It's been 3 months and even though I don't have a before pic you can see it didn't work. I'm going to focus on diet now and work to lose the 5 lbs. I gained. I'm disappointed to have lost that much $$$. It may work on people who are already fit and slender with only a few dents to get rid of.

It may even look worse than before☹️

Thank you for sharing your story. Like you, I'm 5'4" and fluctuate between 130-135ish. I am also approaching 52 and fighting menopause. I have always had and hated cellulite on my butt and thighs. It seems worse as I get older. I recently started exercising more with weights and it actually is making a difference. The muscle I am developing is raising my skin so to speak and improving the texture now my butt is getting rounder and no longer flabbing on the back of my legs, lol! My point is, don't give up! (ps don't forget that muscle weights more than fat!)

I do need to step up my workouts. I'm going back to Dr. Liu to talk about other options. Thank you for your comment and hope you continue to see improvement.

Well, I really think the key is adjusting the WAY we workout. Not more cardio!! We ladies need to stick up for each other more too, I'm sure you will find something that is right for you! :D

CAN You get your money back ?

I ended up getting a bbl which is what the Dr. initially suggested. So far so good.

How did that go? I have awful cellulite and got a. Bbl, it’s been nearly 3 months and my cellulite is definitely still there and I wish I hadn’t gotten the bbl . Cellulite is such a nightmare.
March 5, 2018
I don’t think the bbl removes the cellulite. My butt looks somewhat better but the lipo results weren’t that great so I’m going in for touch ups at the end of the month. I’m sorry you’re not happy with your results.

I just took photos of myself and see more dents on my butt. Maybe the initial improvement was swelling. I still have bruises so I'm hoping to see more change for the better by the three month mark. I'm not in the mood to post the pics :( This doesn't change my good experience with Dr. Liu and his Office. The procedure may have worked better on a younger person with better skin quality. Anyway, still hoping for improvement.

i hope you're not unhappy. i think the after photos are a major improvement. You've given me hope!

I'm almost at the 3 month mark and still not sure. I would advise anyone doing this to take their own before pics. The office told me they would take before shots so I didn't bother but they had me clench for the Dr. to mark the areas needing treatment and that is all I have to compare. In reality I don't clench my cheeks so it's hard for me to tell. At this point I'm most irritated with myself with not taking before pics.

got it! i'm currently searching for a doctor in my NY/NJ area to receive a few quotes and search for reviews. I'm hoping this works.

Another thing is I hope you don't spend $5000 to $6000 as I have seen some people do. That seems way too much to spend on this procedure.
