Hi ladies! I am scheduled for tomorrow & I can't sleep a wink so I thought I'd start my review now! I am 29, 5'6, fluctuate btwn 130-140, size 4. I lift weights, take Pilates reformer, hot yoga & spin classes & do some form of cardio daily. I also follow a well balanced plant based diet, but for the life of me, I can't make my stubborn cellulite disappear! I am having the backs of my thighs (1/2way from my knees & up), the sides of my thighs & a small area in the middle of each butt cheek. I am absolutely terrified & just ready to get it over with. I will update & give you the full experience once I get home.

So just got home awhile ago. Feel ok, definitely some soreness. I will say that the numbing part of the procedure was quite painful for me. The pain was pretty intense. The rest of it wasn't too bad. More discomfort than actual pain. A few spots, like directly under my butt were very tender, but that's it. It mostly felt like an odd pressure type sensation. I'm fairly swollen & lots of drainage already. I have gauze pads to soak up all the fluid & the nurses told me to get regular unscented panty liners to use later. The compression garment is uncomfortable, but that's to be expected. My first post op is in 5 days, so I'll update my progress then!

My doctor & his staff were wonderful. They put me at ease & I'm a big baby abt this stuff. I felt he did a thorough job & I'm hoping to get the results that I want!

Ok, so I believe your post-op is tomorrow - how are you feeling?? Everything going ok?

Yes, my post-op is tomorrow morning. I am doing great! And I swear that my cellulite is already gone! I'm almost in shock, I can't even believe it!

My bruising isn't as bad as I expected it to be. I did start w/ the arnica Montana & bromelain abt 4 days prior to surgery. I am still pretty swollen. However, if I was allowed to, I would have felt comfortable enough to have gone back to the gym today.

And the compression garment is more inconvenient than anything. This Houston heat does make it bothersome.

I will post more after my appt tomorrow! So far, even with my results just 4 days out, I have to say Cellulaze has been 100% worth it!!!

I had my post-op today & all is well. They just took a few quick pics & I'm scheduled for my next appt in abt 3 weeks. I purchased 2 extra compression garments. I also had to go down a size since the swelling has gone down & my first one wasn't tight enough anymore.

The nurses were in awe that I'm cellulite free and quite frankly so am I! I'm a bit shocked by it! I never thought this would be possible! I am sooo thankful that I went ahead with the procedure & I'm counting down the days til short shorts & bikinis!

Glad your post-op went so great! Not to rain on your parade, but do make sure to read some of the other ladies reviews. You will see that the first few weeks after their procedures they were cellulite free as well, then once the swelling went down it re-appeared. Don't to lose hope though, because the doctors say it takes 3-6 months to see the full results. So, I say all this so that if you start to see your cellulite reappear do not despair, just try to be patient & wait the full recovery time and hopefully you will have great results then too! :)

Do you have any pictures you can post? No offense, but this review kinda sounds like an informercial ;) I am just skeptical because so many other reviews have not been near this positive and I am planning on spending about the same as you to get this done (also in Texas).

Hi Jessica, how are you looking now? I was told by my doc that after the first week it will look gone because I'm swollen and the cellulite areas are filled out. Then in the second through several more weeks I will thing, OMG, what did I do because the swelling and thus the healing will begin and it will be an uneven healing. Some places will look good some worse until all the swelling is down in a few months. I'm on my 4th day of recovery.

Hi Brittany - I got mine done on May 14th and I think I am JUST now starting to see some results. The dimples are still there but more shallow so i'm hoping they will even out over time. I do still have some swelling which I think masks some of the results - i.e. once the swelling goes down some dimples will lessen. Also, to help with healing, my doctor offered to do 2 free vaser shape treatments that help with contouring/swelling. Getting my second treatment tomorrow. I really think patience is the key here. I was feeling VERY discouraged for a while but recent improvements are giving me a little hope

Thanks for sharing this. I'm on day 6 today and doc says so far so good with incisions, healing, swelling, etc. I'm going to look up what a vaser treatment is. Glad you are feeling better about the procedure. For the price it costs, we should all be happy about it.
