Question

Calvin Jung, MD · Answer

Hi There,There are many options, the truth of the matter is that there is no great treatment out there at the moment that works across the board for everyone.  Cellulite is caused by fibrous attachments from the skin that pull toward the muscle.  Instruments such as cellulaze/cellfina can break up these attachments however, most fibrous attachments have memory and can reattach.  It is absolutely impossible to predict how many attachments will reattach which makes treating cellulite difficult.

Thank you for your question! Laser lipo can trim down fat, but the only thing, in my opinion, that will eliminate dimples are fillers. Radiesse® and other hyaluronic acid fillers are a safe and effective treatment for moderate to severe cellulite on the butt and thighs. This cosmetic filler is injected into cellulite dimples, causing the skin to appear fuller and smoother. Patients typically require one to two syringes for treatment.

Smartlipo is a great tool for decreasing fat but it will not treat cellulite. You should find a plastic surgeon who does Cellulaze treatment to improve this. It is a single treatment.david berman md
