Mesotherapy Risks

What are the risks of side effects from mesotherapy?

A: Lots of issues with Mesotherapy!

Mesotherapy been used in Europe and else where for quiet some time. I’m sure that some practitioners have achieved a level of mastery in using this technique without complications. The picture is a little different in the US. I have personally seen in my practice many patients treated else where that were not happy or had complications. It could be the provider fault and not the technique but I still think there are many problems related to this technique e.g. bumps, discoloration, fat necrosis, muscle pain, etc.

Hope that helps

Mesotherapy to Remove Fat Pads Under Eyes

Which is the most safe and effective way to remove fat pads from lower eye lids: blepharoplasty or mesotherapy? Is mesotherapy safe to inject into the eye sacks? Is blepharoplasty more accurate than mesotherapy? I have fat pads - although not bad but noticeable. I am a 23-year-old African-American. I would like them to be removed, but if I can go the non-invasive way, I will. Thanks!

A: Transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty is 100%...

Transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty is 100% the way to go, especially for a young person who has genetic (versus age-related) orbital fat pseudoherniation. I recommend this procedure for patients with lower eyelid 'fat bags' related to aging, as well. There are no visible scars and the results are excellent in experienced hands. While injectables are an effective means to recontour and smooth the transition between the lower eyelids and the cheek, they are temporary. Mesotherapy is not FDA-approved and has no U.S. studies to evaluate safety or efficacy; do not take a chance on this treatment around your eyes!
