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.
CellFina treatment and follow-up is very straight-forward with very minimal complications, however there is some pretty significant drainage the first 24-48 hours. We would recommend you not travel until about the 3rd day after treatment. For instance for patients out of town we perform many of these procedures on a Friday allowing you to recover over the weekend. We can see you either Sunday or Monday am and you can travel back home at that time. Pain is minimal with little down time except for the drainiage and some bruising.All my Best!Dr Bengtson
