I had Cellulaze done almost a year ago on my thighs and buttocks. Now my doctor would like to schedule me for Thermitight to my thigh area. What will the downtime be for this procedure? Is there a lot of swelling and bruising? I had quite a bit of swelling and bruising with the Cellulaze and had to wear a compression garment for weeks.

Answer: Cellulite/Laxity -- Cellfina, Fat Transfer/Renuva, RF Tightening (ThermiRF, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra), Cellutone, Sculptra There is very little downtime when ThermiRF is done right, we typically have people wait 1-7 days before going back to gym. Compression can be light like spanx. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Downtime after ThermiTight Thanks for your question. The answer is not totally straightforward, because everyone experiences pain differently and it can also depend upon how much surface area of your leg is being treated. "Most" patients experience very little downtime after ThermiTight - meaning the very next day they can engage in "activities of daily living" and have only very minimal pain. I have had 1 patient who complained for weeks about the pain afterwards, but the vast majority of my patients have had only minimal pain. Bruising after ThermiTight is rare, but can happen. The amount of postoperative pain depends upon (1) how much surface area was treated - the more area, the more pain; and (2) how aggressively you are treated. For example, when both superficial and deep layers are treated with high temperatures, postoperative pain will be a little more than if only the superficial layer (skin) is treated. In any case, the postoperative pain from ThermiTight should not even be in the same ballpark as that from Cellulaze.
