Hello! I’m interested in the new injectable treatment for cellulite named Qwo. It just became FDA approved for the treatment of cellulite this year. Does anyone know if it could be used on the stomach to treat irregularities from liposuction? Any ideas on how much each treatment will cost? Thank you in advance.

Answer: Treatment for liposuction side effects Thank you for your question. Qwo is a brand new injectable treatment for addressing cellulite. It is a prescription medication that, once injected, works by targeting the fibrous bands that lead to the dimpled appearance of cellulite. As the bands are destroyed, the skin becomes smoother and cellulite is visibly reduced. Although Qwo is FDA-approved, it won’t be available at your doctor’s office until Spring 2021. Since it targets the bands and not fat cells, it would not be a good option for your liposuction irregularities. Although it sounds like you may have scar tissue in the area as well, this agent has not been tried or tested for that purpose. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified physician with expertise in body contouring for further assessment and treatment recommendations. For liposuction abnormalities there are other tested methods to smooth out irregularities from poorly performed liposuction. We often release scars under any divots, use ThermiTight to tighten skin if necessary, and use micro-liposuction and fat transfer to smooth out bumps and divots.

Answer: Improving Cellulite with Cellfina, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, Sculptra, VASER, Renuva Fat, Bellafill; Subcision; NovaThreads this injectable does very little, most cellulite needs cutting of the bands (cellfina) and injectables like sculptra, radiesse, bellafill, renuva. RF treatments and muscle toning such as trusculpt are needed as maintenance. irregularities on the stomach will not be treated with this that needs revision liposuction, tummy tuck and fat grafting in most instances.
