A: Mesotherapy may cost you more than money can fix

Scott E. Kasden, MD

I have seen the results of mesotherapy, and it wasn't pretty! The results-divots, high points, unaesthetic results, that required surgery to improve but not fix. This procedure is too unpredictible for me to recommend.  Don't do this.  Really, don't do it. On second thouight, don't do it.

A: Wait!

I do not recommend it and I warn against it.  Patients that I have seen after the therapy have all been unhappy with the results.  Also, we just dont know where the fat goes; being absorbed by your body is not physiologically sound. Just dont do it.  If you're interested in getting rid of the... more

This is a good procedure. I had done 300-400 procedures with great results. One procedure went wrong and patient had some skin breakdown that took 1.5month to heal without permanent scaring. I will recommend it to anyone. It is safe. No mortality associated with it. Yes it may be uncomfortable and even painful. I am pain management doc. I use pain meds liberally so pain control is not an issue. Ask these plastic surgeons how many deaths associated with liposuctions. Also ask how many times things go wrong. Than make decision do it or not. I charge 150-300 dollars per treatment. Price depends on Body part you want to treat. Good luck. Sincerely Dr Mike
