DR. Andreas Nikolis is a Cellfina Master!!
I have beef blesses its cellulite my entire life and was always looking for a way to remove it.
Waiting for technology to figure out. My dermatologist suggested that I go see Dr. Nikolis and try Cellfina because I seemed o be he perfect candidate. I’m 45 and have gained and lost weight over the years so have some flaccid skin but I was hopeful.
Dr. Nikolis is a riot so you immediately feel at ease and his team is amazing and I let no pressure whatsoever. In fact, his assistant suggested o reschedule so that I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable while on vacation.
After rescheduling 2 times, the day of my appointment finally arrived. I was shitting bricks because of all the reviews I read on real self.
First! The procedure WAS NOT painful. I’m not sure what these other plastic surgeons are doing but all Dr.Nikolis lagged a me when I told him I was worried about pain and he had every reason to laugh. All I felt was the pinch of he needles when he injected the local anaesthetic.
A joke!Once my butt in the back of my legs were frozen, I felt nothing. I did Take 2 Atasol’s (prescribed) before the procedure because of all the horror stories I read on RealSelf.
After the procedure which took an hour, the nurse massaged My legs and butt to remove the liquid that came with the Anesthetic and isa told to rock back and forth on my bum and legs for another 20 minutes to help remove more of the liquid.
He nurses bandaged me up with gauze and a depends diaper and I put a pair of spanx over all of this for compression.
I bid the team farewell, and went out to a fancy lunch. At lunch I realize that I was still leaking and so I decided to go home and rest. Once the anaesthetic dissipated I felt sharp but short pain Every time I applied pressure to my butt or legs however it was very bearable and forced to rest and watch TV for eight hours. I Took one out of salt every 3 to 4 hours and I really think this helped. I reapplied the bandages and dressings three times within 24 hours and the third time a applied arnica. This morning I woke up and have no more leaks and believe it or not my bruises have already started fading.
I feel 90% better and there is barely any pain. Now let’s talk about my butt and legs… They look absolutely amazing and I just hope it’s not the swelling. I pray that when the swelling goes down (it has gone down by 50% compared to yesterday) that my butt and legs stay looking the way they look right now!!
So far I think it’s a miracle procedure and that Dr. Andreas Nikolis is a genius.
I suggest that any of you in the United States or Canada come to Montreal for this procedure because he is absolutely amazing and he is also one of the top experts for this procedure in the world.
Most importantly, this procedure is not for overweight women looking for a solution. This procedure should only be done on women who are fit and have cellulite. I think it is irresponsible of plastic surgeons to perform this on women who have weight issues.
I will follow up as I heal!!
If anyone has any further questions I will be happy to answer.
Cheers and good luck!
