Photos would have been helpful in addition to providing more information about your liposuction procedure, such as the technique used. Nevertheless, your experience with pain is highly unusual and unfortunate, especially with only one postoperative follow-up. I advise you to return to your doctor and discuss your symptoms and dissatisfaction with the outcome. Additionally, it may be beneficial to seek consultations from one or more reputable board-certified plastic surgeons to determine the best course of action.

Hello, The inflammation process following your procedure can vary from 6 months to 1 year. Each patient has an individual recovery process. If you have any concerns, I recommend consulting with your doctor for guidance. Best regards,

Persistent pain 6 months after surgery should be discussed with the surgeon, and seeking another opinion is an option if needed.

CoolSculpting may not address pain issues associated with the disruption of nerves to the skin. Pain can resolve within a year, and massage or further evaluation by the surgeon is recommended.
