Where my Texas Girls At? - Texas

I have tried everything under the sun to get rid of my horrible cellulite - gels/creams, dry brushing, endermologie, laser, red light therapy, massage, skinny wraps. NOTHING has worked! I am 39, 5'8" and 134 lbs. I have maintained this weight my entire adult life, minus the "freshman 15" and my 2 pregnancies. I eat healthy for the most part, drink tons of water and have exercised consistently since I was 14! Blame it on genetics, I guess. I really want this procedure but have yet to see anyone from Texas getting it done. What am I missing? There are no doctors who perform it where I live, but can travel to Dallas. Surely there are doctors there performing it. Would love to hear from anyone who has had Cellulaze in Dallas or other TX city. I see that a Dr. Lester is affiliated with RealSelf.

I'm right there with you. All the working out in the world does not seem to help. Although my cellulite is not severe, I haven't worn shorts in 5 years. I just want help. I have two consults in Dallas next week. We shall see.

I'm the same as you two. I was just discussing this with a girlfriend today - I eat right, exercise, am in good shape but feel self conscious about the bit of cellulite I currently have and know it's not going to be getting any better on its own...ugh.

I'm glad you two found each other to discuss providers in Texas. I just pulled up Dr. Lester's profile and it does look like he offers the treatment. He currently has a special promo going for 20% off Cellulaze so I'd call the office & ask about that.

Here is the wording in the promo:

20% off Cellulaze Treatment
Please call us to attend a free event and meet Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Fred Lester. Hear him discuss the latest technology to get the best body you have ever had.

If I'm understanding it right, it sounds like the event is tomorrow night. Not sure if they will be planning others or not, but thought I'd at least mention it so hopefully you can save some $. :)

Please keep us posted on what you find out & if you decide to do it or not!

Carol1125, your timeline sounds like mine. I had it done April 28. How are you doing now? I still have achiness, bruising, and numbness. :(

Hi Chelsea Lew. I still have a little soreness when i walk on the front of my thighs. You still have bruising?. I haven't had brusing in weeks. Did you take Arnica Montana for bruising? That is proven to help. i still have numbness. I had swelling in my thighs for a long time. A little still in my ankles. I see some difference. I know you have to be patient, so I'm trying like everyone else who had it done.

Thanks for your reply. Glad to hear someone else is in the same boat. I took the Arnica for three weeks. Don't know how much it has helped. It's hard when my daughter wants to sit on my lap or when someone pats my leg or whatever and it HURTS. Someone else on here said it's like watching paint dry to see the results. Exactly. Going on vacation in a month and just want to be back to normal. :)

No problem. Oh, you took the Arnica for three weeks and still bruise?
. Wow, I only took it for 8 days with improvement. Oh, I know what you mean. It's ok until someone touches your leg! And i would add it's like watching paint dry when the humidity is 100%.LOL! Hopefully you will feel a lot better in a month for your vacation. It will get better.

Where did you have it done?

I had a lot and so they broke it down to two days. Had the other half done on June 1st. I flew from Chicago to New Jersey to Dr. DiBernardo,the lead doctor in the trials.

So, Dr. DiBernardo says that swelling, numbness, and sensitivity are all normal for 6 weeks out? Dr. Lester below said that it could last for 2-3 months. I was shocked. My doctor never mentioned that at all. I'm going to say something to him about it at my 6-week appt. later this week.

Where did you have your procedure done if you don't mind me asking?

Dr. Powell at FemSmart in Irving. I liked him a lot and he has done more than anyone in the Dallas area, but he really didn't talk to me about what recovery would be like. Maybe they are still learning, too.

Yes, that is normal, unfortunately. I am six weeks out for the first half and not even a week for the other parts. Very sore for the parts that were done on June 1st. Hardly sore for front of my thighs anymore, which was done six weeks ago and outer. This isn't a procedure for a quick fix. Your body is healing and building new collagen. To me it's worth it to have my cellulite improve. I couldn't stand to look at it in the mirror. It would always get me down. Things will get better. Good you see your doc this week.

I'm gonna try to attend Dr. lester's event tomorrow! I'll update you all if I make it there.

We would love to see you at the event this evening. We are offering the discount as well if you call in and purchase. We also ask that you would try to send us pictures just so the Doctor can say you are right for the procedure. We are very happy with the results we are seeing. It is a wonderful and exciting break thru for women who struggle with cellulite. Dr. Lester is wonderful and has actually been contacted to become a trainer to other doctors and teach them advanced techniques and how to perform cellulaze. If you are interested please do not hesitate to call. I do not think we will be doing a discount like this again.

Dr. Lester, what are you seeing with women who are 6 weeks out? I am at 5 weeks and still have numbness and am very sensitive to the touch. When will this be better?
FLester
June 4, 2012
Some of our patients experience more pain and sensitivity to the skin then others. Everyone has some patches of numbness that gradually resolve with time. I would expect you to continue to improve over time. I would check with your surgeon if painful areas last longer than 3 months. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Had a Consultation with Dr. Charles Powell on Friday. He's probably one of the nicest docs I've ever met. His office manager Courtney is a doll. I have my pre-op tomorrow and procedure on Friday. Yikes!!!! I'm praying this works.

How exciting! I have heard it works better on mild to moderate cases, so I bet you will get great results! Please keep us posted!
