I had my Cellfina procedure 4 days ago!
I was a little nervous, as there are some pretty negative reviews on here, and I worried the procedure could make my dimpling and ripples worse. But, as my cellulite-related insecurity was already at maximum, I plunged ahead!
The procedure itself was not remotely bad; just a little awkward as you are lucid and awake in a room full of doctors and nurses with your bare ass out on the table. We chatted about Netflix shows as the doc did the ol’ snip snip.
The only pain I felt was a few twinges as the first needles went in to numb me. That pain was moderate, about the same as a shot or a piercing. Not pleasant, sure, but super tolerable. The most disconcerting part is the loud buzz of the vibrating needle used to cut your fascia. It sounds exactly like an electric knife used to carve a Thanksgiving turkey. #awk #imtheturkey
Anyway, the numbing and cutting both took my doc approximately 20 minutes. After 40 minutes total, the nurses bandaged me and then helped me wriggle my numb, slightly bloody (though less than I was anticipating!) ass into a compression garment and sent me on my way. I drove home with pads on my seat. I spent the rest of the day on the couch with pads under my butt. I was warned the leaking would be bad, but it really wasn’t for me. There were a few spots of blood on the pads at the end of the day, but otherwise my couch was unscathed.
The day after was uncomfortable, but again, not remotely bad. Just some twinging. And some grimacing in pain when I forgot to sit down gingerly on the couch or especially the toilet ([RS bleep] ouch!). I could have rallied and dragged my sore ass out of the house if I absolutely HAD too, but I would have been grumpy as hell about it. I’m glad I gave myself two full days to chill and nurse my bruised ass.
Four days out I’m bruised up, but I can tell my cellulite is already looking better. There’s no more pain, although I am sick to death of wearing this compression garment... I can’t wait to see the final result!

I’m bending backward to make all my dimpling really stand out. The markings actually make me look less bad, because they camouflage the cellulite. I wish I would have thought of that and gotten a better picture to document the transformation.

I’m still pretty bruised up, but I’m already liking the results. I think I look much smoother!
