I have terrible cellulite on my legs and buttocks but I am also in need of liposuction in these areas. What is the downtime for liposuction? If I were to get cellfina first, would it be ineffective to get the liposuction in about a year?

Answer: Liposuction and Cellfina I would suggest you have Liposuction before having Cellfina. Liposuction can often create some unevenness and more of a dimpling effect, which Cellfina can release. #cellulite #cellfina #liposuction

Answer: Cellfina / Cellulite Reduction/ Liposuction/ Skin Tightening / BBL/ High Definition Procedures 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.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 or Ulthera 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.

Answer: Cellfina and Liposuction Cellfina and Liposuction address two different areas of concern. Liposuction is the surgical removal of fat cells through a suction device, where Cellfina is a minimally invasive procedure that releases the fibrous bands pulling down on the skin and creating a cellulite appearance. Liposuction will not help with cellulite, and Cellfina will not help with fat removal. If a patient has both issues occurring simultaneously, both procedures may be necessary for optimal correction. Consult your physician in regards to which procedure should be implemented first.
