Liposuction 360

Posts Tagged ‘Mesotherapy vs Liposuction’

There are many differences between mesotherapy and liposuction. The following are just a few of the differences:

1. Mesotherapy is limited in the amount of fat it can remove and it is not beneficial to areas of significant fat accumulation.  Liposuction is designed to remove large amounts of fat.

2. Mesotherapy results are very patient specific. Not all patients respond the same. Patients  who tend to be active  and healthy seem to respond the best over a course of treatments. Liposuction is more consistent since the fat is mechanically removed. Typically larger quantities of may be removed with liposuction whereas  mesotherapy targets smaller specific areas.  Liposuction, though, poses a significantly greater risk since the patient undergoes either local or general anesthesia.

3. With Mesotherapy, if a patient regains weight, the fat cells that were treated simply get large again and the previously treated area regains it’s normal size. With Liposuction, since the fat cells were removed, other areas of the body can accumulate fat if significant weight is regained. Typically this occurs under the upper arm, the back, and the thighs.
