I had cellulaze done in mid April and the results have been fantastic. I, like many of the women on the forum, am of normal weight, but have been cursed with cellulite since my early 30's (43 now). While there is definitely still some bumpiness, there is noticeable smoothing and skin tightening. I also had laser lipo on my saddlebags and inner thighs (honestly didn't notice them before because I was so distracted by my cellulite!) and the overall results have been stunning. I actually didn't experience much bruising (and I bruise VERY easily)--my MD uses these foam pads against the area, under the compression garment, which apparently lessens the bruising. If you are considering the procedure, don't expect to come out looking like a Sports Illustrated model--the results are great, but not perfection.
I did experience a little more pain than I thought I would, but it was mostly discomfort when sitting. In my opinion, the promotional videos minimize the amount of pain.

Your results look great, especially for considering you are only 8 weeks out.

How long did you wear your compression garment for?

July 12, 2012
I wore the compression garment from the MD for about a week, the switched to spanx. I wore the spanx consistently for about another two weeks, then only for working out for about the next four.

Oh wow, that seems less than what most people have done. Since things are looking so great for you, do you have anything else you might attribute it to, such as supplements you took or anything like that?

July 12, 2012
No supplements besides normal multivitimins, etc....I returned to exercise after a week (flat walking for the first few days, then hiking hills after about 10 days). I think that may have helped with the swelling. Honestly not sure what made my healing seemingly better than most. I did mention that my MD places these foam pads that cover the entire affected area under the garment immediately following the procedure (and kept on for the first 2-3 days). He says it minimizes bruising, so I imagine that less bruising = faster recovery?? Only downside to the padding was that I looked like the Michelin man for the first few days : )

Haha, yeah I can understand the Michelin Man comparison! It seems a lot of people use the foam padding. Perhaps you are just one of the lucky ones. :)

Keep us posted on how things are looking & how you feel!

I honestly think you look really awesome.  I notice significant differences in your thighs, the smoothness and tightness as well.  You look fabulous!  Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Jlr819 - you have definitely seen improvement. Even if you had tanned, it would not have made as much of an improvement as you are showing. If getting a tan could make as much of a difference as has been suggested (and as your latest after photo demonstrates), then none of us would be needing to consider this procedure! I find it hard to believe that anyone would try to dispute the significance of your improvement based on your well-lit after photo. You look great!

Seriously anyone who is saying that they can't see a significant reduction in cellulite from your before pic, needs and eye exam LOL You had D-R-A-M-A-T-I-C results (all capitalized for emphasis ;) Thank you very much! I can't wait for my procedure!
