If a person undergoes Cellfina to reduce cellulite and then gain or lose weight will the results change?

Cellfina: affects of weight gain and weight lossThere are no studies to my knowledge, but in general , changes in weight always affect fat collections, cellulite and laxity of skin.  This is true of liposuction or any cosmetic surgical and non surgical procedure.  These will also be affected by aging, pregnancy and other health issues that change the integrity of the skin and underling support structures.

Cellfina is an FDA approved minimally invasive procedure that reduces the appearance of cellulite for at least two years on the buttocks and back of the thighs of women.It works by releasing the internal bands that cause the cellulite dimpling and so we have not seen any fat atrophy. You should not see much of a difference with weight gain or loss but this also has not been studied.Other areas of the body with dimpling, it is important to make sure it is truly cellulite before treatment.It is common to have swelling bruising and firmness after the procedure. This can last for a few weeks.It is different than Cellulaze which is a laser. If you have had previous poor results with cellulaze, you can still do Cellfina.Cellfina has shown 100% noticeable improvement and 96% satisfaction in all patients at 2 years. Cellfina is designed to be a one time procedure. It can be used on women with all skin types but caution should be taken if theres a history of keloiding.It can also be combined with other treatments such as Thermi orUlthera if skin tightening is needed.We have done Sculpsure and Coolsculpting if fat reduction is wanted, but its best to wait 3 months to see the results before proceeding.It can also be done at the same time as other procedures such as liposuction and BBL or as a stand alone procedure in the office.Since Cellfina outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Cellfina or other treatments are available to meet your goals.

Cellfina allows us to lyse the fibrous bands responsible for cellulite. It has been accompanied by good long term results. We advise patients to maintain their weight afterwards, being concerned that change in weight may adversely affect the results.

The Cellfina procedure is a minimally invasive one that numbs the area around the dimple on your buttocks or thighs, and then treats the connective bands woven throughout the fat that pull down the skin, creating dimpling seen on the skin’s surface. The Cellfina cellulite procedure works by precisely treating these tethered bands, causing them 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 loss should not affect the outcomes and the results have been seen for over 2 years (if not more). It is truly a really exciting new technology that most women can benefit from.

Cellfina is the latest break though for the treatment of cellulite. Cellfina targets the fibrous bands which are the source
of the dimpling in cellulite. It is most effective for the treatment of dimples
and depressions of the buttocks and outer thighs. Once released, the cellulite should not re-occur in the treated area. As with all body contouring procedures, the goal should be maintenance of your weight through healthy lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. Significant weight gain or loss may cause worsening of cellulite in untreated areas.  Minor weight fluctuations should not affect your results.  The results for Cellfina are long-lasting with an amazing two year patient satisfaction rate of 96%!  Cellfina is a relatively new technology and on going studies will further clarify the long term benefits of Cellfina.
