Sacramento Doctor for Mesotherapy

[debster]

Has anyone tried the mesotherapy treatments with Dr. Schorr here in Sacramento? I would like to hear of their experiences. Thanks.

[tutti]

Hi Debster,

Regarding the Sacramento doctor; where did you find him? Did you see his ad in News and Review? I find it rather odd that I can't find a local number for him, or for that matter, much information on him at all. The 800 number in his ad routes you to an Arizona clinic!! Where is his office? Exactly what KIND of doctor is he? A plastic surgeon? A general practice/internal medicine doctor? Who knows? There is a Michael Stanley Schorr MD listed with the Ca Medical Board, but he is down by Modesto. Is this the same guy? Where was this guy trained in Mesotherapy? And when?

On a better note, I am going to So Cal next month to see Dr Llorente. I was referred to her by the woman that runs www.hollywoodbeautysecrets.com. I'm pretty impressed with the Doctor. www.llorente.com She does the treatment in 2 or 3 visits. She said that this is so new here in US that the majority of the Drs are 'watering down' their mixtures, thats why it takes them 10+ visits/treatments. She gives the mix like she was taught=regular strength, not watered down and rarely does it take more than 3 visits. She is more impressed with the use of Mesotherapy for pain management rather than body sculpting, but said that it does work. She charges 250-450 per area, I believe. I will verify that figure and if its wrong, I'll change it...I just don't want to get up and go downstairs to look now..

Please let me know what you know about Dr Schorr

Hi Tutti,

Yes I did find him in the Sacramento News and Review. We must be trying to do the same things! Yes I did a search for him with the CA Medical Board and I found a Michael Schorr in Patterson, CA which I believe is just a bit south of Modesto. As much as I searched on the internet, that was all that I could find for him. I don’t know where or how he got his training. I was trying to figure that out myself as to what kind of doctor he is and have not had any success.
I did call the 800 number listed in the paper and got connected with someone in his office. She told me that they were based in Modesto and he commutes to Sacramento a few days out of the week. He provides the treatments at three locations in the Sacramento area. One place in Folsom, Greenfaire Wellness Salon (I think) and at Topoli’s Beauty Salon.

I was told that it was $900 for the first 4 visits and then $ 600 for the next 4 visits and I was to pick one area that I wanted treated. And if I wanted a second area treated, it was $600 for 4 visits. Payment is due upfront for each set of 4 treatments. Is this pricing appropriate?

That’s about all that I learned. I would just like to know if anyone has actually used him as their doctor and if they had a favorable experience. So far I’ve come up empty handed as well.

I’ve called Dr. Jennings office as well and I am waiting to hear from them. His office that is nearest to Sacramento would be in San Ramon which I believe is about an hour and a half from Sacramento. That is the closest that I am aware of.

Please keep me posted about Dr. Llorente! And yes I would be interested in the pricing as well. You’re welcome to email me directly too if you would like as I would like to hear about your progress and your experiences!

Hi Deb

Hmmm. I would be leary of going to a Doctor that you can't find any information on. Heck, I think he finished med school in 1978! There should be something about him somewhere wouldnt you think?

Is that 900 for each visit and you need 6, at only one area treated? or 900 total for all 6 visits? I hate how the pricing seems so random. I'm not sure about what constitutes an 'area' either. Do both legs, front and back, count as one area, two areas or 4 areas? lol I'd like to just call my whole body one area but I don't think they will go for that. I'm going to call Llorente's office again and pick their brain some more. I got a super cheap flight down there: $137 RT, I leave in the morn and come home in the afternoon. She schedules your next visit 6-8 weeks later, not every week, because of the dosage she uses. I can't wait. I'm taking vicodin with me because I'm a big crybaby when it comes to pain. I dont want to get down there and start whinning about the pain and have her tell me to get back to Sac!

Regarding her rate: OK <sigh> I'll go downstairs and look for you ;)

It's 250-550 per area. I dont know what the deciding factor is tho that determines if it's a 250 area or a 550 area.

