I had a treatment a year ago in my stomach and my back sides, and after three months my belly started growing, now I have a big belly instead of a little fat that was before the treatment. On my follow up appointment they told me that there a visible change, thing that I not visualized.

But after that I began to noticed that my belly were growing more and more. I was depressed and afraid to go out because at my age people asked me if I am pregnant. It was a waste of money, 4,500 that I still paying for this and not seeing any result.

I'm not a fat person, my weight is 136lb, and 5'4 height. Hopefully there any solution to this.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Monetary Loss: $4500.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Ideal Image Pros: Friendly staff.

Ideal Image Cons: Outcome of ultherapy procedure, Fact that this treatment does not work.

Location: 1490 Town Center Dr n116, Lakeland, FL 33803, USA

What did you do so far as far as legal issues against Idea Image.

I have the EXACT same problem! I went in with loose jiggly fat and left with a hard, feels like scar tissue swollen tummy.

I work out like crazy & eat healthy as well. I take supplements & anti bloating meds & laxatives & drink water & use sweat belts & scar creams & nothing changes. The surgeon said I "looked really bad & need a tummy tuck." The tech who performed my cool sculpting was not in & no one could find my before photos. I weigh less now but my waist protrudes more.

The surgeon was willing to credit the 2400 I spent on coolsculpting towards the 7000 tummy tuck. I take care of myself but have no sex life because of this & feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. Telling the story is exhausting.....oh & OA will only help you not get fatter from being depressed. I tried that too.

Diet pills will reduce the other areas but leave u with a tummy lump. Tried everything.

This is PAH (Paradoxical Adipose Hyperlasia) - ZELTIQ will pay 100% for your LIPO with a plastic surgeon. Lipo is the only way to get rid of the excess fat cells that your body created instead of the reverse.

This happens to one of every 20,000 treatments of CoolSculpting. No one knows who will get it or what causes it.

Go back to Ideal Image and let them know this is PAH. They will help you get the claim started.

Omg this looks terrible! I would be SO upset!

This a side effect of coolsculpt and you have the right to get your money back..The company that owns coolsculpt knows this is a side effect and the only thing that can correct it is surgery..Once they document the problem the company pays for the sugery. You need to go back to the location that you had the procedure fone so they can help you..

What do you tell the company who did it when you go back... Do you just ask for them to reverse it?

What about a gym? Christ for $4500 you could go to a gym every day of the week and only pay about $60 a month. For $4500 you could be at the gym for 6 years.

I work out 6 times a week. I eat clean with the occasional "cheat meal" I also had this procedure done because I wanted to get rid of a little bit of a pooch I had that was stubborn to go away and I too have this issue.

In 3 months my pooch looks like a beer gut.

I don't even drink. I don't eat sweets and drink a gallon of water a day.

I posted my short version of my story & it is identical to yours. I don't eat fried foods, sodas or sweets. And I look a few months pregnant.

No amount of diet or exercise will correct this. I have tried it all....including OA to stop emotional eating after I couldn't change what happened. I have lost 30 lbs but this swollen looking belly is identical to the one pictured in this post.
