Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a private consultation with Dr. Mark Song or an expert aesthetic nurse. This visit is focused on understanding what changes you'd like to see and whether Cellfina is the right solution for your concerns.
During your consultation, your provider will:
- Examine cellulite patterns while you stand and lie down
- Discuss your medical history and lifestyle considerations

- Provide a personalized quote and financing options
Together, you'll create a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and lifestyle, with safety and realistic outcomes as the priority.
The Cellfina Procedure
Cellfina is performed in our accredited office suite using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable and awake throughout.
During the procedure:
- Treatment areas are marked while you stand to pinpoint each dimple
- A local anesthetic solution is gently infused for numbness
- The Cellfina micro-blade device releases each fibrous band
- Sterile dressings and a compression garment are applied
Once all targeted bands are released, you'll rest briefly before walking out on your own—no stitches or general anesthesia required.
Cellfina Recovery Timeline
Recovery experiences vary, but most patients follow a similar general timeline.
Immediately after surgery Mild soreness and swelling are common; compression helps minimize these effects.
First few days
- Bruising may develop and peak around day two
- Resume desk work and light walking as tolerated
- Avoid hot tubs, pools, or strenuous leg workouts
Weeks 1-2
- Bruising and tenderness steadily resolve
- Most patients return to full daily routines
- Visible smoothing becomes more apparent
Weeks 3-4

Cellfina Cellulite Reduction Results and Safety Considerations
Understanding how technique, anatomy, and healing affect Cellfina results can help you set realistic expectations and feel confident in your decision.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
Our providers map each cellulite dimple individually, ensuring that only the necessary fibrous bands are released. This targeted approach preserves surrounding tissue, which maintains natural contours instead of over-correcting or creating unevenness. Your underlying skin quality, thickness, and overall body shape all influence the final appearance, so we tailor treatment depth and pattern accordingly.
Because Cellfina stimulates a healing response, new collagen forms in the treated area, supporting smoother skin long after initial recovery. Combining surgical precision with your body’s regenerative capacity results in improvements that look and feel natural—never over-processed.
Where Are the Incisions?
Cellfina uses very small puncture sites—about the size of a needle tip—to access the fibrous bands.
Tiny needle-sized entry points in the treatment zone
Incisions are carefully planned to follow natural contours and are closed with precision to support proper healing and minimize long-term visibility.
Is Scarring a Concern?
Because entry points are so small, visible scarring is rare. Any marks typically heal to a pinpoint that becomes virtually undetectable over time.
Scar Healing Timeline
As your body heals, scars will change gradually over time:
- Weeks 1-2
Entry sites may appear as tiny red dots - Months 1-3
Marks fade quickly and flatten into skin tone - Around 6 months
Most patients cannot locate the former entry points - 1-2 years
Skin continues remodeling; any residual marks are typically invisible
Following post-operative instructions and recommended scar care plays an important role in how scars mature.
Understanding Risks and Safety
Understanding Risks and Safety
Cellfina is generally safe when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon or qualified provider in an accredited surgical facility. However, as with any minimally invasive procedure, there are potential risks to be aware of.
Potential risks may include:
- Temporary bruising or swelling
- Mild soreness or tenderness
- Numbness or altered sensation
- Small areas of firmness under the skin
- Infection at entry sites
- Unsatisfactory smoothing requiring touch-up
Your surgeon will review these risks with you in detail during your consultation and explain how they are minimized through careful planning, surgical technique, and follow-up care.

Your safety is a top priority at South Coast Plastic Surgery. Steps taken to support a safe Cellfina experience include:

The cost of your procedure will vary based on a variety of factors. During your consultation, your doctor will discuss your desired outcomes in detail and provide a fully transparent breakdown of all associated costs. Our practice helps patients achieve their aesthetic goals with a variety of financing options.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.
Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
