And here’s a picture six months out to go with my update. Slightly clenched, much like most Cellfina before pics. Wavy ol’ ass. Cratery thighs. I do think it’s worse than my baseline, which makes me want to throw up because I spent 4 grand for...this.

Sorry you are not pleased! March pic is great and relaxed. Not relaxed on last pic— how much difference does that make?

The damage is most clearly visible when I clench, like in the last pic. My butt looks much better when relaxed, but my thighs are wrecked in pretty much any light. A thigh lift may be my only recourse, but since that is so invasive and expensive, I will probably just live with my grooves and my disappointment.

It appears you have an issue with saggy skin which can't be fixed with cellfina. Your doctor should have explained that to you. I have the same issue and my doctor told me we can fix the dimples but not the "waves" in your skin.

6 months out

Hi guys. I’m sorry to say that I no longer recommend cellfina. I’m massively dissapointed now 6 months out. I was initially excited about how much smoother my butt looked, but some of that turned out to be swelling.
I would say that I now have a minor reduction of cellulite on the top half of my ass and no improvement at all on the bottom half. What brings me to tears is the much bigger indents caused by cellfina in my thighs. They look shockingly bad in some lights. I kept hoping that they would go away with time, but no dice. I’ve now had a few consultations about skin tightening lasers to fix the additional problems cellfina has caused me. The only real fix might be surgery. ;(
My updated review is 1) save your money unless you are satisfied with a very minor reduction of cellulite on your butt and 2) for the love of god, don’t get cellfina on your thighs. It did more harm than good, at least for me.

Hey!
In the exact same position as you still. seems like cellfina has made me look even worse and I totally get you re the thighs!
I also have hard lumps under the skin that really show up in some lights
Did anyone recommend velashape 3?

No, I will look into it though! I just did a consult for thermight, but the aesthetician wasn’t sure it would help my thighs. I guess I’d rather her tell me that than let me spend my money for no result! Thanks for the tip.

Think about using the fascia blaster. It seems to help

30 days post

3 weeks and 3 days out

Dark spark
A few people have been doing for updates, so here is a pic, a little over 3 weeks out! All the bruising was gone by day 14, but you can still see some small poke marks from the incisions.
I’ve gone through quite the roller coaster of emotions with Cellfina. At first when I was bruised and swollen, I really loved it. When the bruising went down, I still saw plenty of cellulite, and I was disappointed. About 2 weeks out, I thought there was only about a 10-15% improvement on my butt and maybe a slight worsening of the grooves on my thighs. I felt like a sucker who had wasted 4K on something vain, and berated myself for it a bit. Now I’m about 3.5 weeks out, and it’s turned a corner again. Now I think there is a 40-60% improvement on my butt, my thighs look ever so slightly better, and things appear to still be improving in both areas. So, now I’m happy again and hopeful for even more favorable changes. I’m sure won’t ever be 100% cellulite free, but I feel a bit more confidence already. I’ll post another update in a month or so. :)

I’m not sure why RealSelf crops my pictures so tight that you can’t see one side. Oh well. I tried again, and it still happened.

Hi, I had Cellfina about 2.5 weeks ago. I’m still bruised but it’s getting better. I also think now that the swelling is down I don’t see any change and maybe it’s even worse. There are many hard lumps that remain. Did you do anything to help with those? I’m feeling really discouraged :(
April 2, 2019
Hey.
I had mine done nearly 4 weeks ago now and have the same issues with lumps
My doctor is great and has done 50 cellfina treatments and the results have been amazing.
So upon speaking to her my mind has been eased, she said that velashape or lymphatic massage can help speed up the results and get rid of the fibrosis.
Otherwise she said to just be patient and massage it myself and it will go away!
I was freaking out too.
Google scar tissue post surgery and it might make you feel a bit better as it does say it can go away.

Thank you for the info. My doctor said I can try massaging too. I just started Monday. I’ve been using Arnica gel throughout the recovery process, which I think may have helped with the bruising. I plan to massage the multiple lumps twice a day.