I'll get back to you after I call her office.

(off topic) I thought it was kind of strange that all 3 of my cats are still sleeping. They almost always get up with me so they can be directly under my feet at all times. Well, when I went downstairs to check on that price, I found 8 rolls of paper towel shredded into teensy pieces all over the place. They must be pooped out from all that work last night! It looks like it snowed down there! lol

[debster]

Hi Tutti,

I have to agree with you. Yes I am feeling a bit leary. You would think that there would be something somewhere about him…(besides our postings!)

It is $900 for 4 visits and you pick one area. So if I wanted my hips treated, both sides of my hips I was told would be counted as one area….and I would go for 4 visits and the total charge is $900. There obviously isn’t any guarantee of results so let’s say I don’t see any results after 4 visits and I think I should need more treatments. Then the next 4 treatments would be another $600. Let’s assume now I want my waist done now. That is another area and another $600 for another 4 treatments. Each visit is a treatment. So I’m just wondering what if 4 treatments aren’t enough?

My other confusion is your example. $250 - $550 per area. What is the deciding factor? And how do you know when you are done? If your measurements after 3 treatments goes down 1/8 of an inch? Does that mean you’re done because your measurements did budge? And if you want to lose more, do you pay more now?

Does Dr. Llorente do Saturday appointments too? Will she be doing any tests on you to make sure you aren’t allergic to anything? That’s my other concern. So when is your first appointment? How exciting!

(Your cats are probably exhausted from all the shredding they did last night! )

Someone contacted me today about being listed on the website. She does mesotherapy, so maybe she'll be able to answer some of these questions...
I'll let her know about the message board, and I'll let you know as soon as her listing is up. She's a nurse practitioner.

Danya

[tutti]

Is she in Sacramento?

[danya]

no, sorry. north San Diego.

[gina limo]

I'm in sac too and would like Dr. Schorr's number!!! Thanks!

[Cal gal]

Hi
I have had one session with Dr Schorr in Sacramento. Lots of redness and some bruising, but the short term issues don't bother me. I am hoping for some results. He has a website called www.mesoskinny.com, and he works out of salons/spas in Sac and Bay Area. I went in for the consultation and was not going to do the treatments on the same day; just wanted info. But I decided to go ahead (there wasn't a hard sell though).
I agree, it would be nice to have more info on Dr.Schorr. He says he trained in Scottsdale, Az and has been doing meso for about 8 months. He isn't listed as a member on www.mesotherapy-us.com/main.html, but I'm not sure if that is standard or not.

I tried Endermologie last year. I did experience some smoothing and even some thinning, but it is definitely temporary. If you don't do it regularly (including all winter long), forgetabboutit. All results will be gone. And I don't want to be tied to that process for years to come.

I'll let you know if this was $900 well spent.

[tutti]

Hi Cal Gal

Where is his office in Sacramento?

Did you feel comfortable with him?

Did he seem comfortable doing the procedure, was he at all hesitant like from inexperience?

Did they numb you up with numbing cream or was it even offered?

Is the 900 for the day you went?

What areas did that cover and was it for cellulite or shaping or both?

and finally, Whew! <wiping sweat from brow from furiously typing> how many sessions did he say you were going to need?

thanks
tutti

ps that mesoskinny.com is pretty much an unfinished piece of crap, IMO. The only link that works, (for the last 2 months) is the one to Restylane and it goes to a clinic in Arizona! Why cant this Schorr guy get his s*** together and do a proper website? I just have a *feeling* about him. I can't really justify it, but it's there nonetheless.

[Cal gal]

I felt comfortable with him after I met him. Ahead of time, I didn't. I'm always warey of things like this and people that do them. But because 20/20, news stations et al have covered it, I became more interested. I'm not sure how to know if he is a good mesotherapist or not. He seemed to know what he was doing, but I believe that giving injections is not the art. Rather I think it's where you do the injections, kinda of ************tail used, etc.

