Brief Summary
To determine whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) or manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is more effective for decreasing post-liposuction cellulite. Thirty females with grade 3 cellulite were randomly distributed into two equal groups: group A (ESWT group) (n=15) and group B (MLD group) (n=15). The cellulite grade was assessed by using the cellulite grading scale, and the thickness of subcutaneous fat was assessed by the skinfold caliper. The assessment was carried out before starting the treatment and after 4 weeks. All participants received treatment 2 times/ week for 4 weeks.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Cellulite grade
Cellulite grading scale grade 0: means a smooth surface of the skin while standing, grade 1: means mattress phenomena upon pinch-test, grade 2: means mattress phenomena spontaneously while standing, grade 3: means mattress phenomena while in standing and lying position Higher score means bad progression
4 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Shock wave group
EXPERIMENTALReceived Extracorporeal shock wave therapy twice/week for 4 weeks
Manual lympharic group
EXPERIMENTALReceived manual lymphatic drainage twice a week for four weeks
Interventions
The participant was placed into supine lying position then the head of the shock wave was applied on the anterior or posterior aspect of the thigh which was scanned with 2000 shots for both horizontal direction and vertical direction. The period of each session was 15 minutes, 2 times/week for 4 weeks
