I was so determined to have this done since I have been suffering w cellulite for years now. I've never had any surgeries in my life so I was nervous but it was ok.. I went to dr. decorato in staten island. he was really nice and very professional. I felt comfortable immediately. after the consult I waited a week for the procedure. I took Xanax for anxiety on the way there and waited a while before i went in and was almost falling asleep in the waiting room. once I went in i was wide awake and a little nervous again but the nurses were so nice. they let me keep my cell phone with me and even took pictures!! the numbing was the worst part.. I cursed out loud.. the rest was ok with minimal pain in a few areas that the drsaid may not have gotten as numb. it took around two hours. I felt fat and sore afterwards and it was hard for me to walk normally. stairs were worst. once I got home I sat on the couch and tried motto move too much. the garments not really uncomfortable but iwas leaking a lot. I didn't sleep too well last nit either mainly because of the garment. I woke up with more bleeding and my legs feel very swollen and lumpy right now but less big. I was told I could shower today and remove the garment but I toolkit off for a second just to get a peek and put it right back on.. I don't want to take any chances.. I see cellulite still but it's only the day after and I'm full of water still.. so I can't really tell anything yet.. I have post op tomorrow!! I'll keep posting my progress for others but as for the procedure.. it was easy for the most part.. I am tattooed everywhere and it was less than tattoo pain.. :) I'd def recommend dr. decorato!!!! if my cellulite goes away for good ill be soooooooooo happy!!!! so far so good!!!! I am very optimistic!! wush me luck!!

So I went to dr decorato this morning for my post...

so I went to dr decorato this morning for my post op.. he says my legs look great and the swelling and lumpiness is normal. he also said I should actually swell more today and tomorrow before it will start to go down. I was glad to hear that!! so far so good!!

First time was NOT good at all. I saw no improvement. I had more lumping on my thighs and they wete numb forever. After the six month point, my surgeon repeated the procedure. So far it looks way better than the first time and i am way less uncomfortable. I wouldnt have wasted the money had i known id have to repeat the procedure and wear this stupid garment for what feels like eternity.
