I had coolsculpting on my lower abdomen a week ago using two medium-sized applicators. I've experienced minimal pain, and the swelling seems to be improving every day. I even think my stomach looks smaller already. Is it possible for the results to show this quickly, or could it be due to reduced swelling? I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Hello, Thank you for your question. As a high-volume provider of CoolSculpting, we have occasionally seen patients who report seeing results even before the one-week mark. However, it is important to note that this is very uncommon and most patients typically start seeing results around the three-week mark. In some cases, it can take up to 3-4 months to fully appreciate the results of the CoolSculpting treatment. Please keep in mind that individual results may vary.
Patients have reported noticing changes as early as 1-2 weeks after undergoing coolsculpting. The process of coolsculpting involves inducing inflammation followed by cell death and elimination, which takes time to occur. It is possible that you are observing a decrease in swelling resulting from the initial inflammation. While the typical timeframe for visible results is 2-4 months, some patients may see early results after one month.
CoolSculpting results may take time to fully manifest, and it is likely that you are experiencing swelling resolution. Follow up with your provider for further assessment.
Swelling, bruising, and tenderness typically take up to 2 weeks to resolve, and final results may be visible after 3 months. Address any concerns with your treating physician.
