I had Cellulaze done on October 15, 2012 by Dr. Christine Petti. I am 63 and had horrible cellulite for many years so I wasn't expecting a miracle. I just hoped for some improvement. The actual procedure wasn't bad and I word the stage 1 and stage 3 compression garments for four months. It is almost six months now and I am upset about the new lumps of fat that hang over the inside of both knees. I did not have them before the cellulaze. Has anyone else had this happen? It looks awful! I was looking forward to wearing sundresses and shorts this summer but now I will have to cover up even lower than before the treatment. Dr. Petti said she can do Titan, for an additional cost, but I heard this is not effective.

I'm so sorry to hear about the new knee thing that is going on for you. :(

Please continue to keep us posted on how your knees are doing, and what changes you see.

So sorry to hear this, she was a Dr doing a show about how wonderful Cellulaze was, and she wants to charge for a correction? Cellulaze is really starting to be less then what they said it was going to be :(

It is now 6 months after cellulaze and the area above both knees looks horrible. It looks like the fat, swelling or whatever it is settled there. I will see Dr. Petti on Monday. I'll find out how much she really cares about helping her patients. I'm hoping she will want to correct what the cellulaze created above my knees. Now I have to wear longer clothes than when I had the cellulite. My fatty knees look worse than before. I am beginning to regret having cellulaze done at all!

I saw Dr. Petti for a follow-up to find out about fixing the fat and wrinkled areas on the lower thighs just above each knee. There is a 2"x2" area on each thigh that looks as if stage 3 of the Cellulaze procedure did not work, for whatever reason. Dr. Petti wants to re-do stage 3, the tightening stage, in those areas and charge $4,000 which includes a $1,000 discount! Outrageous!! She stated that doctors like her charge more. Wow!
