Upset Stomach After LipoDissolve

I Had Lipodissolve on my Inner Thighs. After I Got Home I Felt Queasy. I Had a Small Piece of Bread. Within an Hour, I Had dinner. Almost immediately after I felt dizzy and faint. I proceeded to throw up until my stomach was empty. Then I was exhausted. Please give me your comments. This was the first of four treatments.

A: Lipodissolve Beware

Lipodissolve is a procedure where a medicine that kills fat cells is injected into the skin. The problems that come from its use are Uneven dissolving giving lumpy, bumpy results, It is painful and if too much is injected it can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea for 24-48 hours. It is not a substitute for Liposuction. I find it useful after Liposuction when  there may be a small (less tha1 inch diameter) are of fat  left behind after traditional Liposuction to smooth out the area. When Large areas are done eg. Upper and Lower abdomen with Lipodissolve, it takes multiple( 3-5 treatments over many months) to obtain results as opposed to immediate results and the ability to return to work in 3 days and to full aerobic activity in 3 weeks or less after Vaser Liposuction under Local Anesthetic.
