Tissue hardening after cellulite... Is it normal?

After treatment with the Cellfina System, fluid accumulation and tissue hardening are desired side-effects of the procedure and a normal part of the body’s healing process. Over several weeks time, fluid dissipates with the formation of new tissue. At 6 weeks, there can still be evidence of small pockets of fluid and tissue hardening in patients. Gentle massage can help patients to minimize discomfort and speed up the healing process. As treatment areas heal from the procedure, these side-effects resolve to reveal smoother, firmer skin. It is important to follow-up with your board-certified plastic surgeon to ensure proper healing and your satisfaction with the procedure. Good luck in your recovery!

It is normal to experience some lumps and bumps after Cellfina. I would suggest gentle massage in these areas. I would not be too concerned as long as the areas are not red, hot or painful. Give it time.

Hi there, Unfortunately there are side effects with most cosmetic elective procedures. Scar tissue can be formed during any invasive treatment. Massage and warm compresses can help with the hardening and discomfort you're experiencing. This can last several months. Visit your FACS for a follow up visit as soon as you can. #nodules  #scartissueaftercellfina   #dimples

Unfortunately this is a normal effect which happens in response to the fibrous septae bands being cut. You may be feeling some scar tissue build up. Massage is an excellent way to break this up, and over time it will subside. Best of luck to you!#cellfina #cellulite #hardlumps

Any time a soft tissue procedure is performed, such as Cellfina or liposuction, soft tissue lumps can be seen in the early post-op period. This usually resolves with massage and time as these tissues heal. I think the endermologie treatments will also help the process. Good luck!
