Liposuction does not remove fat from the areas where cellulite lies, therefore it does not get rid of cellulite. It does not lessen the appearance of cellulite. In fact, if ones’ skin is lax due to age or excessive weight loss, cellulite can be more apparent than before.

Mesotherapy results are very patient specific. Not all people respond the same with those who tend to be active, and healthy responding the best over a course of treatments, however, proponents of mesotherapy say that nothing comes close to the results that mesotherapy gets with cellulite.

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.

Liposuction does not remove cellulite. In fact, liposuction often causes existing cellulite to appear more prominent. Mesotherapy treats the cellulite directly, reducing fat while promoting smoother skin and in targeted areas. The fat deposits are flushed from the body, and do not reappear in other areas, which often appears after liposuction.