He used numbing cream. He doesn't have an office in Sac; he works out of salons that offer endermologie. Kinda hokey, I know. But I suppose it is a great marketing strategy cause you are targeting people who are looking for cellulite treatments and other esthetic treatments.

$900 is for 4 sessions, one area (back of legs). I'm not sure about your question regarding cellulite vs. shaping but maybe this answers it: he uses two diff types of injections, one for dimples and one for the fatty tissues around the dimples.

How do we judge his technique or skill?

[tutti]

Thanks for getting back to me. As far as judging his skill, I don't know.

Piggybacking out of someone elses salon is SUPER hokey and unprofessional, I think. Almost sounds like a medicine man trailer passing thru town lol. Does he have an office anywhere in the state, or does he just drive around popping into salons and offering his service? Should he be charging as much as Drs with their own offices? I think not. I wish there was more (read: ANY) information available on him.

When do you go again? Which salon did you go to?

[Karen D]

Look up physicians by going to www. medbd.ca.gov in California. Dr. Michael Schorr's license is G44829. His office is First Care Medical Center, 821 E Street, Patterson, CA 95363.

I'd like to know if he's boarded in anything too.

Karen D

[tutti]

I have been scouring the net to find ANY info on this guy, and found nothing (except his license info at the state board.)

Have you ever heard of a Doctor doing what he does: Popping into salons? I havent.

t

[Karen D]

Dr. Jennings does the same thing -- works out of a salon up in San Ramon, although I understand he has a regular office in Orange County. I have a friend who's been to Jennings a couple times. Haven't heard back from her about real results, though.

[tutti]

Am I the only one who thinks it odd that these docs are 'working out of a salon'? Someone else'ssalon. I can't think of any other kind of doc that does this. Maybe it's just me.

[Karen D]

Yes, it is definitely odd. What if something goes wrong, like a drug reaction? Is he prepared for that?

[debster]

Have you seen any results yet as a result of your visits to Dr. Schorr?

Did he do any skin testing first to make sure you weren't allergic to whatever the ************tail is that he uses?

I'm just leary of the fact that he operates out of different salons. I know Topoli on Watt Avenue is one of the salons that he works out of.

Please let us know how your experience is going with him!

[mara]

Re: doctors working out of salons:

My husband was an M.D. and a great number of our friends were, as well. We're in a very large metropolitan area, where it takes about 2 hours to get from one end of the urban sprawl to the other. Sometimes a doctor will have a clinic (yes, his own clinic) in one area but travel to other areas (or other cities) one day per week for the convenience of his patients. This was only for simple procedures that didn't really require a medical facility, such as botox. I don't know any physician who would do anything risky without having a crash cart nearby, both for ethical and safety reasons, and if nothing else malpractice insurance costs a fortune and they set certain guidelines. Find out why the doctor is using a salon- it is probably just for your convenience.

[tiffy111]

Cal Gal-

I'm real curios(sp?) to know how you feel about the progress you've experianced w/ Dr. Schorr. He's going to start working a salon in modesto (where I work) 2 fridays a month. We had a meeting with him and his assistant (I think) today. He seemed like a really nice guy, and I'm gonna talk to him about starting treatments.

I totally understand why he works out of salons a few days a week $$$$. Okay so he has a practice in patterson, thats a way small town, not to many people to get this stuff done. So if he were to open up in a bigger town, hes got all of the leasing and start up cost w/ little to no clientel at the beginning, and to get the clients theres advertising costs. So he goes into these salons a few days a week, and has the clientel that they've provided for him. Doing it that way he has no property cost, no advertising cost, a built in clientel, and all he has to do is cut the salon on on the profits! Hello thats great!!! So the salons make profit off him being there, and also build more of a clientel through word of mouth, and the word of mouth is already huge.

[debster]

The low overhead makes sense. I would like to know what the experiences and results people have had with him? Cal Girl, Please let us know how you are doing!

[tutti]

I dont think Calgal is around anymore :(

However, I will be seeing Schorr next Wed. (7/28) and will let you know how it goes <gulp>

tutti

[debster]

Thanks Tutti!

