Cellulaze - California

I am now 2 weeks away from the holy grail 3 month mark and am disappointed overall. I am therefore officially giving this procedure a "not worth it" rating. While the skin on the back of my thighs is slightly smoother and tighter, the skin on my buttocks (the entry point for some of the incisions) is still very loose and saggy, whereas it was NOT at all saggy before. So - not only are the improvements negligible, but some areas are actually markedly worse post-procedure. I look back at my before pictures and they actually look better sadly. This was a HUGE lesson - I will never again pay so much for a cosmetic procedure that has such long-term and ambiguous results... If, by some outside chance, I have a miraculous turn-around in the next few months I will certainly let everyone know. But as of now, I would say that for the high cost, this procedure provides very minor improvement with the possibility of actually looking worse, and this all comes with a lot of pain and inconvenience.

NOT WORTH IT

Hi - I am about 1.5 months out from my surgery date of May 14th and still don't see that much difference. Some of the dimples are slightly more shallow but still there. One unexpected result from the procedure is that some of the skin on my butt seems looser and jiggly (which make sense, since the laser actually detaches the skin from the underlying tissue). My doctor assures me it will become firm over the next few months and reattach to the skin - I sincerely hope he's right b/c as of now, my butt looks worse than it did pre-procedure. Going into this, it was the back of my thighs I was concerned with, not my butt, so if cellulaze ends up making me look worse in the end I will be beside myself and my doctor will definitely hear about it. He has given me 2 more free vasershapes "to help smooth things out" which is also disconcerting. Isn't the whole point of this, that one procedure is supposed to rid you of like 80% of your cellulite??? Anyways, I am working out like a mad woman right now trying to lose the 7 lbs i gained during the down time... I wear skin tight pants when excercising that act as a compression garment and I don't do a ton of running since running and jumping doesn't feel great. Has anyone else experienced the look and feel of the looser, jiggly skin post-procedure???? Wondering if i'm the only one.... I also feel as though some scar tissue has begun to form beneath skin, as there are certain areas that seem much more firm to the touch than others... Anyone else seeing/feeling this too??

I have to say i'm leaning toward the not worth it rating but will wait until the end of August to give my final review.

OK - My Dr gave me 2 free vaser shape treatments to assist with reducing swelling/ "enhancing results"... I'm also getting a weekly lymphatic massage to speed up the healing process as well... This better work dangit! all this soreness, money and downtime better be worth it (i.e. I JUST started working out again, not to mention the hit my sex life has taken!)... I would strongly encourage people that are considering this procedure to WAIT until most of us reach that crucial 3 month mark and can determine whether it was "worth it" or not... In retrospect I'm a little skeptical of some of the reviews posted in the March/early April time-frame - they all posted raving reviews and their collective experiences seemed to be a LOT more rosy compared to the majority of women who have posted more recently... makes me wonder whether they are legit...
