I had this surgery about 6 weeks ago. I had it pretty much all over my upper thighs as well as smart lipo on inner thighs. I had general. I was under for 6 hours. It was pretty involved as my cellulite was bad. He even had to fat transfer on my right outer thigh in places that it was dented in. I wore the garment almost 24 7 for 4 weeks. I am still wearing the garment at night and whenever I am home. I hated it in the beginning but now it actually feels better when it is on. I am 48 and weigh 145 5'8. I have battled cellulite all my life.

I had lipo about 4 years ago but I knew it is not for cellulite it will in,y make area smaller. I will lost pics in a few weeks. My bruising is gone and now all I have us intense itching. I have not really heard anyone else complain about that. Every once in a whi,e I will feel a sharp, stabbing pain run through my legs. Otherwise, I am great. Back I. The gym for the last two weeks and have no problems. I would like to ask, how many people really saw great results by now? I know 3-6 month is the required time but I just hoped it would be a lot better by 6 weeks. Trying to be positive. Very expensive and sure would live to give a thumbs up to this surgery. Any thoughts would be appreciated!!

Hi Sparky123, You are still very early in the process. I had the cellulaze surgery at about the same time as you (Dec 21) with SmartLipoTriplex to the saddle bags. My surgery also took about 6 hours (cellulaze + lipo). My surgeon said that it should take 1.5 hours per area, if all 3 aspects of the cellulaze are addressed (the cutting of the bands, the melting of the herniated fat and the collagen stimulation in the dermis). So if you had 3 areas done + the lipo, 6 hours sounds like the appropriate amount of time. What I am trying to say is that it sounds like your doctor did a thorough job. I am personally still swollen/tender mostly from the lipo but also from the cellulaze especially at the backs of my thighs. I do see improvement in the dimpling but I will not make any judgement until at least 3 months - so as to give the collagen time to regenerate and to make sure all the swelling is gone. Give it time, I get the feeling you will have a good improvement. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much Happy Girl. I appreciate your comments as I really have no one to talk about this with. I'm still wearing the undergarment while at home and at night. As long as it feels better, I will continue to wear it at night. Still swollen and hard on the outside of my thighs and itchy on inner and outer. Pleased with results thus far.

8 weeks out. I can finally tell a good difference. I know I'm not there because the area is still hard and itchy but there is a definite improvement. I believe it will get better. I will post pics at 4 months out.
