Cellulite Reduction in Atlanta, GA

No matter how thin and fit you are, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to prevent or diminish cellulite on your own. The fibrous tissue builds under the skin, mostly around the stomach, hips, and thighs, and creates a lumpy, dimpled appearance. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Marisa Lawrence, the founder and lead physician of Marisa Lawrence Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, is delighted to offer Cellfina. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration, Cellfina can correct the appearance of cellulite for about two years. By targeting the fatty tissue often found in the buttocks and thighs with a minimally invasive procedure, Cellfina releases the tissue and smoothes the treatment area in less than a week. Years ago, cellulite was nearly impossible to eliminate, but now you can enjoy exciting, noticeable results from your Cellfina treatments at Marisa Lawrence Plastic Surgery.

Cellfina provides great results with little risk for most men and women at Marisa Lawrence Plastic Surgery. However, you may not qualify if you have diabetes, varicose veins, an infection, or loose skin. Those taking blood thinners or who are pregnant should not have cellulite reduction treatments. Ideal candidates for cellulite reduction:

• Are at a healthy weight
• Have cellulite on their buttocks, legs, hips, or stomach
• Have toned skin

Before your cellulite reduction procedure, Dr. Lawrence will ask you to stand while identifying each of your treatment areas with a marker. For Cellfina, local anesthesia will be administered. Using suction to stabilize and keep the treatment area tight, a microblade will be inserted beneath the skin using the Cellfina device. The fibrous bands that cause cellulite will be separated, allowing the affected area to relax. This leaves behind smoother skin. The procedure can typically be completed in less than an hour.

In most circumstances, you will be able to return to your normal activities the same day after your procedure. However, we highly recommend you refrain from vigorous exercise for a few days to allow the treatment area the opportunity to heal. Side effects of the procedure are tenderness, swelling, and bruising. These side effects usually fade in the days after your procedure. Following your Cellfina treatment, you might see tangible results within just three days with peak results appearing in the months that follow. Individuals who maintain a healthy weight will see long-lasting results, but the procedure can be safely repeated as needed.

How much does cellulite reduction cost?
The total cost of your cellulite reduction treatment will be based on the size and the number of area(s) being treated. During your private consultation with Dr. Lawrence, these things will be discussed prior to estimating the cost of your treatment. We proudly accept many forms of payment and may be able to help you secure medical financing.

What is cellulite?
Cellulite is dimpled and lumpy skin that is often present on the thighs, hips, and butt of women. It can also affect men but is not as common. While the cause is unclear, many doctors believe cellulite is fat that has been inundated with toxins. Cellulite can be found on slim, as well as overweight bodies and may be the result of diet, age, or genetics.

How long are cellulite reduction treatments?
Treatment sessions last approximately 30 – 60 minutes with no recovery period following. This means your session can be completed just about anytime you'd like. For Cellfina, patients usually need 6 – 8 sessions scheduled around one week apart to attain the best possible results.

How can I recover faster from cellulite reduction?
With nonsurgical cellulite reduction, you should be able to return to your normal daily routine the next day. However, Dr. Lawrence recommends you avoid rigorous activity, including exercise for 1 – 2 weeks. Following your appointment, you may feel warm and notice slight redness, but you are safe to return to daily activities.

Will I have continuous improvements after cellulite reduction treatments?
Yes. One of the most noteworthy benefits of cellulite reduction is continued improvement and cellulite reduction over time. This is the result of stimulated collagen growth taking place beneath the skin.
