37 Year Old Mommy of 3 Girls! After Liposuction 6 Months Ago, Decided to Try Cellfina!

UPDATED FROM heavnzangel0429
16 days post

2 1/2 week update! Still in a ton of pain.

I've had to go in twice to have some seroma/ hematomas drained out. Unfortunately, my surgeon has not been very attentive to my needs in regards to the matter. I had to pretty much force him to drain them just to pull about 11 cc's of blood from one leg and 7cc's from the other and that was only on the first visit. 2nd visit, pulled blood again, I explained the pain, he prescribed an antibiotic. Anyway, up until now, I'm still in pain. Bruises have tapered down a lot!

Yes cellfina is painful but it works! I did cellulaze and it did not work and was twice the money! Cellfina does work and it helps deep dimples...i used arnica gel and also lidocaine cream...i had to take a pain killer the first few nights as they treated an area that has nerve damage due to an accident...i would say it is more painful than lipo...BUT using compression, ice and pain relieveing topical ointments helped...but mostly an over the counter pain Reliever works but then you risk more bruising....this seems extreme comapred to my experience and i had lots of dimples also there.far to many hole marks and some deep bruising...keep an eye on it ...I hope you get well soon...also note..you see some improvement right away..then it keeps improving..for me the six and eight months mark I oddly had another good push in improvement...so it is true it keeps getting better that first year
any new pics? how are you feeling now?
Ooh just saw those photos..your butt looks great..it does hurt...they are not telling the truth about it...cellfina works fantastically and iwas worth the pain for me!!!
Sorry to hear about your pain! This looks like one of the more thorough Cellina jobs done by someone as far as number of punctures which likely translates to more pain and discomfort and risk of infection. If you have the time fold you keep posting to see if more rigorous procedure translates into more dramatic than normal results?
Wow it looks like you have some infected needle punctures , they are filled with pus. I hope the antibiotics helped. Please give us an update if you can. Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery.
How does it look? I'm considering the procedure; please update us.

How are your results so far?
Still really bruised to even tell. I had to go in and get some IVs placed in to remove blood in these pockets I got. I had them in for two days and removed them, however, I still have blood pockets and they hurt like heck!
How are you doing now? Are the Brusses gone? is the treatment working now?
I had it done twice and hardly bruised.. BUT i am not an easy bruiser...people take arnica but they fail with it...because you are not supposed to take it with caffeine .... arnica gel helps...but ice helps more..i ask for ice before and after
That is a lot of needle marks and bruising...make sure it is not infected. i had it done twice and also had cellulaze and neither looked this serious

I've struggled with cellulite and dimples for a very long time! After my liposuction was done 6 months ago I noticed a lot more dimpling. I also gained some dents and banana rolls on my thighs. My Dr suggested doing a thigh lift, however , I couldn't imagine the recovery let alone the scars. I'm hoping Cellfina helps with some of the cellulite!
