Can I have phosphatidylcholine injections for under eye bags? (photos)

August 11, 2014
Asked By:kt80 in New Orleans, LA

I have read about using phosphatidylcholine injections rather than surgery to dissolve fat under eyes. Is this a relatively new procedure? Is it safe? How effective is it? Would it work for small bags like mine? What kind of surgeon would I seek out for this treatment? Do many surgeons perform this procedure? Cost?
