In order to give an accurate count of my journey, I'll have to start from the beginning. I've been seeking a cellulite-free life since I was 15. At that age was when I started to notice little bumps on my legs and started to avoid wearing shorts. I was a dancer, played all kinds of sports but I could never get rid of either my cellulite and my ever growing sattlebags, as my mom would call them. I knew that exercising and working out would not change the structure of my body, since this was hereditary, so I would have to do something more.
In 2012 at age 28, I finally decided that I needed to make a change. I started to shop around for doctors. I decided to go with Dr. Brown, as he was the one to stand out the most. His bedside manner was great. He took his time to explain everything to me and made me feel safe. He made his suggestions and we went from there. We started with the standard liposuction procedure to reduce volume. Then a year later, another small lipo procedure to reduce a bit more since I was rather large in those areas. And it's said that going from big to small right away may produce bad results. The third procedure, 8 months later, was using smart lipo and Cellulaze. And I'm back again for my fourth providers to fix a couple of lumps that remains with just Cellulaze.
I'd like to share my process for the next couple of weeks with you and hope to help others that are considering this procedure.
Here are my before pictures and I'll post the after procedure pics tomorrow.
Sitting at the doctor's office now a bit nervous and hoping that this will finally work!

Since this is my fourth procedure, I pretty much had this down. Make sure to leave your house clean so you don't have to worry about it for the next couple of days, have healthy food on hand, make sure to take arnica two to three days prior to the procedure and have two undergarments ready. I ordered two from comtourmd.com a beige and black. My suggestion is to wear the black on on the day of the procedure because you may bleed and the markings that the doc makes on your body will stain the garment.
Procedure went great, I'm the so-called "participatory" kind of patient. I like to see everything that's happening from beginning to end. The only part that felt uncomfortable was when he was numbing me, after that, I ddint really feel much. I appreciated my doc telling me everything he was doing and why. His staff were also great at chatting and making me feel comfortable. I was in and out of the procedure in 45 minutes. He patched me up and sent me on my way home to start doing my part. Rest and recover.
I'll have pics soon.

Great tips! I like the "leave your house clean" - if there is one thing I can't stand it's a messy house, and that's the last thing you want to worry about when you are in recovery.

I absolutely loved your results. I have the same body just like you and want my legs done. How many times did you do it how much was it total ?

I did the standard lipo, then smart lipo and then cellulaze the last two times. This is certainly not a one time fix. If your body is like mine, you may need to go in several times. Mainly because you want to give your body the opportunity to heal and tighten to see where there's more they can pull from. You don't want to take all of it out at once because your skin will sag. I would say I spent a total of $10K. Believe me, although you won't have model legs, you will feel 10 times more confident and beautiful. I would pay that again, if it meant I would be happy.