While you're there...can you find out if any sort of test is done first to make sure that you don't have an allergic reaction to whatever it is? The only reason I ask is that my sister in law had wanted to get the permanent eyeliner (which is something I had done already) and the lady who did it does a scratch test first to see if you have a reaction to the vegetable dye. I had none. The little scratch test done on my sister in law landed her in the hospital. She has a terrible reaction to it and it came on slow and progressed to something quite awful. That's one of my biggest worries! Thanks Tutti! Keep me posted! Would love to hear about your experience!

[tutti]

Sure, Deb, I'll let you know how it goes. Want to go with me? It's on Watt Ave by Kings Way. I wish it was tomorrow! I hate waiting for asnything lol.

[debster]

Tutti...are you going to Topoli? What time is your appointment?

[tutti]

Deb

Thats the place. Wed 7/28 11am

[debster]

darn...i can't get out of work that day. i just tried. keep me posted tutti. i sure wish i could go with you to check it out!

[tutti]

LMAO....I already had my 'story' worked out...."this is my sister and she's here to be my 2nd set of ears in case I miss anything or forget to ask something" lol oh, well,maybe another time. I'll keep you posted.

[debster]

Thanks Tutti! I'll be waiting for your post on 7/28!

[debster]

Tutti....how are you doing?

Tutti,

I'm anxiously waiting to hear your results from Dr. Schorr. How did it go? I may schedule with him if your results are good. E-mail me if you want.

[justinsbride]

Hi people in sacramento i went to Dr.schoor last wednesday and got the injections no results so far i am getting my thigh done for cellulite and fat loss. when i went in there i thought that i would be getting my whole thigh done but come to find out it is 900 for your back and another for the front. kind of crazy. so far bruising and soreness and the shots hurt me. anyways want to talk to anyone else who has seen results with him. thanks

[Karen D]

That's interesting that he charges separately for front, back, etc. I have an appointment scheduled at Fox Avenue Salon in Burlingame with him in a couple weeks. I just want one place done, inner thighs, so I know the cost will only be $900.

But I do hope for results in 4 visits. Tammy, his assistant (?) said you can lost a half-inch per session. But everybody is different. In all fairness, you really have to give it a few times for anything to expect results.

I'm doing this in lieu of liposuction. I'm terrified of surgery. I'm very motivated.

Please let us all know what your results turn out to be. You did measure yourself before you started?

Karen D

[Karen D]

Anybody else have experience with Dr. Schorr?

Thanks,

[tutti]

Ok gang, here's my meso experience with Dr Schorr.

I finally went to see him. As you know, I was very skeptical
because of the lack of info anywhere about him. I also thougt
it very odd that he hopped from salon to salon. So when I
went to see him, I guess I was pretty much in a I-Want-to-get-
to-the-bottom-of-this mode. I had a list of questions I was
going to grill him with. Well, I forgot the damn list at home
so I had to wing it.

I went to Topoli's Salon on Watt Ave by Country Club Bowl and
met with him 2 weeks ago. I planned on this being a
consultation only, I needed answers. I was not about to let
anyone stick me with anything until I felt 100% comfortable.

I asked about his training, and what in the hell was up with
this salon hopping thing? Why didnt he have an office like
normal doctors? He does have an office in Patterson, which
isnt a very big town outside of Modesto, which isnt that huge
either. He is a plain MD. He realized that this meso thing
was going to catch on and explode and he wanted a part of it.
(that last part was what I surmised, he didnt say that) There
want much of a call or curiosity for the procedure in
Modesto, which is more of a hick town than Sac, so he decided
he could commute to sac and 2 other bay area locations a
couple days a week and still maintain his practice in
Patterson.

I asked him in depth about the '************tail' He showed me each
ingredient and explained to my satisfaction what each one
did, and why it was chosen. I asked him about any side
effects, like those brown spots that sunnie still has. He has
not seen anyside effects since he has been doing this (since
Nov). Bruising and swelling are to be expected, but they go
away.

