Improving cellulite with plastic surgery

How plastic surgeons are using latest procedures?

• Liposuction:  It does not reduce cellulite by itself. Some surgeons, however, have reported performing a technique of cellulite lysing (breaking up) using a liposuction cannula (hollow tube powered by gas or electricity) that features a smooth, round-tipped tunneling rod inserted in a hollow casing with a sharp, V-pronged cutting edge. The tunneling rod assures passage under the skin to the area to be broken up, while the curette fork (loop shaped surgical instrument) extends at the tip to sever only the dimple-causing connective tissue system. The area that is released can then be injected with fat to fill the space. For vast majority of women, this technique does improve the appearance of cellulite.  (Related:  Reduce cellulite by losing weight)
• Fat injections:  Autologous fat that is obtained from donor sites in the abdomen and flank areas may fill in depressions. Again, this is more successful if a release is performed at the same time. However, the results of fat injections may not be permanent. But since no foreign material is injected, the results look more natural.
• Lower body lift:  This procedure evolved from what used to be called “Cellulite Lift.” The technique was designed to replace the thigh/buttock lift, a procedure that works well for some patients but may produce scars that are visible when wearing a bathing suit. The lower body lift requires an incision around the entire circumference of the abdominal and buttock area, so that excess skin can be removed and the entire flank, thigh and buttocks areas can be lifted. The incision can usually be placed discreetly within standard or high-cut bikini lines. The result of the procedure is tightening of the back, flank and abdominal tissues, and reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the lifted areas. The lower body lift is a major surgical procedure that requires a lengthy recovery and leaves an extensive, though well-positioned, scar. For this reason, it requires specially careful patient selection and, as with all cosmetic surgery, the patient's full informed consent. You must think hard about this procedure after doing all your research and understanding the risks.  
• Endermologie:  This mechanical roller massage therapy has been proposed as a treatment for cellulite and as complement to liposuction. Treatments may produce temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite, but long-term results of this non-invasive therapy are yet to be established, either clinically or scientifically. Endermologie in and of itself has not been found to be beneficial for producing long -term and lasting clinical results but Bruce Shack of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine analyzed the effect of endermologie and concluded that it break ups cellulite with one caveat.  The quality of results varies by the professional who does it. This means that when you are going to spend over a thousand dollars on the procedure you might want to pick the right person (it can be doctors, chiropractors, or massage therapists) to do it. 
• Mesotherapy:  In this procedure, small amounts of homeopathic medicine are injected immediately beneath the surface of the skin to break down the cellulite and to improve circulation and lymphatic and venous drainage. Like Endermologie, there are no scientific studies to back up claims that mesotherapy improves the appearance of cellulite. Mesotherapy is also not yet 
  approved by the FDA.
