If you click on my CoolSculpting review you will...

If you click on my CoolSculpting review you will see how my abdomen was left deformed by a procedure I thought was completely safe. Little did I know that years (and many thousands of dollars) later...I'd still be searching for a way to make it better. To try to even out the divot and unevenness I have tried:
---Subsequent CoolSculpting (didn't work $$)
--Velashape/Venus Legacy (waste of $$)
--Liposonix (more $$ wasted)
--Two consults with Lipo Doctors (more $$) and I'm too afraid to get lipo lest I cause even MORE problems.
I still have a few good bikini years left and each year around this time I dread to think how self-conscious I will be on the beach with my deformed tummy. I read about Dr. Shapiro and Mesotherapy and while there are mixed reviews on Meso--she is an expert with many years of experience, so I thought I would try one last time to rectify my situation.
I went for the consult today. Dr. Shapiro was very thorough and explained how she would use an injection gun to evenly and accurately target the areas that may help to make me look smoother again.
The procedure wasn't bad at all, and now I have just a bit of stinging. I purchased a package of five treatments. It's very painful to spend even MORE money ($2,540) on this problem I created for myself. I am really hoping this will help and I will document my progress.

Please, if you have done mesotherapy, don't do any type of liposuction surgery! no smartlipo or similar. My sister did mesotherapy and couple of years later did a lipo and the results were devastating. Her abdomen was completely deformed for life. Read other two reviews of other women here in this website, that the results were terrible doing a smartlipo after doing mesotherapy. So please, do not do any of these surgeries!

I don't plan to do any surgery--but thanks for the warning. I'm just curious how meso could affect lipo since it doesn't actually eliminate the fat cells like freezing does.

I think it has to do with the solution that is injected into your tissues and that for some reason, they are not in the same condition to react well after an invasive surgery when removing the fat. The picture that woman posted of her abdomen and the lumps, it looks exactly the same how my sister's abdomen looks. Another woman described the same results too in her abdomen. It's just too scary!!

I would love to hear how this works. CoolSculpting also deformed my hips and belly. the treatments did reduce some of the fat there, but it created one prominent fat ridge along my thigh and another fat ridge above my belly button. I went back to the place that gave me the treatments and they suggested more CoolSpculpting targetting these areas. i took their advice and it didn't work. All they say now is "Well, it is not too bad." Thanks, I spent thousands to improve my figure and instead made it lumpy. I would love to know whether this mesotherapy works to solve your problem because I am seeking a solution.

I hope you get the results you want!!! Ugh. So sorry. I’ve had many mess ups myself.
What is she injecting? Sounds like something to make your body produce collagen, which will take time and the immediate results is just swelling and the product before it’s illiminates. Also, how long will it last I wonder. Fat grafts are also a risk as many times much of the fat doesn’t take.
I’ve been searching everywhere on the internet for a magic wand!

Shocked!

It's only a day and a half after the first treatment and the long horizontal dent under my right rib and the divot (dent) above my belly button are MUCH smoother. The skeptical side of me says this is because the concave area is probably just filled in by fluid/swelling....we shall see. The big weird ball of fat is still the same....but I do have four more treatments to go.

As I suspected, the smoothness was due to swelling filling up the concave areas. They are now back to the same. However, I have several sessions left and am hoping for some improvement.

I'm sorry you don't see any changes yet- hopefully you'll get some better results with the rest of your sessions, like you said. Let us know.

HI, Did you have a good response to the treatment? I have noticed that there are fewer docs doing mesotherapy since the FDA stepped in and dictated what could be injected. I had meso several years ago, and though my results were mixed, it is certainly a much slower and less invasive process than lipo or coolsculpt. I hope you had good results.
September 30, 2015
I hope you see the results you are looking for. I think based on the smooth shape caused by the swelling, you might consider fat transfer to the area that is concave. I am not a doctor, it just seems like the obvious solution based on your post. It may increase your waist by an inch or whatever but you won't have a deformity. My apologies if I have overstepped.
Keep us posted on how things go for you. When is your next treatment?
