Recent Cellulaze Experiences & Before/after Pics - San Antonio, TX

Hey, AMFSF, like I said if you didn't get it on your butt I am sure you are fine. How it feels unfortunately is like my butt has the consistency of a bowl of jello. When I try to make a muscle there is just so much less muscle mass than there used to be. I have found in the last week or two that with what I consider fairly strenuous exercise its not as bad. I've been running at the gym about an hour or so every other day & then doing squats/lunges on the alternating days. While its great I'm getting more exercise, unfortunately its pretty difficult with my work schedule & I would just prefer not to be in the situation. I need time to explore the options later. I've got to believe some other procedure can help. I'm thinking maybe a Brazilian buttlift to add back some firmness or even lipo just to get rid of what is jiggling around back there. So between the exercise & potential treatment options I'm feeling slightly better. At least I'm not crying at random times of the day anymore about it. Just really need to find time in my schedule to go out for some consultations. I still without a doubt would discourage anyone from getting it done on their butt (my butt btw doesn't even look any better) but at least I'm feeling less hopeless about the situation.

Hi Wessie see above. I'm going to write a reply under Eva's comment.

Hey Eva I have 3 consultations this week regarding the follow up procedure and if I get it done, it will be within the next few weeks. The laxity is still very much an issue (obviously).

What the of consultations do you have lined up to hopefully repair the laxity issue? Do you feel besides that problem of course, that the cellulaze was at all worth the pain and long healing process? I don't have much cellulite. I have two dimples in one of my rearend cheeks and one on the other as well as some little irregularities in the skin on the back of both thighs right end my rearend. My hope was that the a Cellulaze would be just the trick to smooth things out and tighten things up. Would you disagree?

Wessie I can only speak from my personal experience. I undoubtedly wish I had not had the procedure done at this point. The fixative procedures I am looking at are a Brazilian Buttlift or Buttock Implants. I really thought in today's day & age if you went to a very reputable doctor there really was no risk. Apparently I was wrong. While you probably don't want to hear it I would say if your problem really is minimal I would leave it alone. I may be the anomaly & know plenty of people are thrilled with their results but I am not. Again I think on the thighs it is probably fine but in retrospect I feel like the butt is probably too big/important of a muscle to be messing around with.

No, believe me, I completely understand what you're saying. I had a horrible complication from a fractional laser that many others rave about the results from. There is no way I'm having this procedure done if the outcome could potentially be as bad as you say. I really and truly sympathize with your Situation now and appreciate you sharing it with all of us. On a side note, if you happen to have the fat to harvest, I would certainly consider the Brazilian Butt Lift as opposed to the implants. I have seen both several times from many clients/friends and the BBL is much better option. I wish you the best of luck and again, thanks for your candor.

Hello Wessie, well after 4 consultations now I have learned the BBL really isn't an option for me. Apparently I don't have enough fat to harvest. I guess they can only use about a quarter of what they extract & I don't have enough that its going to make it feasible. So I am left with the implants option (very difficult logistically) or one other remote option I am looking into now. If I have any more info I will update this. Again, I think on the outer thighs the Cellulaze would have been fine. But in retrospect to do it on the outer thighs & buttocks is quite a lot of adjacent tissue to be messing around with if something goes wrong.

I'm just opting out of this procedure entirely. You aren't the only person I've heard of having this issue post Cellulaze and it seems to happen mostly to women that are overall fit and in shape but just looking for that extra little boost to look your best, like myself and you (from what you describe). I am very particular and notice everything so I'm sure if have something similar happen. Like I said it my last post to you, I had CO2 fractional resurfacing done and 6 months later started noticing a distinct creepiness I never had before as well as a loss of integrity in the tone and consistency of my skin. To say it was disturbing would be an understatement. I initially thought I was going crazy until I started researching and found many other women experiencing the same (if not worse) horrible side effects. These lasers are not for everyone and people need to realize how frequently things can go wrong. Please let us know how you come along in all of this. Again, Hoping for the best for you!!

Hi, Eva, thanks very much! Unfortunately I haven't been running too much because have been busy at work. But basically I would say the legs are slowly losing that "floppy" feeling and starting to feel more normal again. I spoke to the dr's office & they said it should continue like this up to the 6 month mark.

Hi, Eva, yes I have some old sports injuries as well! I find as long as I keep the mileage down they're tolerable. Obviously its not like alot of people in my daily life see me running so even if I have to live with the floppy running legs the procedure would still be worth it. But as I said the floppiness is slowly going away so that's even better!