I asked him if he had any pics of HIS patients, not any of
the canned pics that appear all over the net. (I see the same
photos at different docs websites and I am positive that lady
did not have Lipo or a face lift THAT MANY TIMES! lol) He
doesnt have any pics, however the manager of the salon,
Maggie, had him do her neck and she is thrilled with the
results. There is another person that works there that had
him do her, but she was off. I believed him.

I felt comfortable enough to go ahead with the treatment. I
wanted my inner thighs and those inside knee things done (1
araa) my belly/lower abs (1 area) those things on your hips
on the side/back area above your butt and below your waist (1
area) and my nurdles...those pesky things between your armpit
and your bra strap. they pooch out when your arm is down.
(1area) Altogether 4 areas. cost was 900 for 1st area and 600
for each addtl area. $2700 total. Yikes this better work! :(

Maggie put numbing cream on the areas (thier cream) and he
went to work. Oh, BTW, I took 2 vicodins before I went....I
hate pain. I felt a couple of the pokes on my inner thighs
and up on my nurdles. Nothing too bad or unbearable tho.

WHen I got home, there was a real dark bruise on one of my
nurdles and a couple of medium bruises on my knees. Light
bruises everywhere else. And I was swollen already. I wore a
long loose dress to the appointment so it would be easy off
and wouldnt be tight on anypart. Good idea. I was also kind
of 'sore' like I had done a million situps or something,
which, I assure you, I didnt do. The bruises went away over
the next few days, but I was still swollen by the time for my
next appt. (1 week later) He is in Sac on weds so I had 4
weds scheduled the first appt.

2nd appt. I didnt take any vicodin. Mistake. Again, Maggie
applied the numbing cream and he went to work. It hurt this
time. note to self: take the vicodin next week. A couple of
the pokes said "OW!" I swelled up good this time. My thighs
were squishing together as I imagine a real fat persons do.
uncomfortable to say the least. I was also more sore. Not any
dark bruises, just light. But really swollen. I am still
swollen. This is normal. I cant tell if its working because
of the swelling. I AM going to get results from this if I
have to camp on his doorstep! I have a feeling he knows this,
too from my attack mode on the first appt.

On my first visit, I mentioned this board and told him that
there were several ladies in the area that were interested,
but hesitant due to the lack of info about him and that they
were awaiting my report of my visit, to make their decisions.
thats when I grilled him about his training etc.


3rd visit I am still swollen from last visit so I dont know if I have results. I'm beginning to have doubts about his methods. I looked, again, on the net for the difference between Mesotherapy and Lipodissolve. Damn! I'm sure he is doing the latter and probably doesnt even know the difference. His lack of experience and apparent rush to get thru the appointment so he can get on the road to the bay area is irritating me. I havent said anything because I'm not sure if that is what is bothering me or the lack of results or the swelling. I briefly said something about not seeing results yet and this time he dosed me up good. Well, I dont know if 'good' is a good term, I swelled up to about the size of Alaska! and itched like a mad fool.

4th and ??? final visit

Again he dosed me up pretty good. He was really running late and wanted to get going, and I wasnt in a mood to talk to him anyway. I'm pissed off that I havent seen any shrinkage. He hasnt seen the end of me. I am going to get some results if he has to 'do me' for the rest of his life!

I went home and emailed him about how disappointed I was and that for $2700 I EXPECTED to see something. I sort of suggested that he plan on seeing me until I am satisfied. (in a nice way :)

He emailed me back after 4-5 days and told me that he would do 4 more treatments on all of the areas, this time he would measure me. Doh!!! I told him the first week he should be taking pics AND measuring each patient! If not for them, for his records. Sheesh! I wish I would have flown to Texas and seen Dr Conner!

