I Would Be Happy with Even a Little Improvement, I'm Still Waiting

Since I was a young teen, no matter how much weight I lose my belly and waist have always appeared to bulge. I could never wear form fitting clothes even after my first child when I lost so much weight my periods stopped and I had to gain some back.

So- at 56 I am tired of it. Went on the trip of a lifetime to Provance for a special wedding. I went for 2 small area coolsculpting treatments on my upper abdomen as this has always been the worst part of my figure.

I was not expecting a miracle and would be happy with even a little change BUT 2 and a half months out... no changes despite the fact that I have lost a little weight since then. I guess I'll see what happens in a couple of months. Hopefully I will see at least a little improvement.

fter doing some research on the medical literature I fould that massage right after the procedure makes a HUGE difference. But it has to be done for 5 minutes. I only got about 2 min on each area. I think may be why I am not seeing results.

The trip to France and the wedding were still fabulous. :-)

At first, I thought I was seeing results after about 2 months but now think it was my imagination. Before procedure I had lost 22 lbs and I have gained back some of it, maybe 8 lbs. So, I am still down 14lbs! I think there should be at least a little contouring but no such luck.

I keep wondering if she had done more massage after the treatment if it would have taken better. I read the scientific literature and the really dramatic results were based on a 5-minute massage after the procedure. My technician only massaged the areas for about 2 minutes each side. Also, that I did such a small area might have something to do with it. I probably needed to do my lower abdomen too- but the cost is sky high. I'm thinking if I do anything else it might be smartlipo which is more permanent I think. I know it’s more expensive but maybe this is one of those- you get what you pay for things.
