I do not get the impression it would help anyone with loose skin. It doesn't help to melt (or freeze?) fat that doesn't have nice taut skin over it.

Yes I am considering plastic surgery, and have been looking at different surgeons on and off for the past few years. Other life changes have taken priority and now that life is settling down I am looking forward to this!
What part of your body do you want coolsculpted? I do not know anyone who has done this but I am skeptical. From what I have read it only gets rid of 25% of the fat in the area treated.

If you are willing, I would love to see pics. I understand of course if you'd rather not post them, but I am very fair too and plastics, including facial plastics, will be in my future.
I had my Freshlift w/ BuccalFat Pad Excision as scheduled Nov 5 2018. Want to tell all I am doing great,just trying to find things to do that does not raise blood pressure I suppose I am super bored which is most difficult part for me so far. I had my surgery they woke me up and out the door I went.I did have help for five days which was great. I am very light hair and skinned I have lots of swelling some bruising still. My neck oh my goodness is looking good even now. A dream come true. Feel free to ask me anything.

Now that NYMom22 has revived this post, I just wanted to update and say that I still get charlie horses in my abs sometimes and I'm now 9 months post LBL! I don't do a lot of focused ab work right now, but they will happen during yoga when going from rag doll to extended mountain too quickly or when pulling in tight during high plank. They've also happened while on the toilet which is pretty terrible!
