CoolSculpting

I can't believe this has actually been approved by FDA! It DOES NOT work! I've flushed $3995 down the drain. I was afraid of surgery and didn't do the tummy tuck and now I wish I had not wasted my money on CoolSculpting! ZERO STARS!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I spent over ten thousand dollars on three sessions of CoolSculpting. I focused on my abdomen and under the chin. The results were minimal...if at all. I should have just taken the plunge and done surgery. The results would have been what I wanted at the same price, and in the end, the same amount of pain.

I am 140 pounds and I am 21 years old. Although I am not considered "fat," I have always struggled with body positivity, especially the stubborn fat on my stomach, no matter how hard I work out. I received liposuction back then in June of 2018, and now it is December of 2018 and my fat grew back. Honestly, I was quite disappointed with the outcome because I have been eating right and working out, yet I received the fat back and I could not figure out why. I went back to my doctors (where I received my lipo) and they said it was because I ate too much sugar, so I stopped eating sugar for a while...nope that was not it because I kept on getting fat!

One day a CoolSculping ad came up, and at first, I thought it was a way to freeze fat, and eventually that fat will come back (un-freeze). I did some research on it and realized that the fat actually gets "washed out" of my body permanently. So I decided to give it a try. It worked magic. I saw a difference within the first week...

Pros: My muscles are showing, and I can see, and feel, a difference!

Cons: As I mentioned, your body gets "washed" the fat out. With that being said, your fat literally poops the fat, so consume a lot of water.

It was finals week so I've been stress binge eating and not eating healthy at all, yet I can see a huge difference on my stomach. Also, drink a lot of water! Trust me, you'll need it!

It's been two weeks and my stomach is still kind of numb (if you pinch it, it's actually kind of painful), but it's only the skin part, so it's toleratable.

And as for my operation during the CoolSculping, others said it does not hurt at all, and I personally think that I have a very high pain tolerance, and the doctor did warn me that the first 10 minutes it might feel a little uncomfortable but after that, I shouldn't feel anything at all. Well, he was kind of right. After the first ten minutes, I did not feel anything at all. But the first ten minutes was painful. It felt like a leech was sucking on my skin.

Ten minutes of pain = a flat stomach. Worth it.

I did CoolSculpting and had four sessions in one day. Two for my lower abs and two for the upper abs. I was in pain for weeks. I could barely stand up and walk. Anytime anyone touched my stomach I would be in so much pain. The compression garment they gave me was no help at all and kept riding up in the back because of the size of my butt.

After three months I went back for my follow-up, they took pictures again and we reviewed them and noticed that nothing at all had changed. It looked like both sets of pictures were taken on the same day. I was disappointed, to say the least. Now I have a $2000 bill that I have to pay for a procedure that clearly doesn't work.

Don't even waste your time with this procedure because you will be disappointed. The sales lady was so good, bragging about how it worked for her and she was back at work that afternoon. Those were all lies. Save your money and either do liposuction or something less invasive, but do not do CoolSculpting unless you love throwing away your money.

I tried to do my homework to read about this procedure. I thought I was a good candidate since I'm active and overall thin with just the stubborn fat around my midsection. I went to two places for consultations/pricing and chose one. I put this procedure on my credit card since it was more than I could afford at the time. I thought it would be worth it in the end, but too MUCH disappointment - a total waste of money! I wish I could have that money back and just spend a bit more time in the gym.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I did in May the first time and in September the second time, big mistake. My fat didn't disappear but got bigger and deformed. They don't tell you about the not so rare side effects, the PAH, that the only way to fix it is the liposuction and the tummy tuck. Think about how you will waste your money and you will become a monster like me. You'll buy new clothes because you became fatter, you will have so much pain after the CoolSculpting, and most likely after the liposuction, you will lose weeks at your job and you'll be so depressed because you see your deformed body in the mirror every single day, and this will affect your relationship with your friends, with your partner, and with your family!

Don't make the big mistake I made, don't do CoolSculpting!

I’m a little Asian girl and I have this stubborn belly fat, but I’m not obese. I want to get rid of this little fat hanging around my waist. The doctor I went to said it would be easy. I tried CoolSculpting back in July, I worked every day and tried not to eat any unhealthy food, but CoolSculpting didn’t work at all. It’s November now and I still have a belly fat. This process might be wrong or fake. I don’t want to spend more money just to find out that it doesn’t work at all.

I am eighty years young in very good shape, 124 lbs, 5' 5" tall. I had a pretty flat stomach up to the age of 68. That's when my stomach gradually started getting bigger, and now I look like I'm pregnant. I was told that I was a good candidate for CoolSculpting, so I decided to try it. I paid $1000.00 for the large size. It's now 11 weeks and no results, and I have lost 2 lbs but no change in the stomach. It was painless and there were no complications or down time. I am very disappointed as I still have a good figure except for my big belly. I used to be a model when I was young, and I also taught dancing.

My husband bought me a CoolSculpting package for my 40th birthday present and I was very excited to get rid of my little belly pouch, and three months later, NOTHING! I am so disappointed, what a scam!

Don't waste your money. I do the treatment and the only difference I see reduce is my pocket. If you want real results, go to the Plastic Surgery MD or go old fashion of doing exercises are the only two ways.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The procedure is a farce, and there were no results. They called me about a month after to ask if I noticed any change, I told them no, and she said it could take 3 or more months. I never heard from them again, and had no change in belly fat or love handles. I contacted them, no return calls, left messages about spending $3,900.00 and received zero benefit.
