I had Cellulaze about 3 weeks ago and I am just starting to feel better. I had an incredible amount of pain especially when I stood up from laying down, or when I stood up from the sitting position. It felt like anvils were hanging off the sides of my thighs and pulling down with a lot of painful force. I still have bruising... the upper thighs are a darker color in the form of a filled-in square where the doctor put on the templates. I want people to know that it isn't simply a week of discomfort and minimal bruising. I am attaching a picture 2 weeks post procedure. Hope this helps.
