which nobody noticed) and I think with Kybella, you pretty much have to hide your frog neck for a few weeks. Plus, the coolsculpting was (in my opinion) way better than getting a bunch of needles in the neck. Check out the updated pics below -- you can already see the chin reducing :)

I'd love to see some recent pictures :) how many inches did you lose from your thighs?
May 15, 2016
Hi. Won't be able to see the full results till 3 or 4 months, but I've posted an update with pics below so you can see the 11 day results :)

How expensive was this procedure and do you need to go back ? How many times?
