It has been 4 months and my thigh areas are still blue. Also, my arms now look like a grandma and I am 34. My arms are so saggy and the lefts are so much worse than the left. It look terrible. I see the results on my love handles but not my tights. And not to mention what my arms look like now. The entire back arm's skin is droopy and hanging over my elbow. I feel so so terrible.

After the procedure my stomach was hard and uneven and had two pouches instead. The nurse told me it would all get back to normal. Few months later, I was told that I needed another service to even my skin. I believe them, foolish me. Let's just say, after spending over $7000, years later both pouches are bigger with potholes on my stomach. I would recommend everyone to do their research because its not the same for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989513257190306435.post-27740924911992928262022-06-09T17:22:23.561-04:002022-06-09T17:22:23.561-04:00PAH was explained as a rare event after cool sculp...PAH was explained as a rare event after cool sculpting with ideal imageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989513257190306435.post-59440306920277602822022-02-10T00:43:57.643-05:002022-02-10T00:43:57.643-05:00I had the same experience.

Where I went they took several pictures from every angle and there was absolutely no change anywhere! When I went for the consultation two employees did the work up and placements of the areas to be treated and I bought the package to cover it all. $7000. Went for the first treatment and the owner changed to the bigger applicators but didn't tell me they cost more. She even said don't worry this won't change the package. I didn't know what she meant but I was excited so I didn't think to question it. Fast forward the 3 months with no change to the pictures and the owner said I only had 2 applications left of my package because the large applicators cost double. Then she had the audacity to try to sell me $5000 more in treatments! I told her to just do my arms again and use the last two but she refused because I was still bruised after 3 months. It even says on their website if you don't get a viable reduction after each treatment they will retreat for free. I'm so frustrated!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989513257190306435.post-44188647301228117462021-11-09T11:32:56.574-05:002021-11-09T11:32:56.574-05:00Machines with the older devices from what I have s...Machines with the older devices from what I have seen have caused more issues. It costs medical professionals a lot to provide this service. Not just paying for the machine, they also pay the brand for so many services. So until they use up what they paid for, they usually do not upgrade their equipment. This is what happened to me. At the time I did not realize it. But looking back, they made comments that I was smaller than most patients, they even had difficulty using the applicator on me too. Again, things I dismissed at the time. Looking back those are big red flags.<br />Barbie's Beauty Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371016297356541267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989513257190306435.post-9723258671932025962021-11-09T09:57:47.329-05:002021-11-09T09:57:47.329-05:00I also wish I had read this, I just had the proced...I also wish I had read this, I just had the procedure done on my love handles and back fat bra area.<br />My back on the left side has become one hard mass, the other shrank a little and the love handles but this one side is becoming as I said one huge mass and as of this morning, it's thickening. To say the least, it's embarrassing me not to mention the emotional pain I feel as well. I'm newly married, after losing my husband of 31 years as if I didn't already have a reason to be self conscious, because I wasn't this young girl any longer, I wanted to try and make myself feel better about areas I struggled with that weren't an issue with my former husband. NOT that this one said anything, I was doing it because I wanted to feel a bit better. Now, it's worse and is continuing to grow. <br />I have returned to the plastic surgeon in October, procedure done in July. I was informed this had happened with their old machine once but the now have the new and they will be contacting the maker of it and most likely they will cover the cost. I pray they do... I just wasn't aware of a side effect that could happen. If there's one silver lining in my case it's that ALL areas did not respond this way. That being said, I would never recommend this! I spent 9k to feel better about myself and I am left disfigured and waiting to see if they will fix the mistake. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322382245803299564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989513257190306435.post-22465081674612543482021-10-07T01:02:55.148-04:002021-10-07T01:02:55.148-04:00Thank you for posting this.

Although PAH is very rare it is very real. I’m so sorry this happened to you. First I wanted to say thanks for sharing your story I’m sure it has been a struggle since this has all happened. I wanted to let you know that it is CoolSculpting policy that should you have a true case of PAH CoolSculpting pays for your Liposuction procedure. I’m not sure why the original Dr. did not explain this or even know about this. This is why you need to do your research even though most think that going to a Dr for this kind of procedure is best you have to understand that this is not their specialty, most of the time Drs buy a machine to bring in some extra revenue and never follow through with the proper training and protocol. I’ve fixed countless patients treated by Drs. Not all CoolScultping is created equal! That is definitely truth! I hope you were able to talk to CoolSculpting customer service and get reimbursement for your liposuction and all your heart aches. CoolScultping should be done on a treat to complete basis meaning you have a start to finish treatment plan laid out, realistic expectations are drawn, and true sculpting is accomplished. If anyone on here is thinking about getting the treatment don’t be discouraged there are thousands of patients with amazing results out there, just make sure you are going to a reputable clinic and not cutting corners trying to save money and not treating to complete. My practice is CoolConfidence Clinic if ever you need any extra help or advocating you should never have had to go through this alone!!!
