Dr. John Mesa is uniquely known for safely and comfortably doing 100% of his procedures, including face and neck lifts, under local anesthesia. He has mastered a technique for numbing facial nerves to eliminate the risks surrounding general anesthesia and relieve people of the anxiety of “going to sleep.”

Originally from Colombia, Dr. Mesa worked hard to get to where he is today in the US plastic surgery industry. With 18 years of training and three fellowships under his belt, he followed his passion for making the face as beautiful as possible.

With approximately 50% of his practice being buccal fat removal, Dr. Mesa prides himself in recommending the treatment only to patients with the right bone structure to avoid the “over hollow” look like the one famously taking over Hollywood.

Dr. Mesa has dedicated a generous amount of time to the further advancement of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. He spent six years writing a textbook on facial reconstruction and did five years of research at Harvard creating cartilage grafts through injections.

Dr. Mesa sees patients in New York, New Jersey, and Miami.

ABOUT MEET THE DOCTOR

The purpose of the Meet the Doctor podcast is simple. We want you to get to know your doctor before meeting them in person because you’re making a life changing decision and time is scarce. The more you can learn about who your doctor is before you meet them, the better that first meeting will be.

When you head into an important appointment more informed and better educated, you are able to have a richer, more specific conversation about the procedures and treatments you’re interested in. There’s no substitute for an in-person appointment, but we hope this comes close.

Meet The Doctor is a production of The Axis.
Made with love in Austin, Texas.
