What is Cellulite Removal?

Cellulite Removal is for women and men who suffer from dimpled or an orange-peal resemblance in their inner, outer and upper thighs, hips, and buttocks. These areas can benefit from the effective way of removing cellulite by surgical means. There are other alternatives; however none of them have been proven to be effective. Surgical methods offer more successful ways to remove cellulite.

 

A Good Candidate for Cellulite Removal

Good candidates for cellulite removal are healthy non-smoking individuals, who are no more than 20 pounds overweight as this procedure does not offer a solution to weight loss. Cellulite often times has nothing to do with being overweight. In most cases it is hereditary. The minimum age requirement for this surgical operation is 18.

 

Cellulite Removal Procedure

The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will determine the best method to achieve your desired end results. Cellulite may be removed surgically by using liposuction or laser lipolysis to break up and remove the fat deposits. The deposits have caused a build-up and latency in certain regions of the body, resulting in a dimpled-appearance.

 

A lower body lift is also a possible option for cellulite removal, in which the skin around the affected area is lifted and the muscles are tightened, as in a face lift procedure. Incisions are closed with dissolvable or removable stitches, in which the patient may be required to return to the hospital to have the stitches removed. This procedure is outpatient.

 

Average Duration of Cellulite Removal: 2-4 hours

 

Risks and Side Effects of Cellulite Removal

Potential side effects and risks associated of cellulite removal may be manifested by allergic reaction to the anesthesia, bleeding, and infection, soreness, swelling and bruising.

 

Recovery from Cellulite Removal

Patients may go undergo a local anesthesia with sedatives, but general anesthesia is also an option. Swelling and bruising are to be expected, which typically subsides in about a week. Prescription pain medications should be sufficient enough to relieve pain and soreness after the procedure.

 

Be sure to avoid anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin for several weeks following the procedure. The affected areas may feel numb for 2 days. A compression garment may be worn for 3 days- 1 week to reduce swelling and support the affected area. The patient may be able to return to work after one week, but sitting down may be painful for the first week or two following the surgery.

 

Results of Cellulite Removal

The results of cellulite surgery are gradual, and complete cellulite removal is not guaranteed. The patient should begin noticing the results of this procedure within a few months.
