Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy solutions vary from practice to practice, since there is no set formulation. The most common include hyaluronic acid, phosphatidylcholine, other enzymes, and amino acids. There is limited research on the safety of mesotherapy, but the formulations are natural and safe. The treatment dissolves and reduces unwanted fat. It works best on small areas; larger areas are better treated with liposuction. A series gives the best results, and injections are relatively painless. Possible side effects include minor swelling, soreness, burning, minor skin discoloration, and a very low risk of infection. A consultation with an experienced mesotherapy physician will tell you whether you are a good candidate or would do better with liposuction.

Fat injections are a great natural and non-invasive procedure for smoothing wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds and augmenting cheeks and lips. Your physician will harvest your fat with liposuction then process it for your initial injection and then freezer storage. Once frozen, fat will remain “fresh” for one year so additional treatments can be performed throughout the year. Subsequent injections are typically performed every 8-10 weeks. Each injection builds on the prior to give you optimal control over the desired level or change. Schedule an appointment with your plastic surgeon in New York to find out if you are a good candidate for fat injections.

At this point in time there aren't any Food and Drug Administration approved fillers designed for augmenting the buttock. This area typically requires more volume than temporary injectables can achieve. If you desire a more shapely rear, surgical procedures such as a Brazilian butt lift or buttock implants will deliver the most consistent and lasting improvement. We advise that you arrange for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in Brazilian butt lift procedures in Manhattan or NYC to learn more about the options that suit your needs best.

The process of liposuctioning fat from a designated area for facial injections is a simple procedure that yields beautiful results with minor down time. Following liposuction, your thigh or abdomen may be slightly swollen and possibly bruised. At the same time, your surgeon will inject the fat into your face, which also may result in light swelling. Any bruising that occurs (common around the eyes) will diminish within a few days. Aside from slight bruising, by the following day no one should be able to tell you had anything done. Subsequent injections yield even better results and should be performed around 8-10 weeks later, with similar reactions.
