Would weight loss after cellfina treatment affect the results?
Answer: Cellfina / Cellulite treatment / Body contouring procedures/ Liposuction I appreciate your question. Weight loss should not affect the results of Cellfina. Cellfina is targeting the structural cause of cellulite, so weight changes should not significantly alter the results. Massive weight loss may lead to skin laxity but should have no affect on the fibrous bands of the dimples that have been released by the Cellfina procedure The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz

Answer: Weight loss should not compromise Cellfina results Weight loss after Cellfina treatment should not significantly affect results. Once the fibrous bands causing cellulite dimples are released with Cellfina, improvements in surface contour persist for 2 years or more. Large weight loss could result in surface irregularities from worsening skin laxity but should not contribute to recurrence of the fibrous bands and dimples.

Answer: Would weight loss affect cellfina results? Cellfina is a minor surgical release of the fibrous bands under the skin which cause cellulite. Weight loss afterwards may loosen your skin but should not affect those fibrous bands corrected by Cellfina.

Answer: Weight loss should not affect Cellfina results Hello and thank-you for your question!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 loss may cause worsening of skin laxity, but should not affect the Cellulite in Cellfina treated areas. Significant increase in weight should not affect the appearance of cellulite in Cellfina treated areas, but may cause cellulite to appear 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.Best regards,Andrew Lyos MD, FACS

Answer: Cellulite reduction from Cellfina should not change with weight loss There is no reason to expect that there would be a diminished good result after Cellfina treatment from weight loss. Some cellulite does worsen with weight gain as this pushes the skin higher above its infrastructure, but the vertical collagen bands hold down the skin in focal areas making the skin's surface look indented like the buttons on a mattress. Weight loss, would be expected to either create no change in existing cellulite or improve its appearance, and similarly, improve, not worsen, cellulite after Cellfina treatment.
