Will Cellfina help dings & dents from aggressive lipo?

Celfina is designed to treat larger cellulite dimples.  You are describing a different problem with is uneven fat removal from liposuction.  A better option would be to fat graft the depressed or oversuctioned areas.  You may need subcision to release the skin from the underlying scar tissue.  I would suggest combining fat grafting with PRP to increase fat graft survival.Dr. John Burns, MDDallas, TX

Hello there,Thank you for your question. Cellfina can help but it depends on the area and you would need a formal evaluation with a board-certified doctor who is very experienced in performing Cellfina treatments.  There are no contraindications to have Cellfina done with markers for either disorder.  Hope this helps.All the best,Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACSBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

It is best you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in-person to be examined. Such willl provide you with more available options according to the severity of indentations or dimpling. If you are deemed a candidate, you may benefit from #Cellfina. It is the newest, most effective FDA approved technology available for treating cellulite. This one-time, minimally invasive procedure takes only 45 minutes to perform, but the results last for a minimum of two years. #Cellfina has the longest lasting results of any current #cellulite treatment. Its approval rate is over 93% here on RealSelf.
Used on #moderate to #severe cellulite of the buttocks and #thighs, Cellfina works by treating the rubber-band-like connective tissue that causes cellulite. When these “rubber bands” under the skin are cut, the fat trapped underneath in dimples “snaps” back into place, creating a full, smooth appearance.There is no cutting and no incisions. To perform this controlled, precise, and safe procedure, a vacuum hand piece is placed over the dimpled tissue through which the surgeon will deliver a local anesthetic. Then a small, needle-like #microblade is inserted to release the fibrous bands, the cause of cellulite. 

Thank you for your question.  Cellfina is a cellulite treatment that works by targeting and eliminating fibrous bands that create visible dimpling (cellulite).  It is not the procedure of choice for liposuction revision.  In order to address your concern accurately and appropriately, I recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine treatment options.  I also recommend that you visit your primary care physician or specialist managing your lupus and Hashimotos conditions to ensure that symptoms are well managed prior to undergoing any additional cosmetic procedure.

All my best! Dr. Bengtson

Release of the depressions from lipo followed by fat grafting and skin tightening would probably make more sense than Cellfina. I have found Cellfina to work well for fibrous bands in cellulite but have no experience with it with liposuction deformities.

Thank you for your question.Cellfina is an FDA approved minimally invasive procedure that reduces the appearance of cellulite for at least two years on the buttocks and back of the thighs of women.

It works by releasing the internal bands that cause the cellulite dimpling and so we have not seen any fat atrophy. You should not see much of a difference with weight gain or loss but this also has not been studied.

Other areas of the body with dimpling, it is important to make sure it is truly cellulite before treatment.

It is common to have swelling bruising and firmness after the procedure. This can last for a few weeks.

It is different than Cellulaze which is a laser. 

If you have had previous poor results with cellulaze, you can still do Cellfina.

Cellfina has shown 100% noticeable improvement and 96% satisfaction in all patients at 2 years. 

Cellfina is designed to be a one time procedure. 

It can be used on women with all skin types but caution should be taken if theres a history of keloiding.

It can also be combined with other treatments such as Thermi or

Ulthera if skin tightening is needed.

We have done Sculpsure and Coolsculpting if fat reduction is wanted, but its best to wait 3 months to see the results before proceeding.

It can also be done at the same time as other procedures such as liposuction and BBL or as a stand alone procedure in the office.

Since Cellfina outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Cellfina or other treatments are available to meet your goals. 

Take care,

Your cellulite problem is a common one. Fortunately, finally there are effective ways to minimize this problem. Perhaps the least invasive one is  Cellfina™. Cellfina is the only FDA-cleared minimally invasive, one-time procedure clinically proven to improve the appearance of cellulite for at least two years—the longest FDA-cleared duration for a cellulite treatment. A straightforward solution to cellulite, Cellfina™, combines a proven approach with innovative, proprietary technology, to produce precise, long-lasting results and has a high satisfaction rating on RealSelf. Together with Velashape 3, a non invasive procedure to help "shrink wrap the skin" and further minimize cellulite as a combination treatment is perhaps your best chance for taking care of this tough problem. Cellulaze is also a possible treatment but much more invasive

This is difficult to answer without pictures. If this is cellulite, it can be treated with a combination of cellfina and other treatments like sculptra, fillers, Thermi and Renuva fat matrix injections.  However, post liposuction irregularities need fat grafting or a secondary/revision liposuction procedure using VASER HI DEF.  Best, Dr. Emer.

CELLFINA is indicated for cellulite. Irregularities from liposuction can be treated with CELLFINA but may or may not improve. Irregularities from Lipo are best treated with more lipo and/or fat grafting. 

Thank you for your question. Cellfina is approved for the long term
treatment of cellulite by releasing the bands which cause dimpling. That
being said, unless your cellulite was made worse by the liposuction
procedure, I doubt it will be of significant benefit. 
I would
recommend seeking a consultation with a body sculpting expert. A couple
of possible treatment options would be BodyTite by InMode and ThermiTight. These
are both radio-frequency devices where a probe is inserted to the
target areas to melt fat and tighten the overlying skin. This minimally
invasive procedure is performed with tumescent anesthesia as your
liposuction was. These procedures are sometimes accompanied by other
treatments to smooth out the irregularities including Sculptra
Aesthetic, Fat Transfer, and Venus Legacy or BTL Exilis. Without
examining the areas it is difficult to give a more precise suggestion.As for your Hashimoto's and Lupos markers, unless you have active signs and symptoms of thyroid disease or a connective tissue disorder, these should not be a problem. You should consult with your primary physician if you have a concern.
