Cellfina has emerged as a safe and effective treatment for cellulite on the thighs and buttocks. The procedure is deemed minimally invasive and has received approval from the FDA. If you have excess, dimple-like cellulite on your lower torso and are at a healthy weight level, you are an ideal candidate for the procedure.
At Frank Fechner, MD Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center, we often have patients ask about the anesthesia that will be used while Cellfina is performed. The treatment is performed in office. Since minimal invasion is required, with only a small needle-sized device being inserted under the skin, patients only require local anesthesia.
Once dimpling has been identified and marked the area on which the procedure will be performed, it will be numbed with local anesthesia. After the area is numb, the procedure is carried out and you can recover in the next couple of days.
