Cool Sculpting? Anyone Heard of This?

[kc892020 90]

Hey everyone! I just wanted to ask if anyone ever heard of and/or had a procedure called "cool sculpting" done instead of traditional plastics?

According to my doctor, I might not be a good candidate for traditional, invasive plastics because of all the surgeries I've had on my reproductive organs (long story). He suggested looking into cool sculpting instead. If anyone has had this done, did you like the results? Were you satisfied?

I'm not super self-conscious about my "pooch," but it would be nice to "even/smooth" things out.

Thank you for your help!

My understanding is that cool sculpting only affects fat cells & is for only minimal fat reduction. It’s been around for a while now.

I only know of one person who underwent treatment for fat reduction on her hips & thighs - a local radio personality. I thought she looked pretty much the same in her before & after pxts. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Your skin is loose because you’ve reduced how much fat you carried which had stretched out your skin. If the little fat you have left in your ‘pooch’ is reduced further the emptier & more loose your skin may become.

The only way to remove loose skin to to surgically remove it. I’m sorry this surgery may not be an option for you.

Personally, I choose not to have skin removal surgery. I didn’t have a lot but it does ooze down my inner thighs & underarms & I have some sag on my tummy. All of it can be covered successfully by my clothes & I can wear fitted body con type dresses without a problem. Yes, there are somethings I can’t wear but I’m past super short shorts & skirts, boob tubes & bikinis. Honestly some days I look at my loose skin & wish it wasn’t there but then I remember how hard I worked & still work every day to get this loose skin. I earned this loose skin. It’s my gold medal. But that’s me. You have to do what makes you happy.

I had it done and it was a complete waste of €1700. I saw absolutely no difference and I am very sorry I did it. It was a simple procedure that lasted perhaps 90 minutes. It amazes me that they could charge so much without results. So I would not go that route. I had a breast reduction and lift where they removed skin and made my saggy boobs look fantastic and was the best decision ever. I also had a Tummy Tuck which I was not so happy with, but the loose skin is gone. In it's place is a very ugly scar and I wasn't able to exercise for almost 3 months in which I gained some weight. So, hope that information is helpful.
