it has now been a year and a half since my last procedure and I'm scarred for life

I am covered in what Dr. Decorato called "modeling" which he said the company behind Cellulaze was unaware of as a side effect and should "go away on it's own". Right. Basically modeling is discoloration all over the areas that I had the procedure done. Also, I still have a ton of awful cellulite. All of that money wasted. I feel duped and I have tried to reach out to my doctor numerous times at this point to no avail...I can never show my legs again. When I get out of the shower and look at them I cry because it's horrible. The amount of pain (and numbness I still feel) was wholly not worth this and it causes me so much emotional pain - I should never spent the money. I wish my Dr. would have been more honest about results because I would have never put myself through this (and certainly not TWICE!!) I also still have lots of scars from the incisions. What a nightmare.

At this point I am really wondering if it would be worth it to speak with a malpractice lawyer?...Have any of you?

Sooo I had the proceedure done again. Nothing...

Sooo I had the proceedure done again. Nothing more to really update thus far since Im still bruised and swollen (had the surgery 3 days ago) it was still painful but the bruising isnt AS bad as lat time. I will let you know how things start looking as I heal again.

So it's been 6 months and I went to Dr. Decorato...

So it's been 6 months and I went to Dr. Decorato yesterday for my checkup and he is going to redo everything. Now while that is great since I dont have results, I really dont want to go through the pain and discomfort again. I will, but I dont want to...ugh. Anyway, let me tell you how everything is feeling in terms of the healing process...I am pretty much back to normal at this point, the numbness is gone and the discoloration I experienced is pretty much undetectable. The lumpiness (that I got from smartlipo) went away after the 1st month so if that happens to you let your doc know and massage the area - it should dissapate. My legs are a bit more sensitive but other than that I feel fine. I do hope this second round produces some visable results...I'll be damned if I can't wear shorts this summer!

Dr. Decorato was great - he answered all my questions and explained everything as it was being done. Once I went home I had a few more questions and even though he was no longer in the office he called me within 10 mins to make sure I was feeling ok (I was in pain when I left) and to answer my questions. One of the days I went it I did wait a really long time, but my apointment was later in the day so I would say the earlier you go in the quicker you will be seen - otherwise be prepaired for a wait. The staff is all very sweet as well.
