Just Did It in Ft. Laud.

I had the procedure done yesterday and I am so relieved. I had a great deal of anxiety about my decision. I am 47 years old and eat healthy and exercise often and do not have a weight issue. I could not get rid of the cellulite after trying mesotherapy, lasers, creams et al....I went for 3 consults and decided on Dr. Blinski in Miami. He was the most knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable. I had my front, inner, outer and back of thighs and my lower butt area. He uses general anesthesia and I obviously didn't feel anything. I was worried how I would feel afterwards.

Yesterday when I came home I was a bit uncomfortable. I took extra strength tylenol and 1/2 of a pain pill. Before I went to bed I took the other 1/2 and some more tylenol and a sleeping pill. Today I am just sore - no pain. It's just sore getting up and down out of bed and sitting on the toilet. I'll keep you posted on my progress but so far so good and the procedure really wasn't bad

I'm glad to hear your first couple of days after the treatment were ok. How are things now?

I went to the dr. today for my follow up visit. So far so good. He suggested that I take the tape off which he uses to help the healing process. If you leave the tape on too long your skin can blister. The best way to take the tape off is to remove in the shower. I have some bruising but not horrible. Still sore but not horrible. I think the arnica and bromeline helps. Just difficult sitting down and getting up. My doctor wanted me to continue wearing the garment with the pads for a few more days as they are stronger than the spanx. I ended up getting a different garment in Miami Lakes that is quite tight because the pads are too bulky for under my work slacks. I went back to work this afternoon and all is well...

Wow, back to work already?! Do you mind me asking what kind of work you do? I'm mainly just curious if you are sitting, or up and about most of the day.

That is good. I bet in some ways its better to be back at work anyways so you have your mind on other things besides the treatment. :)

Hi everyone. I wanted to provide an update. It's been almost 2 weeks. I had the stitches removed yesterday and I'm going for my 3rd massage tomorrow. Its a bit painful at first but then it feels so much better. My massage therapist is wonderful. She's at the drs office. She is from columbia and advises that in Columbia, massage is as just as important as the procedure. I have been going 2 times per week and will continue for a while. It's not pleasant wearing the undergarment but i'm going to continue 24/7 for as long as the dr says i need to. i've been using Leggs capri's that can be found at the drug store - not horrible. i can't wait until i can work out....i think another 2 weeks and I will be able to. I also want to mention that the dr and the office are fabulous! Not so sure about results yet. I know that i need to wait until 3-6 months and i have realistic expectations (50-80% improvement) but looks like there may be improvement! I'm hopeful.

Jblft.laud, I just came across your post. I've been trying to read everyone's as I want to know the range of everyone's experience. And it's quite a range. I'm 43 and am scheduled for cellulaze Nov 26. I'm very anxious too so much so that I called the Dr's office today to see if I can be moved up sooner, it was a no. I've Sigh, I just want it over with.

Whoops, wasn't done. Your recovery is very encouraging and I'm really looking forward to having the same recovery as you've been experiencing. I had lipo 20 yrs ago which resulted in a negative experience & a TT six yrs ago after my third child (best thing I ever did). I lead a healthy lifestyle, eat well, don't smoke, rarely drink and see a trainer three days a week. Cellulite is something that I've not been able to improve for the most part. I'm looking forward to your reading updates.
