Are African-Americans good candidates for Cellfina if there is previous history of keloid? Is there a risk of disfigurement?

February 27, 2016
Asked By:C.L.C. in Dallas, TX

I am interested in Cellfina but a little worried about the possibility of scarring from the procedure due to the fact I am African-American. I have had lunchtime Lipo before which required around 4 incisions, and although the incisions were small I did keloid. I am curious to know whether I wouldn't make a good candidate since I have a lot of dimples on the buttocks, and inner thighs.
