Hello and thank-you for your question!Cellfina is the latest break though for the treatment of cellulite. The treatment targets the fibrous bands which are the source of the dimpling in cellulite. It is most effective for the treatment of deep dimples and depressions of the buttocks and back of the thighs. it is less effective in the treatment of generalized waviness. Cellfina is a minimally invasive treatment performed in the office. We are seeing an extremely high level of satisfaction for our patients treated with Cellfina. The investigational studies for Cellfina have just been released and have shown an impressive patient satisfaction rate of 85% at 3 months, 94% at one year and 96% at 2 years. This is a very exciting solution for the many women who suffer from the embarrassment of cellulite.Our patients report some drainage for 24 hour and soreness for 2-3 days. You may want to give it 2-3 days before your flight. I would recommend a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area.Best regards, Andrew Lyos MD, FACS
It is not a matter of whether you can fly home or not... you should consider possible bruising after the procedure that you may not want right before vacation.The Cellfina procedure isa minimally invasive one that numbs the area around the dimple on your buttocksor thighs, and then treats the connective bands woven throughout the fat thatpull down the skin, creating dimpling seen on the skin’s surface. The Cellfinacellulite procedure works by precisely treating these tethered bands, causingthem to fully release. Similar to a rubberband under tension, once released,the treated skin bounces back to smooth itself out in as little as three days.Weight gain or weight lossshould not affect the outcomes and the results have been seen for over 2 years(if not more). It is truly a reallyexciting new technology that most women can benefit from.
