Can Cellulaze and Lipo Be Done on the Same Area at the Same Time? Thanks to Everyone Who Has Helped with my Questions. (photos)

Question

re: Cellulaze vs Butt-lift, Many have recommended that I have lipo/BBL to shape my behind instead. However, I HATE cellulite. I am wondering if it is possible & advisable to perform Cellulaze and lipo on the same area at the same time, or if it would be better to wait between the procedures (or if we do not yet know if Cellulaze can be safely combined with lipo). Also, is certain type of body/weight more prone to varicose vein side effects from Cellulaze? Your advice is sincerely appreciated.

Cellulite affects up to 85% of adult women and can be extremely difficult to #correct. Many treatments are ineffective or take multiple sessions to complete with very temporary results. If you are deemed a candidate, you may benefit from #Cellfina. Cellfina 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 buttock 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. Seek more information or learn if you are candidate for #Cellfina by consulting in-person with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon.

Thank you for the pictures! Cellulaze and liposuction of the same area should not be performed at the same setting. Liposuction of another area can be performed at the same time as Cellulaze. You do appear to be a good candidate for Cellulaze. Depending on how much fat is present, determining which procedure should be done first may be a decision that you make with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Either way, the procedures should be separated by 3-6 months. Good luck!

Cellulaze and Smartlipo can be done at the same time, but please consult with your surgeon prior to booking your procedure. During your consultation your doctor will tell you which procedure will benefit you and help you to see the best result.

Although you are an excellent candidate for Cellulaze, I would not have it done at the same time. The BBL might actually resolve some of the cellulite as the fat, if well distributed, will smooth out the contours. I would wait for several months after the lipo/BBL before working on the cellulite.

No this concept has been circulating for a few months. The answer is a NO. The Cellulaze treats only subdermally thus to remove subcutaneous fats would defeat the theory of the Cellulaze treatments.

Unfortunately, Cellulaze cannot be performed at the same time as liposuction of the same area. However, if you wanted liposuction of a different area, that could be done at the same time as the Cellulaze procedure. This is done all the time. If you were to need liposuction of the same area as an area with cellulite, the procedures should be separated by at least 6 months

Hello. Good question. I have done Cellulaze
and SmartLipo in the same areas at the same time with very good results. I have
also done Smart Lipo first then followed months later with Cellulaze. If you
were to stagger them I would do the lipo first as you may get some improvement
in shape with this alone or it may reduce the areas in which you are concerned
about having Cellulaze. In my practice in the Bay Area I have come to the
conclusion that the happiest patients are those that have realistic expectation
on what Cellulaze or Smartlipo can do for them. Hope this helps! Good luck,
Dean Vistnes.