Anyway, I went for my 5th, count em, FIVE, treatment on Sept 1. This is the beginning of the free treatment he is doing. He took about 3 pictures: one of my belly, one of my side (?) and one of what looked like, my feet! Oh my. He forgot to bring his numbing cream. They gave me some lukewarm gel icepack things to 'numb' the areas. Ha! Every shot hurt like hell! Seriously hurt. He was really giving me a lot! I was crying by the time I left. Of course, the vicodin kicked in AFTER he was done and I was sore as hell. I got home and felt like crap! I ate something and could barely make it to my bed, I hurt so bad. I had major swelling and major pain. I could not get comfortable any which way. This went on all night and the whole next day. I couldnt go to work. I could hardly move, I hurt that bad. I tried icepacks on the fat, swollen, itcy areas and it helped for about 30 seconds. I was miserable. Friday, I was able to get around, but still sore and lots of swelling. THis is sucking more and more each time I go. I am thinking this is not how this should be. If I wasnt so sore, I'd kick myself for not going to someone who had more experience, and did Meso NOT lipodissolve.

Not only do I not see any shrinkage, I am super lumpy and cranky! Add to that, so confused about this whole process!


I have 3 appts left. Sorry I couldnt give you guys a more positive report but this is it. I'll keep you informed about the next 3 visits.

Hello! I found this site when I was trying to do research on Dr. Schorr. It has him listed as trained in either meso or lipotherapy. I didn't see this in the posts yet and thought this might be helpful. http://www.aestheticmd.com/imls.htm

Tutti - how is your progress?

I got my lips done by Dr. Schorr here in Mo-town and they look great. I am so pleased with the result. They feel great too. It's just perfect - my family says they look so natural that you'd never notice I had anything done unless you held up a "before" pic and analyzed it!

When I got my lips done, I met a girl who had the meso done by him, and she looked great. She said she'd only had it done twice so far, it was only mildly uncomfortable, and she was incredibly pleased with the results.

[tutti]

I truly dont know if I *see* results or not. I'm thinking...not. The swelling has finally subsided, but I still have the little spot that I originally went in for on my belly! Also, I definatley dont see any improvement on my nurdle things or inside thighs. Why isn't this working for me??? I am so disappointed. I really wanted to believe this worked but it's hard when I dont see any results. I go again for #7 next Wed 10/20. <sigh>

When I got my lips done...

You had your LIPS treated with Meso??? I thought people wanted fuller lips! Did you have exceptionally fat lips to begin with?

t

[looneytoon04]

Hi tutti,

Have you had the meso procedure with dr. Llorrente yet, Would you please tell me your experience. I just had the consultation with her today and she said i need about 3 treatments. Some other doctor said I need about 6 treatments. So I am really not sure...

Vivian

[tutti]

I didnt get the treatments with her. I flew down there to have them, but the night before, my cat bit my arm (he must have been having a REAL bad dream! lol) and by the time I got to her place, my arm was raging! She gave me a tetanus shot and sent me home~! THe next day I ended up in the hospital where I stayed for a week! Darn cat!

I never went back to see her.


OT that little cat bite/hospital bill was $22,000!!!!! thank god for insurance! 6 days in the hospital.

[Cal gal]

Sorry I have been off this forum since the summer.
Just wanted to followup with my treatment results. I went to Schorr for 4 visits for the back of my legs a few months ago. Been exercising lots. Sadly, the results are nothing to write home about. If I really use my imagination, I might say there was a slight improvement. But even that might be a stretch. I did talk to his office though and they are going to have me come in again. I'm not sure what they will offer to do, but will let you know after I see them in early Dec.

[groovychick]

Sorry I forgot to come back until I got an email reminding me! I'm planning my wedding right now - 18 days left! And it's overseas and I am pulling my hair out. Anyway, I have some interesting stuff to share. I decided to cancel my appt. with Dr. Schorr and research a little more first. So I payed a visit to Dr. Bock in Stockton. I called the office and made an appointment. The girl I spoke with said that Dr. Boch just started doing meso, and he's not officially offering it yet, but he's tried it out on a bunch of the girls in the office, and you could really see a difference.

