Disappointed So Far (At 6 Weeks) - Virginia & Maryland

Hi All.....It's now 6 months later. It does look better...though not as great as I had hoped. But it is better than before the surgery. I do not have any more numbness, though the numbness and slight agitation stayed with me for a long time. If I had to do it again, I probably wouldn't.....a lot of pain for about a 50% improvement. Best of luck to all of you. If the results get even better after 8 months or so, I'll let you know.

Thanks Dr. DiBernardo. I wrote the comment right below yours ("Negative Nelly"), and I am now in my 14th week (about 2.5 months). Just 2 days ago, I started to feel as if..."hey..maybe this is looking better now". Again today, I looked down and it felt like it was improving. Upon my last visit with my doctor, he did tell me to massage the area, so I started to do that about 4 weeks ago, but haven't done it for about the past 10 days. So....I am going to keep my fingers crossed, and continue to monitor it. It does look better than it did at week #6. ...not majorly better, but definitely better. Thanks for your words of encouragement.

Thanks Ictx. So, you haven't seen results at 5 months? My doctor keeps assuring me that "this works", but I really am concerned. As I mentioned, it looks worse than before I got it done, and I feel awful wearing shorts or a short skirt. So, I'm bummed out. I'll keep my fingers crossed, and will do massage...though I'm not sure how to do that. I assume it's just basically using my hands to kind of work over that area...? I am still numb and it does hurt to do too much massaging, but I'll do my best. Thanks for the moral support!

I'm probably being redundant with my replies, but maybe you'll get this personally in your inbox...I had the Cellulaze treatment about 6 weeks ago and am NOT seeing results. In fact, it looks worse than before I started. I have a good surgeon. I've been seeing him for over 10 years. He did lipsuction for me, breast implants, botox, and juviderm. I've been happy with everything else he's done. However, this Cellulaze has not worked for me yet. He said to be patient, that it could take up to 6 months, but it seems that most people see results by now. So far, I am disappointed, and worried.
