Paradoxical Hyperplasia From CoolSculpting: This is a rare but serious side effect of CoolSculpting, a non-surgical fat reduction procedure. Instead of fat cells dying, they unexpectedly enlarge, causing a hardened bump in the treated area.
Pros: N/A (This is a complication)
Cons: Creates a visible bulge, requires corrective surgery (liposuction) to fix.
Alternatives: Liposuction, Kybella (injectable for small fat pockets).
Recovery Time: N/A (Refers to CoolSculpting, not corrective surgery)
Disclaimer: CoolSculpting is generally safe, but there’s a small risk of paradoxical hyperplasia. Discuss this with your doctor before treatment.
