Lots of attempts to repair. No luck

It has been a long time since I was disfigured by this treatment. I have received a lot of inquiries if I have found a solution. I haven’t. I have done body tight, veleshape, and j plasma to try to fix this. None of it has worked. I also tried micro needling for all the scars. Also didn’t work. Here are my photos from today. I tired to do a close up of the lots of scarring holes. Hopefully you can see them. This has been very depressing and embarrassing. I refuse to wear a bathing suit. It’s terrible. Please stay away from this procedure. It isn’t worth the risk of ending up like this. I was lied to. Be informed.

Had Exilis treatments to try and fix the mess
TN80December 5, 2016
So, I am feeling a bit discouraged this morning. I think I have permanent damage. I had complimentary Exilis treatments done to see if it would help the damage cellfina caused. It's been several months and I can't see a notable improvement. I go in in 2 weeks for another evaluation. Here is a side by side photo from the doctors office of their before and after to see the dangers of this procedure. Taken without a flash. Scars have also not improved. I have decided to try the Fascia Blaster now that I'm definitely healed. I will keep you posted if that helps!

I'm really sorry that this was your outcome. The horizontal lines look like welts to me . Are they raised? Because this is very alarming. Are the dimples now raised too? If so, perhaps fat injections would help to fill in the dimples. Please be careful with that fascia blaster. It seems pretty abusive to the skin and your skin has already been compromised. I wouldn't do it. Thank you for being so thoughtful to let the rest of us know about this procedure

Yes the areas are raised looking. My doctor thinks the Exilis is helping but if it is it isn't that noticeable to me. My legs don't even look close to as good as the before pictures. I will update pictures again before I begin the fascia blaster. I had it approved for use my last visit. You should join the fascia blaster group on Facebook. It has over 100,000 members and the results they post are amazing. I wish I would have found it before trying cellfina.

Hell ya the fascia blaster will smooth all that out! I have been using the fascia blaster for a year and I'm so glad I found it

I just talked to Diane who is doing my Exilis last week and she ok'ed the fascia blaster. I am going to start trying it!

Yes!! It takes some commitment and time but overall you will def see results ! Good luck!

Almost 3 months out this procedure made my legs look worse
TN80August 12, 2016
I am getting ready to go in for my 3 month checkup on Tuesday so I thought I would compare my photos. My legs look worse. Before picture on the left, after 3 months on the right. Not only was there no improvement but the back of my right leg especially looks far worse. You can see that there are more horizontal lines on the back of my leg now. I am pretty distraught about it. I was self conscious about my legs before now it is 10 times worse. There are deep indentions now in several places across the back of my leg that were not there before and I have round scars all over my legs. I would say if you even have the slightest bit of horizontal lines on the back of your legs DON'T do this procedure. I am not sure if my doctor can offer any help for this now. I have tried to look up solutions and there don't appear to be any. I am hoping my doctor can offer something. I will update what he thinks after my appointment on Tuesday. As for now I am changing this to not worth it.

I just wanted to sincerely thank you for posting this review. My legs look very similar to your before. No true dimples, just those annoying lines! I don't think I'm going to get this procedure done now. I really hope your legs get better. Please keep us all posted concerning your ::fingers crossed:: progress
August 13, 2016
You're welcome. I just wish I was told this could happen before I did it. I'm glad my review helped you. I would definitely say don't do it. The more new information I get I believe I was not a good candidate. Good luck to you, hopefully something can fix this!
August 14, 2016
Sorry hopefully things will improve for u. How did the post op appt go?. Is their any way u can get your money back.. if you weren't a good candidate the dr. Should have had enough knowledge to inform you. Thanks for updating.

I seriously doubt that being reimbursed for the negative results is an option. It was suggest that I pay an additional $2100 to try Exilis to try and fix the mess. I was a bit shocked. I definitely don't want to leave it this way but I'm a little upset I would be charged to try to fix it. However, I expressed that to his nurse and he is getting back to me about his solution after he reviews my situation.

Really?! Usually PS will work with you, especially if you are unhappy...sorry this happened to you. Your PS should definitely meet you halfway at the very least!! Good luck! I hope you can find a resolution.

Have you thought about trying out cupping? It has great reviews. Think that's what I'm going to try.
August 17, 2016
Yes actually! I have been giving the areas cupping massages after about 1 month post op. It doesn't seem to help obviously but I still do it using coconut oil too.

There's also the roller thingy. I'm guessing it's really the bruising that releases the bands that cause cellulite.

Hello,
I have done this last year and happy with my results. Here is what I've learned. If you have deep dimples, cellfina will be great for you. Any ripple type (like I think you have behind under the butt), simply won't work there. My doc explained that this procedure will only work for a single dent. Looks like your doc treated the ripples. I really wanted my doc to do the same, he said not there.
I am happy that my moon butt has smoothan . You can read my review.

I would just wait if I were you, it takes many months to settle .
Be positive :)

Yes, I knew from researching myself the lines could not be treated. What I didn't realize was that it would create more lines. I understand this is a very new proceedure so my doctor could also be learning but I feel he should have offered to try something to fix it without being out another $2000, but we will see. He has a good reputation and I have hopes he will try to help with the damage it caused. Congrats to you! I have read your story and many other successes. I am envious of all the great results. I don't think the proceedure itself is bad. I just think I was unlucky and wasn't a good candidate to begin with. I also think it may have been done incorrectly. The leg with the most sagging is the one that has big pit scars. Leading me to believe the entry was done wrong. The other leg only had a couple bad marks in comparison and does not have as much sagging.

Sounds just like my case: the left side didn’t change but the right buttock/thigh is worse with new lines and bumps. I am having a follow-up with my doctor this week.
August 30, 2016
I am interested to see what they offer for solutions. I had Cellfina done on the front of my thighs and it looks way worse than before as well. I am three months out too and my legs look WAY worse than they did before.
August 30, 2016
I actually received a call this morning that they are going to try Exilis. My doctor believes that it can significantly improve the sagging lines this treatment caused. It's not a solution for scarring. I don't want to get my hopes up but I will definitely let you know if it works. He offered to do 4 treatments for free.
