CoolSculpting® CoolSculpting® Case 221

Case Details

As long as this 31-year-old working mother of two can recall, her stomach has been her problem area. She remembers as a young child calling it her "puffy belly". By the time she was an adolescent, this woman was an avid runner with long, lanky legs and arms, yet she  still had a protruding, dimply tummy. As a professional boudoir photographer, she is very active and maintains a healthy diet. After 2 babies she still considered herself to be the healthiest she has ever been. Given all the effort that goes into staying healthy, she was utterly discouraged with the fact that her stomach fat just didn’t seem to budge, even while weighing 114 lbs. 

For her entire adult life she contemplated seeking the advice of a cosmetic surgeon on the best way to get rid of her stubborn stomach fat. After growing a great long-term relationship with Dr. Piazza and his staff at the Piazza Center and doing quite a bit of research, having the CoolSculpting® procedure at their Austin practice seemed to be her best option.

It was recommended that she have 2 treatments done on her stomach in 4 different areas (two areas on her abdomen and her love handles). She was told she would likely see a 25% reduction in her tummy after her first treatment, and up to a 45% reduction after her second treatment.  

By the time she had her 1-month follow up appointment, the visible transformation was already obvious, especially in side-by-side comparison photos. This patient finds herself working hard in the gym, but now she can really appreciate all of her efforts! These photos are taken at 3 months after her treatment.
