I have had cellulite as long as I can remember. I was so happy to hear that this procedure would help me get rid of most of the cellulite. I also wanted to try this procedure due to an injury I had on both my knees 9 years ago which prohibited me to work out as I normally did. Had the procedure early in August. Day of the procedure they gave me some medication for pain and to relax. Dr. Jeffery Riopelle and Dr. Donna Riopelle began to mark my thighs & butt. They started with the front of my legs with a device that felt like my skin was pulled into it in a pinch (did not hurt) and then administered the numbing needle. Then they started the slicing of the tethers which I didn’t feel at all. This went on throughout the procedure. I could feel one of the assistant ladies caressing my head and talking to me throughout the procedure. After they finished and wrapped me in plenty of gauze patches they put me in a garment that is meant to hold the gauze in place and to help with swelling. I was able to walk and sit with no problem on the way home. Pain-free. I slept the rest of that evening without any meds. In the morning I change the gauze (which they gave me). It leaked through the garment during the night so I was happy they gave me puppy pads to lay on. I changed the gauze 2 to 3 times the next day and showered that evening & change garments. It hurt a little to wash over the areas but mostly hurt sitting on the toilet…lol Skin was sore and very bruised but I’m a bruiser and it was worth it. Dr. Riopelle, very thoughtfully and caring called me to see how I was doing. Wore the garment for 2 weeks day and night for support and the bruising is slowly dissapating. Even with all the bruising, I can see a definite improvement already. There are some hard spots which can’t be seen but they feel like I have a couple of knots on my butt cheeks. I’m told massaging them will help them fade away. After 7 weeks I see a significant improvement and they say it will continue to do so for the next 6 months. I’m looking forward to it! Dr. Riopelle & Dr. Donna Riopelle are very caring and professional and did an amazing job! They do their best to make sure you are satisfied. The staff is very caring and helpful too, you can’t get any better than that.
