Liquid facelift is a safe place to start.

Thank you for the inclusive photos. Fillers will give you the structure back and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) will balance out the color, texture and tone. Together combined in a level 2 Vampire facelift you should get what your looking for. PRP can be placed safely where filler is not used for a nice finish. If you need more color revision lasers are indicated but should be completed before any fillers.

CoolSculpting complications: top part of my stomach just under my rib cage is incredibly painful.

Hello Suzieg, Pain can be frustrating, depending on the placement of the applicator and type of applicator used. Isolate cutaneous (skin) nerves can become inflammed during the process of fat removal. This was seen with the older hand pieces. Your provider will be able to manage this for you. Just contact them and explain the situation. This problem normaly resolves within 3-4 weeks after the initial treatment.

It varies.

Cool Sculpting will only work on pinchable fat. If you can touch it and move it, you can treat it. The abdomen also has fat on the inside of the abdominal wall that is not treatable. This requires a medical approach. Your Doctor can let you know which type you have and how to treat it. You can contact Zeltiq through their Customer service number listed on their website.
