Fat injections for cellulite

Without a physical exam it is really impossible to determine the proper treatment for your concerns. Dimpling caused by cellulite is not generally effectively treated by fat injections because the dimpled areas are tethered down by fibrous bands of tissue, they are not simply uneven areas of fat.

Dr Basu's posting is exactly correct. Very hard to advise over the internet. Best to have in person consults with certified CELLULAZE docs.

Treatment of Dimpling

It is difficult to make any recommendations without a physical exam or photos. My suggestion would be to see a board certified PS in your area who performs the Cellulaze procedure.
