Back of thighs lumpy, hyperpigmentation, and nodules 5 weeks post Cellfina. Any remedy?

Question

Legs look 10x worse than before. Only had 7/8 dimples. Now all lumpy and wavy and discolored. Dr recommended velashape. Done 2 sessions. Been wearing compression. No improvement in 5 weeks. Dr also recommends kybella but I'm not considering it yet. Devastated by the results.

Recovery after Cellfina can take 6-12 months to seea final result. Lumpiness, bruising and discoloration are  usually temporary. Be encourage and give itsome time. Kybella is not for cellulite treatment.Discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Sameer Bashey, MD · Answer

CELLFINA is used for dimple type cellulite. Much of what I see is in fact not cellulite at all such as loose tissue, laxity, textural change, areas where there may be more or less fat. CELLFINA should only be used on dimpled cellulite (oval, linear, etc). Expect bruises and pigmentation can occur (neither is permanent). Knots and bumps that can be felt under the skin can also occur and may last several weeks. Compression helps but the remodeling that occurs after the subcision takes a few months to complete. Talk to your doctor. This procedure has a very very high satisfaction rate.
