My Cellfina Journey

So today I am 11 weeks and 3 days post procedure. At this point I am losing confidence that Cellfina was a good investment. I see improvement in the true “cottage cheese” cellulite that I had on the back of my thighs but I would NOT recommend Cellfina to the front of the thighs. Most of the lumps that the procedure caused have dissolved, however, on the front of my thighs there is a depression with nearly every needle scar that creates its own cellulite appearance. I also have discoloring. My Dr told me that it can take up to 9 months to heal and show improvement but as of today the front of my thighs look way worse than before the procedure. I will update again if I see an improvement but as of today my legs appear worse on the front than before I began :( I am posting inside and outside photos because the indoor lighting is extremely misleading. The outdoor lighting is what I see in my bathroom mirror and outside in public. It should be noted I have lost 5 lbs so no weight gain and I work out around my schedule 3 days a week. Good luck to anyone that is going through the same post procedure on their thighs that I am. I think maybe Cellfina is better suited for Butt and back of thighs.

Today marks 8 weeks post cellfina. I still have a few lumps, however, most of them are significantly smaller. I have had 3 Venus Legacy treatments to help with the lumps and one Skin Tight treatment which I would highly recommend. I would say to anyone going into this procedure that this is not a simple and quick process. My Dr assures me to trust the process and I am trusting my Dr. I will continue to post picture updates as I see improvement. I just haven’t had the improvement yet that I had hoped for .

Yesterday was day 14 for me. Finally reached the 2 week mark and could stop wearing the compression garment. Bruising is significantly better but the lumps are starting to scare me a little. A couple of them are the size of tennis balls! I can feel several 1-2 inch lumps and bumps deep under the skin but a few are very obvious and actually appear worse than the cellulite. On the back of my left thigh just under my butt there is a linear bulge that goes all the way across and into my inner thigh. I’m still using the Arnica cream and now gently massaging. I see my Dr next week and am hoping these lumps start to dissolve. I tried to take some photos from the side that show the lumps under my thighs. Only other update I have is that the needle marks seem to be healing well. There are only a few that seem to be a bit bigger than the others and still quite red. Still hoping for the best.
