Question

After a lipo to get rid of some fat on the side i was left with a more dents and irregularities. The goal was to get rid of the cellulite and make the side of the leg go straight instead of the round lump of fat I had. But the procedure was a disaster.The doctor falsely promised me those results now I know lipo actually causes more celullite than actually diminish it. Wish I knew before! :(How should i fix this? Fillers? Fat dissolver? Cellfina i really want a good answer for this. Im a size 4.

There are both surgical maneuvers and noninvasive and minimally invasive procedures for this including body fx and body tite.

Hi a realselfie,Thank you for your question and your photos. I would recommend several consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons that offer liposuction and cellfina. Liposuction by itself does not make cellulite worse however if too much fat is removed, the skin become loose and can appear to create the illusion of cellulite. I'm sorry that you had such a poor outcome. I would discuss your concerns with your board-certified plastic surgeon to see if he could help.You may need a combination of Cellfina, possible fat graftingAnd maybe even some skin removal but again without a physical examination it is hard to tell exactly what you need. Some wide skin undermining might also help but again discuss this with A board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience in correcting botched liposuction jobs. Good luck.All the best,Carlos Mata MD, MBA, FACSBoard-certified plastic surgeon

The best treatment for cellulite is Cellfina. However, a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement.  I recommend Cellfina in combination with Sculptra, and body treatments like Exilis Ultra/Venus Legacy, Cellutone/z wave. A VASER HI DEF revision procedure can be done for more contouring. I recommend you see an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Charles Galanis, MD · Answer

You are correct in that liposuction is NOT a treatment for cellulite although it should not necessarily make it worse either.  Cellfina is a reasonable non-invasive method to treat cellulite.  For areas of contour abnormality not associated with cellulite, another round of liposuction (take more fat away) or fat grafting (put fat back) may be indicated to improve the problem.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

Liposuction won't cause cellulite. However, it can make it look worse. Sounds as if you got the wrong procedure for your core issue. I would suggest that you find a surgeon who does Cellfina. The results from this treatment are pretty astounding.
