A PAH also known as a paradoxical adipose hyperplasia will look like a firm, raised and also often an irregular enlargement of fat tissue.

The area affected with PAH or paradoxical adipose hyperplasia is also sometimes described as stick of butter or having a bubble or a tumor appearance under your skin.

PAH presents itself as an enlargement in the treated area with the affected tissue appearing firmer than the surrounding untreated areas.

The shape of the tissue that is affected with PAH often also reflects the shape of the applicator used during the treatment and is often described as a stick of butter.

The fat that is affected by PAH is firm instead of soft like normal fat would be and can also feel like hard lumps or even knots.

The affected area with PAH may also appear irregular and raised and have bulges or pronounced asymmetries.

PAH can also be very upsetting to some people because of the results being the opposite of what was actually intended which is fat reduction.

PAH is also not painful or dangerous physically and is a rare phenomenon that can occur in some people after CoolSculpting or cryolipolysis.
