Lipodissolve for Losing Upper Cheek Volume?

I went to one surgeon and he suggested lipodissolve could be injected in upper cheek to lose volume proportionally as he takes injection on his all the time to maintain the contour of his face. I have really chunky upper cheek and I need other surgeon's advices to see if this option makes sense. Thanks

A: Do not do lipodissolve in the face.

I would urge extreme caution in using any of the mesotherapy agents and especially in the face. There are concerns with causing damage to nerves and vascular supply of the face and area around the eyes

Is Weight Loss Via Lipodissolve Dangerous?

I am 21 years old women with 156 cm (5'3") height and 57kg (132lbs) weight. I'm not too fat but my PEAR SHAPE body makes me have low self-confidence.

I have to try slimming pills (Adipex) before this and it's work. I lost about 8 kg. But after a few months, I gained my weight back. I tried to take the same pills but after 3 months of intake, it made me feel nervous, sweaty, nauseated and caused diarrhea. So I have to stop it.

I want fast result so I am thinking of doing Lipodissolve. Is this procedure dangerous? Does it pain?

A: Lipodissolve

This product is not approved for use in the USA. At it's best it would be useful for localized fatty deposits and attempting to achieve nearly an 8kg weight loss would, in my opinion, be unsafe and associated with a particularly high rate of irregularities and the potential for numerous other complications.
