Hoping This Works

After years of trying to get rid of my stobborn baby pooch, I decided to try Sculpsure. I had the procedure done to my lower stomach 2 days ago. The procedure itself is very uncomfortable, but manageable. The pain and burning reminds me of getting a tattoo, but over a big area all at one time. Right when I thought it might be unbearable, the cooling sensation alleviated the discomfort. The technician turned the machine to the highest setting and didn't tell me until it was all done. My stomach has been a little sore the last 2 days, like I did a lot of crunches. My stomach is pretty swollen, and looks like I'm bloated. I am planning on doing my lower stomach and flanks at my next appointment. I will post my results once I see something happen.

It has been a week, and I still have a little bit of swelling, but most of the swelling has subsided. My stomach is still sore, but it gets a little better everyday. I have been massaging the area 2-3 times a day. I haven't noticed and lumps in the treated area. I've been trying to drink about 90oz of water a day.

Mine was swollen as well. It took me about 2 to 3 weeks for the swelling to go down! Hang in there!

Last week (4 weeks) I was supposed to have my 2nd treatment on my lower stomach, but I had some nodules under my belly button. My stomach was swollen for a while, and they told me they my have been there under the swelling the whole time. They wanted to wait to do the 2nd treatment on the lower stomach, so it is scheduled for next week. Next week will be the 6 week mark, so I'm hoping to start seeing some results.
They did the scheduled treatment on my flanks 6 days ago. They are still pretty sore and swollen. I thought the treatment on this area was less painful than the lower stomach, but the area is more sore after the treatment. The flanks are also harder for me to massage because the paddles wrapped around to my back. Jeans have been a challenge, and I feel like I have the ultimate muffin top. Hopefully the swelling on the flanks calms down, and I can try to get some pics of my lower stomach before my next treatment next week.

Did you have an update for us? I am on the fence between Sculpsure and Coolsculpting...

Really research coolsculpting. I highly recommend sculspsure. There is no chance for surrounding tissue, skin, and/or nerve damage. The laser technology is made to only affect the fat cells. Coolsculpting can cause a treated area to be numb for several months after.

Worse than that, cool sculpting can cause an overgrowth of fat cells that takes 1-3 liposuction surgeries to resolve.

Just wanted to say I have Diastasis Recti from pregnancy and it looks like you do too. You should look into Emsculpt because that actually addresses the muscle separation that causes the pooch. I tried Mutu fitness and it was wonderful and did help, but nothing as much as emsculpt. Hoping you had good results with the treatment!
