Underwhelming Results

Rather expensive procedure ($5K) for the results I got, which were quite subtle. As you can see from the pre/post photos, the improvement was not very much and I still have plenty of cellulite. Also the recovery is more painful than expected--bless your heart if you have an office job where you have to sit in a chair all day in the couple weeks after this surgery.
Surgery day was unnecessarily stressful because I was told beforehand that I could choose to have a local anesthetic only, versus also having narcotic pain medicines which would require someone to drive me home. I chose local, which they told me on surgery day, was not actually an option--so I was sitting in the office pre-surgery frantically trying to find a ride or else my surgery would have been cancelled. Was also told I could have laughing gas, which also wasn't true--and it would have been nice, because this surgery was indeed painful.
Thus, between the big expense, painful surgery, painful recovery, and scars where the tool went in--I don't see my mediocre results as worth it at all.
