The smaller fatty lump that appeared on my shoulder, by 2015, I could clearly see that it had veins that appeared to be feeding it. When the second lump started to form, it was after five long hours of housework; I suffered for three very painful days, having to strap my right arm to my body. Then finally a small lump about the size of half a walnut appeared on top of my shoulder.If a patient has a child and has loose skin and lax abdominal muscles as a result of pregnancy, CoolSculpting will not correct those concerns; an abdominoplasty would be a more appropriate procedure. While some areas can be corrected with one treatment, some bulges will need more than one treatment to get to the desired result.
350 per lump, and that I would need to come in for a consultation to be certain. 813.60 for this procedure to be done on both lumps. The procedure I am referring to was called a Venus Legacy (coolsculpting), and in the end could apparently only be done on one of the lumps … the one that was between my shoulder blade and my right underarm.
I awoke a few hours later only to realize that my right arm did NOT “go to sleep” for the first time in a long time. However, the freezing was starting to come out and the stitches were starting to ache a bit with the slightest movement of my right arm. In case you didn’t know or had forgotten, I have admitted being a ‘wuss’ before when it comes to pain, needles and stitches.
However, this time it would be to deal with these lumps once and for all. 618 to have the two lumps removed. Thankfully, THIS procedure is tax deductible! On October 2, 2017, I arrived at the hospital in Oshawa at 7:30 AM, and by 9:30 AM I was home and lying down to rest. Thankfully the freezing was still in the area where the cuts to remove the 2 fatty lumps were and now where the stitches were made, so that I could rest on my back.
This procedure was done by a person claiming to be registered nurse at Pickering Physio, in Pickering, Ontario. This nurse claimed she didn’t have a proper apparatus to be able to freeze the smaller lump that was on my right shoulder. After the procedure for the one lump was completed I asked about a refund and was later denied.
Coolsculpting professes to be a safe procedure that “delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells under the skin”. Those treated stubborn fat cells are said to be crystallized or frozen making them die. Then, over time the human body’s natural process simply removes the dead fat cells and you’re said to be sculpted.
You should be given time to decide and NOT be pressured into setting up an appointment for your first treatment … ESPECIALLY not five minutes after a 15 minute consultation with a non-medical professional. If you ARE pressured in any way … RUN! That clinic is not concerned about you and your issues. They are only interested in your money. OHIP doesn’t cover removal of what they call lipoma (fatty deposits under the skin), so I was looking at yet another out-of-pocket expense.
While some patients may see results as early as 3 weeks after their first treatment, the most dramatic results are usually seen between 1 and 3 months following treatment. CoolSculpting works very well. There is no down time and results we see are great. The photos show real results for our patients.
More then once I have heard that CoolSculpting does not work. Obviously, I am convinced that it works very well. 1 non surgical fat reducing procedure. As recommended in Prevention Magazine in March, patients seeking CoolSculpting should be evaluated in the office of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon; unfortunately, many patients are not properly evaluated and then do not receive appropriate treatment. It then becomes a waste of money and is disappointing- patients need to seek appropriate help. Like any procedure or treatment in Plastic Surgery, patients have to be appropriate candidates. CoolSculpting only affects fat.