When I met with Dr. Boch, the tune was not so promising. He said that he attended this conference and saw a bunch of different doctors speak on mesotherapy, and some were more convincing than others. And the results of his own trial run in the office were, well, controversial. When he tried it out on the women in the office, he did only one leg, or one side (or arm or whatever area, depending on the person) so he could make a direct comparison. He said (I'm paraphrasing- my visit was about a month ago) you could notice a difference in the contour, and in the cellulite, but no significant weight or size reduction. He thinks the treatment would be best offered in conjunction with traditional plastic surgery procedures to really smooth out and refine any rough spots. I found Dr. Boch's name from the same mesotherapy training website that I found Dr. Shorr's on. (I think I posted it earlier.) So a logical assumption would be that they have access to the same knowledge and would probably be administering the same treatments in the same manner. And if Dr. Boch thought the results were not really that great after trying it out on his staff, well, that says something. But then again, Dr. Boch also performs liposuction, so maybe he is used to seeing more dramatic results. And maybe he has another agenda and wants to promote his lipo procedure only... Well, whatever the case, I've given up hope on the procedure that sounded too good to be true.

Now the lipo-ultrasound machine that's going to be available sometime in 2006 sounds intriguing! (That's the one that's being developed in Tel Aviv and in Washington. If you haven't heard of it yet, do a web search on it! Very interesting stuff.)

Ciao for now!

PS I did not get my lips meso-ed! I got them enhanced!:p

[Cal gal]

Thanks for the info, groovychick.

I am interested in eliminating the cellulite dimples; I not looking for size reduction thru meso. Based on your conversation with Dr Boch, do you think he have thought I'd have improvements?

[groovychick]

My conversation w/ Dr. Boch about meso was mostly in regards to my saddle bags - double ACK! I don't have too much cellulite - I mean, what I do have doesn't bother me that much because it's usually shadowed by my generous rump ;) He didn't really rave about meso so I don't know how well he thinks it works. He did say for example, if a lipo job came out a little bumpy in a small area he'd use meso to smooth it out. And said also that he noticed the difference in cellulite in the office staff. So it's definitely worth giving him a call.

However, he suggested that I maybe consider a butt-lift YIKES! Which I thought would look really wierd on my body (I like my butt - it's a little big, but it's not saggy!!) so I wouldn't necessarily reccommend him to others, just because his vision didn't match mine, you know? He seemed to really know his stuff though, and he'll be really frank, upfront and honest with you.

P.S. I got a facial at Salon DeVille here in Modesto yesterday and Dr. Schorr is operating out of there now too. Sheesh this guy really gets around!! Anyway, they said there've been loads of women coming in for meso. So you might want to check with the Salon, maybe they would even put you in touch with some of the other women Dr. Schorr has seen.

One more thing: Dr. Boch gave me the impression that the jury is still out on how long the meso actually lasts.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say that Doctor Schorr was my primary doctor before I got pregnant, even then he was getting into the botox and peels and was not longer seeing pregnant women. He is very nice, he has an office here in Patterson California it is very small only has 3-4 rooms. I talked to him before he referred me to a different doctor and he told me he was starting to get into the facial type of procedures. I trust him and will be going to get some botox and what ever else he can do for me since I am here in Patterson too. Good luck all
:p

I hadn't heard about Mesotherapy until very recently. I'm young and healthy, but genetically the women in my family have a big lower body. I've always wanted liposuction. I recently had a friend who went in for a Mesotherapy session in Roseville, Ca with Dr. Barbara Ringwald. Her results have been Phenomenal. She lost 3 inches on her saddle bags and 3 inches on her abdomen after 3 sessions for each area. She had very little down time and went to work the next day. I've been researching this procedure, and the more i read about it the more i'm glad i haven't had liposuction! I read about a lady who had liposuction done on her thighs, she needs a fat transplant now because she has deep holes and lumpiness in her body! eeek!!
I'm super excited about going in for my own sessions!!
I'll keep you guys posted!!
