5 day post mesotherapy
No bruising. Swelling went down. I took arnica all those days and this helps preventing the bruise

I was curious and took a plunge with Mesotherapy-Kybella like treatment. Dr Rodriguez makes his own concoction with the chemicals used in Kybella (deoxycholic acid) and a few other helping chemicals like phosphatidylcholine. The doc explained thoroughly what he will do and how it would work on me patiently. He drafted a "map" under my chin and went to it skillfully, jiggling with each injection to reduce the pain or distract my "horror". It must be 30 injections or so, but not bad at all. He said that squirmy patients can request numbing cream for a small fee prior to injections. Patients must come a little bit ahead to wait for the numbing cream to take effect.
I have no problems with pin pricks and went through everything fine. The office offered a chin strap to wrap around my chin in case I will balloon up.
Indeed I ballooned up at home like a bull frog and had some bruises under the chin for about 5 days. I just used a scarf and went about my business.
Amazingly, my fatty little chin chin slowly disappeared. I am so pleased.
I just came back to Dr Rodriguez for a follow up as I had saved 4 mesotherapy sessions with him ahead. He said that the chin was doing great and just needs a tine retouch. He used the mesotherapy session to contour my fatty fat face. I always have a round face. With age, my cheeks droop a bit and I get those 2 little cushiony pads of fat on both sides. He said that the mesotherapy will define my face better. Less baby face on an old woman.
Bullfrog face again! This time, it's a combination of chipmunk and bull frog. He injected both sides of my face. Not painful at all! He added some hydrocortisone cream over the injections sites and told me not to scratch. I still have my face sling which I could use but find it hideous and in the way.
This time, I am taking some arnica and chymotrypsin to tone down the bruising. We will see what happens. The doctor said that he will share pictures of before and after upon my next visit in 6 weeks. I know that the fat under my chin was gone and I am very happy. My doctor is amazing. Very thorough and seems to be very experienced and skillful. I am a bit of a nerd who studies everything to death and research before jumping in with any new adventure. I am not an easy patient. However, I trust my doctor. He did not talk down to me and took the time to explain, showed examples, photos, drawings etc...He has a calm and collected demeanor.
His office staff is great also. Very friendly and accommodating team.

Provider Review
Very gentle and thorough physician with excellent bedside manner. Very experienced and knowledgeable about his craft. Reasonable cost and convenient location near St Joseph Hospital. I also had Botox with Dr Rodriguez which I will detail in another review. Excellent as well.
