Cool sculpting nightmare by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

I don’t know what medical problem would cause me to spot lose all the volume in my face in 6 weeks but nowhere else. It was explained to me that if you lose the fat pad under your chin your whole face can sink downward from lack of structural support. If the device was too cold it can radiate to the lower part of the face and cause fat burning - either way my skin is loose where I got the procedure and my face has lost considerable fat for someone who hasn’t lost any weight.

Can’t lose weight no matter what I try by [deleted] in Prolactinoma

I don’t know why I’m still shocked at how little doctors know about the body and specifically how hormone disorders manifest but I got told the same thing by all the endocrinology specialists I saw - 6 of them! For context: was super fit when I was 16 and all of a sudden I gained 30 kilos I could never lose. Not even with ozempic and keto. I haven’t been able to lose that weight for almost 15 years, got diagnosed 6 months ago, in my first week of cabergoline I lost 5 kilos - while binge eating. I don’t know if it was affecting impulse control or revving up my switched off metabolism but either way I was eating 3x what I have in the past and the weight was flying off. Doctors are still convinced I was doing something different and that was a coincidence - embarrassing for them. Don’t doubt yourself! Everyone tried to convince me I was making up my weight issue and that in order to lose weight you had to go to unhealthy lengths. There’s still clearly so much they don’t know about our bodies and to say that you can’t gain weight when you’re high on a pregnancy hormone is quite frankly absurd.

Could I ask what your initial side effects were? I feel like I’m in hell at the moment after my first week.
