As : As mesotherapy is not fda approved and involves the off-label unapproved use of substances in an attempt to destroy fat cells, i would not recommend it and suggest going with the liposuction.

I : I would skip the meso and go to liposuction.This is very efective in removing areas of diet resistant fat and you know it will work.

Chose liposcution: Liposuction works well but it is important that the patient understands that it can only remove a relatively small amount of fat below the skin and is not a weight loss treatment. A consultation with your surgeon should make it clear what one can realistic expect. Mesotherapy is not fda approved and also not a weight loss procedure. If it is discreet area you want to change chose the liposuction.

Apples and oranges: Liposuction is a predictable procedure that is done to contour body areas by removing the unwanted fat. Mesotherapy is done through multiple injections and is not a body contouring solution.
