Excited when I saw this procedure on tv. Terrified due to some reviews that the numbing process was very painful. I finally went in and Dr. Linville and the ladies were AWESOME! ! Pain level for me was maybe a 2 out of 10. I was even able to video Dr. Linville numbing one side and then was able to video the actual procedure. I was so comfortable, I am almost worried it may not have done much. I haven'thaven't seen my but or legs since i was bandaged immediately. i will post regularly so anyone considering can see the process and can find a good doctor or if it doesn't work people don't spend the money unnecessarily. Right now I am wearing some old compression panty hose/shorts that Victoria Secret discontinued because they are tighter than spanx which is allowing the bandages to stay in place. I did put a pair of spanx over them so it would not leak as bad, it seems to be working. 5 hours after my procedure I am not experiencing as much pain as I thought. it just feels a little sore. I will post pictures and hopefully the videos as soon as I figure it out.

Thanks for the great review! The numbing process shouldn't be too painful, and I'm glad yours was not either! Can't wait to see your results! Thanks for videoing too!

Your doctor is hot! lol I have hated my legs practically my whole life. When I think about the cellulite or see it.. i get very upset. I had lipo to remove fat from my abdomen, inner and outter thighs and flanks, but a year later i feel my cellulite has gotten worse. :(

Hate that you had a horrible experience. Dr. Linville was AWESOME. He is actually the fourth plastic surgeon I have had. I got very lucky since he was one of the few that were doing this new procedure and I took a big chance since the only other Plastic surgeon I would have gone to would have been Dr. Barrera, who did an amazing job on my breasts 7 years ago, but he was not doing this procedure. The other two I would never recommend. Dr. Linville is very thorough and down to earth and with much respect to his wife also a handsome young man. So i would definitely recommend him to others. Good Luck!!

It looks like he has a different (and less damaging) technique than Cellfina's motorized microblade. Did he use a regular needle, or am I just not seeing the motorized needle?

Day 2 Results

therealskinny
Day 2 sore. still draining a little. Had to go to the store for some small bandages to help with the drainage, since I went to work the next day. Meanwhile, I had to be creative and use pantyliners and kotex for the leakage. Pain was like sore when you had a hard work out day 2 is rough but day 3 is worse.
