53 Year Old Who Hates Cellulite - Los Gatos, CA

Had it done today. Mostly on my butt. Procedure was not painful. Maybe slight momentary discomfort but worth it to get rid of hated cellulite. I was worried about the lidocaine injections because of other reviews but it was fine and I have a low tolerance for pain. I just took two Tylenol as a preventative because I don't want to wake up during the night in pain. I weigh 130 lbs, recently gained 5, height is 5'4". I work out 5x per week taking classes and alternate between barre, spin and kettle bell. Menopause is making it hard to stay in shape. Most difficult part so far has been changing pads on my own.

I had some up and took them down. I'm trying to find my before photos. Will put them back up.

Okay great! I have been trying to decide if I want to do it or not.

I go in for my two week follow up on Thursday. I will try to get before and after pics after my appointment.

Photos are up. For anyone who has had this procedure, how long did you continue to see improvement?

Are you happy with the results ? Would you do it again?

I'm not sure. I'll post another pic soon. I can't tell if there was improvement as I didn't get before pics. It may have been better for me to lose the 5 lbs. I gained before considering this procedure. I still have cellulite (dents) in areas I was treated.

I'll wait for the photos. Did the doctor recommend losing weight beforehsand ? Perhaps weight wouldn't have mattered if the PS didn't mention it. Was he the only PS you consulted Cellfina about ?

No he didn't mention the weight. I like the extra weight in my chest so I thought this would take care of the butt. I did not go to any other doctors. The other thing is that I'm not sure all the reviews here are real.

That's my concern. Do you mind me asking what the cost was ? Hold you do a second round of Cellfina?

It was $3500. A second round was not recommended . I believe my Dr. was thorough. I still have bruising so maybe it will continue to improve. Maybe owing weight will help. Are you at a healthy weight? Based on BMI chart I'm 22.

I'm 5'7" 128 pounds but I do have a decent amount of dimples. I've tried VelaShape with minimal improvement.

Thank you for mentioning Velashape. I was thinking of trying that but will not. You must be very slender. If you are young with good skin, cellfina may be a good option for you.

Looks very painful - I'm thinking about doing this procedure but I'm concerned about the bruising. I also have a desk job. Maybe a few days off will be needed.

I also have a desk I took the day after the procedure off. I also took Arnica Montana and Bromelain a week before and after procedure. Wearing spanx helps a lot. 10 days after I started working out again. Right now a couple of incision sites are a bit tender but that's it as far as discomfort.
