Will cellfina affect my bbl results? How long do I have to wait to do cellfina after a bbl? What is the recovery like for cellfina? Lots of brusing? Down time? Can you fly home a day after treatment (2 hour flight) do you have to wear a compression garment? Can you excercise a few days after the treatment? Is it very painful?
Answer: Cellfina after BBL I'm not sure why BBL was done in an area of cellulite. Broad-band light therapy is usually done for photodamage. There can be complications with pigmentation and rarely blistering with BBL. If you have Cellfina in the same area done soon after the BBL, and there is a complication from the BBL neither you nor your physician would know which caused the problem.Store-bought compression garments such as Spanx works well for a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the individual's treatment with Cellulite. I ask my patients not to fly for a few days so I can see them after Cellulite if there is a concern that develops.

Answer: Cellulite, Vaser Smooth, Thermi RF, Cellfina, Fat Transfer, Cellulaze, Subcision, Dimpling 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. Take care,Dr Schwartz Board Certified Plastic SurgeonDirector-Beverly Hills Breast and Body Institute

Answer: Cellfina before or after other treatments Cellfina is mostly a stand along procedure, specifically for the purpose of releasing cellulite tethers. It can be done at the same time as other procedures are done elsewhere on the body. The only limitation could be where one would reach a maximum allowable amount of total anesthetic in one visit. There is quite a bit of leakage of tumescent anesthesia for the first 24-48 hours so we send people home with absorbant chuck pads and a compression garment of some sort. Don't think you would want to be flying home right after this procedure but you would be find by next day or two. There is not a lot of swelling but be prepared for two weeks of fairly dramatic but only mildy uncomfortable bruising. Compression for a couple of weeks is important, but exercise as tolerated is fine.

Answer: Cellfina questions Cellfina should not affect your BBL results. In fact, they can be done at the same time. Recovery after Cellfina involves some soreness and drainage for 24-48 hours, mild bruising with no real down time. You should be able to comfortably fly 2-3 days afterwards. We have patients wear a compression garment for ~ 3 weeks afterwards. They can exercise several days after treatment.
