The Risks of CoolSculpting: Influencer's Troubling Side Effects.

Influencer Abbey Sharp shared her negative experience with CoolSculpting, a fat-reduction procedure that uses cryolipolysis to freeze and destroy fat cells. Sharp experienced paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), a rare side effect that causes overgrowth of fatty tissue, leaving her with lumps and bumps in the treated areas. Although manufacturer data suggests PAH occurs in 1 in every 4,000 treatments, underreporting may be an issue. Plastic surgeons have differing opinions on the safety of CoolSculpting, with some recommending caution until more research is done on the potential risks.
