The Side Effects of Fat Reduction

Fat reduction is a popular procedure that can help people achieve their desired body shape. However, it is important to be aware of the potential side effects that may occur. Common side effects are usually mild and may include pain or decreased sensation in the target area. Some people may feel faint, nauseous, or dizzy during the procedure, or may develop a rash, swelling, or other discoloration afterward.

CoolSculpting, a type of fat reduction procedure, may cause minor side effects such as irritation and pain. In rare cases, fat cells may grow more in response to the procedure rather than shrinking. During the process, you may experience a tug or pull on your skin and a severe cold. Afterward, you may feel pain, as if you were exercising. It can also cause some swelling.

Patients may also notice other side effects from CoolSculpting such as swelling, redness, or bruising which are normal and usually go away within a few days. The risk of complications increases if the surgeon works on larger body surfaces or performs several procedures during the same operation.

The long-term positive side effect

is that fat cells continue to be expelled for approximately 12 weeks, gradually thinning the treatment area. Weight loss refers to a decrease in total body weight, while fat loss refers to weight loss from fat. Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), also known as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, occurs when the number of fat cells in the treatment area increases rather than decreases.
