I am interested to hear this too.I could loose some fat that seems to have snuck in and made a home around my stomach.I was wondering after the fat is dissolved if your skin would sag.

I'd love to do it too. If it works.

I'm interested too. It's not designed for major fat loss just to help get rid of those fat pockets. There are reviews on realself.com you can check out. There's also a new treatment called vela shape but I don't have any personal experience with that either.

I have. The initial results were pleasing, however it does not last. Luckily, my daughter won a gift certificate and gave it too me. I would have been even more disappointed if I had paid!

I am in the medical profession, so I do not think my expectations were unreasonable.

My coworker had many areas done and paid 5000.00, at the end of a year she was quite disappointed as well.

The procedure takes away fat the size of a stick of butter, but if you gain any weight, it comes right back.

I am 130 pounds, but I have belly fat. The only thing that helps me is diet and exercise!

i hope my post helps you!

@skincaremaven Thanks for the review. I was so hopeful. I'm glad you didn't lose any money.

Thanks for the review...........the commercials are hitting the airwaves big-time around here, too.

You are very welcome!

I would hate for you to spend your hard earned money on a temporary, expensive procedure.

I think it would be good if you just needed a small area frozen and we're going to be disciplined to eat well and exercise afterward.

I am not disciplined enough, lol.

Hmmm wouldn't you think that you would re-gain the weight after any kind of weightloss procedure if you aren't committed to staying thin? I can't see that its just Coolsculpting.

Lisa Robertson has had this done. A few months back she did a live chat on her FB page with the health professional that did her treatment. I believe she also has a link to Coolsculpting on her website.

Has anyone had the fat removed from a double chin by this method? I hate my double chin. I can live with the other problem spots but can't shake or accept my double chin.

@nominomLypo (which doesn't hurt), makes a dramatic change and doesn't come back.

Research Kybella. Non-invasive.

Is this a new term describing the decades old lipo-suction? If not, would you explain exactly how fat is removed from one's body. I am personally familiar with lipo, as I had it done back in the 1980's. Other than being surgically removed, I am very curious to know about a 3rd option to actually/physically, remove body fat tissue from the human body.

No, it's not lipo.

Just a little clarification about your post, @skincaremaven ..... One of the questions that would be asked by any cosmetic/plastic surgery patient would be "Is this permanent? Temporary? How long do the effects last?"

Did you ask and were you told this information? Or are you saying the results were not permanent for you because you gained weight after the procedure? Because even drastic and risky gastric bypass surgery will fail if the patient doesn't change their lifestyle and maintain their weight post-op.

@SaRina

. The "bolded," above is exactly the same results with Lipo Suction, I know, I had it done when I was at my running weight(which is about 20lbs lighter than my hockey playing weight). Once I put on the first 10lbs, what had been done, pretty much disappeared. And I was adding muscle tissue not fat.

Moral! With Look, gain weight? Forget it. This other thing? I suspect the results would be the same.

Exactly, @hckynut.

I asked the OP (ETA: Sorry! Not the OP, but @skincaremaven) this question because of her statement: "The initial results were pleasing, however it does not last." She then added: "...but if you gain any weight, it comes right back." I wanted to clarify for all posters here if this statement was based upon skincaremaven being told by her doctor prior to the procedure that the results would only be temporary.....or.... whether the procedure is supposed to be permanent, but skincaremaven was not explicit to other posters about her own weight gain that "undid" the results of her procedure.

I had a friend who had lipo, she gained weight, but the weight came in a different spot.
