Cellulite treatment using endoscopic scissors

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to report a new surgical technique for cellulite treatment, using autoclavable endoscopic scissors to release the fibrous band under tumescent anesthesia with the least number of access wounds targeting the entire affected area. Twelve female patients, all who suffered from stage III on the Numberger-Muller cellulite classification, underwent the procedure Satisfaction rate was measured by the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). Ten patients scored 4 on the GAIS, and two patients scored 3. This technique had minimal side effects and was cost effective.
