What Are the Grades for Cellulite, and Which Ones is Cellulaze Most Effective at Treating?

The best way to evaluate your cellulite is to come in for a consultation. In the standing position we will map out the areas of cellulite and determine based on the severity of the skin thinning, the bulging fat, and the dimpling skin whether you have areas of mild, moderate or severe cellulite. Cellulaze is most effective in treating mild to moderate cellulite because the deep dimples may require fat grafting even after septae release. Since Cellulaze is the first effective surgical treatment for cellulite come in for a consultation to see if you are a good candidate.

Cellulite is graded by the "modified Muller Nurnberger scale" -- it really takes an evaluation by someone who is familiar with cellulite to determine your classification.  Patients are graded 1-3 with subcategories of mild, moderate, and severe.

Cellulaze is most effective against the moderate ranges of cellulite.  Grade 1 patients typically are not bad enough to notice significant improvement even though some improvement is likely. Grade 2 patients are able to see more significant results and are typically more satisfied with their results.  Grade 3 mild and moderate patients can expect significant improvement in the appearance of cellulite, but all of the hallmarks of cellulite will not be completely gone.

It is important to know that you will have a noticeable improvement, but may still have milder forms of cellulite.
