Is Cellulaze Really Not an Option for Me? (photo)

I have what I consider to be bad cellulite on the backs of my thighs and butt (I am 24, 125lbs). I recently went for a consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in cellulaze. He examined me and told me that my cellulite is not that bad and that it is mostly from aging, that I would only see about 30% improvement and that I should wait until I am older. I know these pictures are bad quality but I don't understand why I am not a candidate and wonder if I should get another opinion

Get A Second Opinioin for Cellulaze

I agree the light is difficult to evaluate in your photos. You do have your age on your side, at 24...your skin should have good elasticity and I believe I do see some form of treatable Cellulite in your photos.The only thing that would prevent you from having a great result would be if you have what we call contour irregularity, or excess fat...too much for the Cellulaze device to treat appropriately. Smart lipo of another fat removal technique however could treat that portion.Go get... more

Cellulaze am I a candidate?

Get a second opinion. Your photos do not demonstrate the severity of your cellulite. It is very difficult to take quality photos of cellulite because you need proper lighting. Having said that, based on the photos you posted, it appears as though you might be a candidate for Cellulaze. It has been my experience that people who have mild to moderate cellulite are good candidates, however, if you have an extremely mild case of cellulite, you may not get enough of a result to... more

Cellulaze Treatment

Thank you for your question. Cellulaze delivers the best results for women who are not significantly overweight but have mild to moderate cellulite on their thighs. Based on your photos, I believe you would be a good candidate for the treatment. I would suggest getting a second opinion from another Cellulaze physician.

Cellulaze option

From our photos you have a crease in the upper third of your posterior thigh that will not be well treated with Cellulaze. The rest of the cellulite is relatively mild and you are an excellent candidate for the procedure.

Is Cellulaze an option for me?

Thank you for the photos. They show mild cellulite on the posterior thighs and buttocks.Unfortunately, the lighting is not optimal to evaluate these photos properly. You also have small banana rolls, which the Cellulaze laser cannot fix. Remember, the smaller the deformity, the lesser the imrovement. You would need to be seen by another surgeon who has experience with the Cellulaze laser (admittedly, most of us have limited experience, just a few months). Good luck.

Are you a Cellulaze candidate?

Greetings~ It's difficult to judge with any certainty without seeing a patient in person if they are an ideal candidate for Cellulaze. From the photos you posted, I would have to agree that your Cellulite is relatively mild so your end results with not be as dramatic as someone with severe cellulite. After the procedure, though there would be improvement, the treated areas would not be flawless. The appearance of the legs is also very much dependent on the... more
