Cellfina- the Answer We’ve All Been Waiting For!

Dr. Stephens and his practice are a world class Plastic surgery center in my opinion.
I have been to Dr. Stephens several times for consultations, procedures for Cellfina and Fractora over the Cellfina, and follow-up appointments.
I couldn’t have been treated better start to finish, no matter the reason I was there, world class customer service and care every single time.
I have struggled with a few deep cellulite dimples since age 9.
I have never had a weight problem, in fact most would say that I am very thin.
I have always been active in sports and physical activity since the age of 5... and now 33 years old.
This had no bearing on my genetic predisposition to developing the unwanted and humiliating look of cellulite that my less fit peers seemed to have very minimal, if any at all. I have felt bad about myself and my self esteem in regards to my cellulite for a very long time. I was always insecure to ever be out in a bathing suit, or naked in front of an intimate partner/ bf due to the depth of the pit of my long term dimples.
Diet, water, strength training and exercise did nothing for my dimple appearance.
The reason behind this is because there are fibrous bands that hold down the skin from within. No matter how thin or fit I was, no cream or exercise could change the dimples on my body. I have spent years moderately obsessed with trying to find ways to eliminate them, or decrease in size or appearance.
I tried it all. When I found out about the Cellfina procedure a few years ago I thought, well this is different! It was $2,500 back then, and I thought, “if I’m spending that money, I’m waiting to see how valid it is”
I waited to read reviews nation wide on the procedure, as well as watch the percent of patient satisfaction. When the patient satisfaction rate was in the mid to high 95+%, I knew it was worth the risk and money.
This procedure cuts the bands, and the bands do not return. How can you beat that?
You can’t.
My dimples were over 20 years old, and those main 4-5 dimples were what I wanted to see go away more than anything.
When I finally got the procedure it was $4,000 (the procedure goes up after years of proven efficacy). Each of my dimples had several bands holding it in. We ended up having to do more than one treatment (Cellfina procedure) to eliminate the deeper divers.
Dr. Stephens cared so much about me as a patient and the outcome and my satisfaction he did another treatment on me.
He suggested I do fractora over the buttocks area to tighten my thin droopier skin there.
I am so glad we did, because it was well worth it.
I am extremely uncomfortable standing naked in front of anyone, and Dr. Stephens and every single staff member there made me feel so comfortable it was a one of a kind situation for me. To this day, I would still be able to stand naked in front of any of them, imperfections and all, because they just have a knack for making even the most insecure, secure about themselves.
Dr. Stephens is ethical, kind, genuinely caring, and beyond an incredible plastic surgeon, I believe he is a wonderful human being.
I used to be a little judgy in people who spent time and money to alter their bodies.
After my experience with Cellfina with Dr. Stephen’s, he has completely changed my view on plastic surgery and the goodness and wonderful meaningful work that is actually done with care for so many people.
My self esteem is better, I don’t feel superficial at all. I feel grateful that there is a procedure for women that WORKS for cellulite to rid the present dimples permanently by cutting those bands underneath! We deserve this kind of break through, all of those who have struggled with it the way I have, with no answer no matter the effort: we deserve this.
I am grateful beyond measure and highly recommend Dr. Stephens in Bellvue to be the Dr. you choose!
World class customer service and genuine care of their patients.
There is a reason why he has won so many awards as best Plastic Surgeon of the 425 (a highly competitive area code to serve in).
See for yourself!

I am looking forward to 3-6 months from now when I finally get to see my final results from a long journey of desperately wishing and crying my cellulite away.

Feel free to ask me any questions ladies!
Remember you deserve it!!

It's wonderful that you had a fantastic experience with such a caring doctor and staff. I did too. However, after 3-6 months of healing and wishing, Cellfina did absolutely nothing at all. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I also received a treatment to tighten the skin in the area, trying to remedy the total lack of results from Cellfina. I sincerely hope that a few months from now you have different results.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I checked out your post and pictures. Mine definitely had a larger improvement that made the procedure worth it for me. If the results stay, it was worth it for me. You should try cool sculpting with Ideal Image. My friend had that done and it has helped hers.
BTW- cellfina is backed by their guarantee. If you’re not happy with your results, the Dr. can do another treatment until you are happy with your results. This is the Cellfina manufacturer gaurentee.
Thanks for the comment!
