Nope. Never. I would hire a professional work out specialist and torture my body daily with a specially designed work out program, however, to get the results I would like to see in my body. To each her own, however.

I'd do it in a hot minute if it wasn't so expensive. I've saw pictures that were just amazing. Good luck, I would schedule a consult with a plastic surgeon, or whoever you are considering to do it.

I'm seriously thinking of doing this. I'm thin but have that pooch thing going on that isn't budging. I would check out realself.com for personal reviews on this and any other cosmetic procedures. I'm finding it helpful, plus lots of photos from regular people, not just the doctor's "best case" ones.

My hairstylist had the procedure done one time and when they finished she said she looked to be six months pregnant. She said her stomach was so swollen and the whole procedure was very uncomfortable. A few days later she ended up at urgent care with a bad infection. It took her a while on antibiotics for the infection to finally clear up.

After the procedure was finished they told her she needed to come back again in three months so they could re-evaluate her and do another treatment.

Needless to say she never went back and felt that the whole procedure was a bit of a come-on. Once they get a hold of you they keep you on the hook and keep you coming back. It's never a one-time only treatment.

My girlfriend had it done on her thighs & love handles last year. She had two treatments.She had a great result. She went down two sizes.

She had a bit of swelling & discomfort but said it was well worth it.I think you have to make sure you go somewhere where they have a lot of experience performing the procedure. This will help you get the best result with minimal side effects.

Good luck!!

I have a family member that is a RN for a cosmetic surgeon, she's pretty knowledgeable about the coolsculpting. She said they've seen a fairly high success rate, but she said it's not for everyone. The Dr she works for is a really incredible person who is very honest with patients if he tells them he doesn't think they will be happy with the results and why.

Everyone has to make the decision best for themselves. But, if it makes someone feel confident or more comfortable, then they should! I know for some, loosing weight can be a challenge. Cool sculpting (or even lipo) can give people the jumpstart or motivation they need.

If you decide to move forward with it, best wishes!

I lost 100 pounds and I know how to keep it away, but I have massive amounts of loose skin. My husband doesn't care, and I don't either. I've always looked old.

Anything that either sucks away or freezes off fat cells will leave wrinkles, because the fat that held up the skin will be gone.

I had the inherited saddle bags liped off years ago and have been happy ever since. If you DO gain later in life, that area won't build up again.

@violann

Listen, if you lost 100 lbs, you deserve a heck of a lot of credit in doing so.

I'm in awe that you did this and I'll bet you are a beautiful woman inside and out.

Sounds like your husband thinks so, anyway.

I have the Isavera home system. And I can tell you it works. I lost inches from my waist. It took a lot of dedication. I've stopped using it for the time being because it seems to me that metabolizing the fat after freezing it could contribute to inflammation and I don't want to risk anything like that right now.

I'm having great luck with exercising 6 days a week, moderate eating, and the supplement 7-Keto.

I had it done on my belly. It works, but doesn't last.

Like anything, you have to change your eating habits and exercise.

It works as a "jumpstart ".

I did not feel it was worth the money, would not do it again.

My DIL did this and didn’t tell me. Then
she got upset when I didn’t comment on how slim she looked. I honestly didn’t see any difference in how she looked than when I had last seen her a month earlier. She always looks fine to me.

Have a friend who lost 100 lbs the hard way...jogging, lifting and dieting. She had tons of loose skin on her arms and finally had it surgically removed there was so much of it. Only problem is she has a long scar on each arm where it was removed and then the remaining skin was stitched together. She wanted to wear tank tops and other sleeveless tops again, but now she has the scars...

3 times- no results. Everyone I know who has tried it says it did nothing for them. And by the way, it hurts!
