I got lipo on my thighs 12 years ago. A few years later I noticed a cellulite looking appearance on the top of my thighs. I went to see a doctor about cellfina and he told me this wrinkling/crackling is from the lipo procedure. I have a friend who went to the same doctor for lipo and she has the same problem on her thighs.

The rippling of the skin is more noticeable in some light more than others, but it's bad enough that I'm not comfortable wearing shorts or short skirts. It looks very unattractive. I did everything I could to get rid of it. I hike 4.5 miles a day and have done barre class almost every day for a year. I realized finally that there's nothing I can do to fix it so I'm hoping this works.

Apparently the ultherapy takes a few months because it stimulates the collagen and those cells take 90 days to regenerate. So far I don't see any difference but it's only been a week.

The procedure hurt only minimally and I only took ibuprofen. Some pulses were more painful than others, but in any case it was short and minimal. The next day I had slight tenderness and I had no redness or swelling after the procedure.

I'll continue to update in case anyone else out there is having the same problem.

Hope you are recovering well. You mentioned cellfina - why did you not have that? I have only heard of ultherapy on the face so far so i hope this will be successful? Was it just done on the front of thighs? What was the size of the area done? Can you say how many shots you had on each area and to what depth and how many passes? Thanks and I hope it works. Do keep posting for 9 months to get the full results? All the best.

I didn't have cellfina on this area because it is not cellulite. Cellfina works to release the connective bands under each dimple and I don't have dimples on the front of my thighs. I am actually having cellfina next Friday for my outer thighs and buttocks. Yes I had ultherapy only in the front of the thighs all the way from the top down to my knees. He went from my outer to inner thigh (which was most painful) and did two passes for each row. Ultherapy is supposed to work for this because I have skin laxity and it will tighten the skin so it is smooth. I'm crossing my fingers that it will work! I will continue to post as I see changes (I haven't really seen anything yet).

I'll keep my fingers crossed. Please keep posting with updates even if there is no change, as that is so important too! Will you post about the cellfina on here or do another blog for that? How many are you having and would you mind posting a pic of the areas before you have the cellfina? Thanks and good luck!
