Does the Cool Lipo Damage the Nerves?

Two years ago I had a full tummy tuck with muscle tightening. I am unhappy with the results and still have abdominal pain. The pain is nerve related an entrapped nerve. Can Cool Lipo improve appearance without doing more nerve damage?

Laser liposuction including Cool Lipo has much less risk to damage
nerves than a full tummy tuck. It is theoretically possible to damage
nerves permanently, though I have not seen or heard myself or from
others about this complication. However, many patients will have a
transient period of numbness as the abdomen is healing from the
swelling which takes several weeks usually.
