not worth it

So I am now way past my 3 month mark. My cellulite pretty much looks just like it did before the surgery. My over all legs look worse because they are still discolored and the procedure changed the overall shape of the back of my leg. So, I am changing my post to be "not worth it". It is probably better for someone with a lump or 2 rather than someone with extreme conditions like mine. I don't want to post pics because it makes me too bummed out.

I am not posting any pics cause there is no change from my last update. I am 85% back to normal as far as the weird sensations, discoloration, and ability to work out. Now I just have to be patient and wait for any changes. There is something weird going on though. I feel like the back of my legs that were treated are really tight but the area above the treatment seems like it is falling over the tight part. Kinda like you are wearing thigh highs that cut into the fat. So I actually feel like the shape of my whole backside is changed and now I have a more pronounced lump on my outer thigh/butt area. At this point, I am tempted to change my status to "not worth it" due to the pain, limited result, sacrificing my fitness level, and now some weird shape issue. But, I will continue to be patient before changing my status.

Thank you for the update and your personal experience. I have read some other reviews that felt the same and suffered the same issues you are describing. I have made up my mind that i will Not do cellulaze. thank you for that. I am 43 and will continue to live with my cellulite. What would you rate your % as far as how much cellulite has diminished?
I truly hope you heal properly in 6 months and are back to normal. ;)
Best wishes

I love your review! Okay, one comment I can make would be to try as hard as you can to not judge any cosmetic procedure until the 6 month mark. Trust me when I say I know that's easier said than done. I was a total freak about my breast implants and became a little obsessed with how they were 'settling'. Also, I am 5 months post lipo inner/outer thighs. I still have strange sensations, moments of pain and numbing feelings. I had the 'jiggly' thing for a long time, still do, but it has improved immensely. PLEASE keep us all posted as you move along especially as you near 6 months! For me my cellulite has worsened considerably since liposuction (I had heard that it might and it makes sense that would). That being said I would love to hear some success stories with cellulaze because I will consider it if it works. Weird that I now have thinner thighs that I would never dare show. I can at least wear tight leggings, skinny jeans etc...but with this cellulite no bathing suit for me unless I'm at home in our pool. I actually bought some super tight to the knee exercise capris if I have to be in a 'swimsuit' in the future. Not a bad idea that makes me feel better to know I won't have to show my cellulite! Thank you for your review!!!

I think that the encouragement that posters are providing is amazing. Thank you all for the support. I will keep updating and posting pics every few weeks. Just wanted to update that within a week of my doctor lifting limitations on my workout, I was able to run a nice steady slow 3 miles. Helped my mental set immensely. Leg sensations wore off or were not bothering me about a mile in. So now that my life is getting back to normal I think I will be able to patiently wait for some results. But again thank you for all your comments!!
