Though we don't commonly take measurements of patients prior to Cellulaze, many patients have reported that once the swelling has resolved that clothes fit better than and they seem to have an overall reduction in the circumference of their thighs. (this is seen most commonly in patients that are treated circumferentially--around the entire thigh) A reduction in size or inch loss is not the primary goal or focus of Cellulaze but in it is something we have seen. We are not removing fat during the procedure, so most likely this effect comes from the combination of smoothing of contours and skin tightening.
I have not found this to be the case. With the many cases of Cellulaze that I have done, I have found that it assists with some skin tightening over time but not in losing inches. Liposuction may help someone lose inches because fat is removed. Minimal fat removal is done with Cellulaze. Good Question!
