cellfina ruined my life

THE FIRST 4 PICTURES ARE ONE YEAR AGO, before cellfina and SKN DERMATOLOGIA ruined my life... I had very little celullite, my butt was healthy, great, beautiful, but Ihad a low self estime because THE LITTLE AMOUNT OF NORMAL cellulite I had, and this dermatologist Allan Sunikanski , took advantage of my insecurities, to take my money for a treatment he was going to start here in my country, and that i did not really needed,. I now know that I was the first person that he ever practiced this treatment on .
He did not have idea of what he was doing, he promised me this was not invasive, nos surgical, pain less, and scar free, that my cellulite will go away with no pain, that this was quick and I was going to be able to go to the gym the day after.
He even told me that i did not need to wear compression !!! I trusted him.
But To start this was the most painful thing i have ever suffer , nobody told me what the real procedure was , the consequenses or risks of it; I did not even sign a consent paper; The blood was every where and over every one was unreal, i did not take any antibiotics, or soothing pills, i almost fainted... He used a beautician girl as assistant, and a sales girl . Neither of them were wearing gloves , face masks, or surgical clothes . He made the thing , he even treat my banana roll and deformed my butt, he finished the dissaster and went away, and and left the 2 "assistants " covering me up with kotex!!! I had to stop the gym for 2 weeks because of the pain, i suffered from bruising and seromas , and the y did not made me a massage the day after, everything was bad about this. My once toned butt fell, my once toned tights were all full of lumps and new "cellulite" , it was like i never did any gym and weight in my life after 5 years of bulding that butt!
Now after one year of this nightmare , crying every night , loosing my self estime , paying for psichological help and all kind of painful tratments that havent worked, besides of being unavailable of be naked with any boyfriend without feeling horrible, or using a bathing suit with confidence , and wastng lots of money trying to fix me up and anything works, I am suing them , I also heard hat i was the last person they made this procedure on. I really hope they pay for what they have donde to me.
If you are gonna pay for this treatment, make sure is a profesional doctor with good reviews, and please, love yourselfs enough to not believe on doctors that doesnt really care about you and just want your money, love yourselves enough to not make procedures that you might not even need .

I'm reaching out today because I'm feeling quite desperate and frustrated, and I could really use some guidance and support.
It has been two long years since my treatment, and unfortunately, I'm still struggling with some persistent issues. I have developed hard nodules and skin discoloration that have been causing me a great deal of discomfort and self-consciousness. I've gone to four different plastic surgeons seeking help, but so far, the options they've presented have been limited.
All four surgeons have suggested steroid shots as a potential solution. While this might alleviate the symptoms, none of them have been willing to address the root cause or explore other treatment options. They express concerns about potential complications and are reluctant to perform surgery or even transfer the area.
Today, I met with a surgeon who is willing to take on my case. However, the proposed solution involves opening and removing the hard nodules and hematomas. This procedure would likely result in a significant scar on each butt cheek. The thought of this leaves me feeling devastated and unsure about whether I should proceed.
I left the surgeon's office today in tears, feeling overwhelmed and lost. It seems like there's no easy answer or clear path forward. That's why I'm turning to all of you for help. If any of you have experienced something similar or know of alternative treatments that have been successful, I would be eternally grateful to hear from you.
This community has always been incredibly supportive, and I have faith that someone out there might have some valuable insights or suggestions. Please, if you have any information or advice, don't hesitate to reach out and let me know. Your support means the world to me.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this and for being such a caring and understanding community.
With heartfelt appreciation

Hi :) I‘m sorry to hear that you’re struggling. :/ I‘ve been through 3 corrective surgeries so far and none of them really worked. I have a couple of scars on my butt cheek now and it’s not .. cute. I‘m seriously considering a tattoo to cover up the scars. But that’s not going to do anything for the lumpy tissue. A plastic surgeon offered to treat the area with „endolift“, to tighten the tissue, but I can’t afford it at the moment.
Regarding the treatment that’s been offered to you: maybe „test“ it in a smaller area first? So that you have prove that the surgery will actually better the appearance, before you go all in, trying to fix everything all at once and end up not linking the results/ scarring etc.
Hope this was somewhat helpful.:)

This happened to me too and I’m devastated. I went through this procedure twice! I was told to give it time that it will get better…. it’s been almost 4 years. I have tiny scars all over my butt and legs along with several areas of puffed skin as well as still having the cellulite the procedure was supposed to get rid of. The cost, the pain and downtime and not to mention all the other treatments I’ve tried to correct these issues. If anyone has had any success with getting rid of the puffed/bubbled skin please let me know.

Unfortunately, I am three years out and now have more dimples than I did before. Plus,now the treated areas are dark and the skin is lax, so I am having to go pay to have them filled with filler. I am doing radiesse. I dont want the lax areas to start sagging. I hate my bum after cellfina. Wish I mever did it.

I would steer clear of Radiesse! I am shocked your provider didn’t suggest Sculptra instead. They use it to do “liquid BBLs”, so I would think it would be a better option. Radiesse scares the hell out of me — even on the face, let alone the butt! I do hope it works though. Can you provide an update? Wishing you the best!

Girl, I would kill for your before pictures!! You did not need this procedure at all. :(. I’m so sorry you went through this and I hope it’s better now, since I’m commenting a couple years since your last update. Have you tried Coolsculpting maybe? I have a similar body type as you (except my booty isn’t as nice and round lol!) and also have bad cellulite. Changing my diet and working out did reduce it a lot as soon as I started weight training and doing heavy squats, but i still have dimples on my butt and back of my legs, so I feel you and you’re not alone, babe. Thank you so much for being brave and vulnerable to share your experience with other women. I don’t understand why no one has came up with a real solution for cellulite removal. Blows my mind. You’re beautiful and I hope things are better now.
