Subcision and fat transfer
In cases of deep or severe cellulite dimples that have not responded—or are unlikely to respond—to non-invasive treatments, a combination of fat transfer and subcision may be recommended. Performed under local anesthesia, this treatment involves releasing the fibrous tension bands beneath the skin using a fine needle (subcision), followed by the transfer of the patient’s own fat into the affected area. This dual approach helps smooth the skin from within, offering long-lasting, natural improvement.
