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

Lipodissolve is not approved by the FDA for treatment of fat deposits. At this time, there is very little scientific research to determine its' effectiveness and safety. There are many unanswered questions, such as where do the fat byproducts go after they are dissolved. Even those who use it recommend it for small isolated fat deposits, not for weight loss. Lipodissolve for weight loss would be unpredictable and possbily quite dangerous.

Will Smart Lipo or Slim Lipo Get Through Scar Tissue from Lipodissolve?

I have had Lipodissolve and I'm worried that I may have scar tissue from the numerous injection sites. Does this mean that if I have Smart Lipo or Slim Lipo, it wont be able to get through all the scar tissue that Lipodissolve has caused? Thank you! 

A: Smartlipo Effective For Fat Removal After Lipodissolve Injections

Lipodissolve does leave behind some areas of scar as it gets rid of some fat. The amount of scar left behind from Lipodissolve is dependent on the concentration of solution used, the spacing of the injections, and how many injection sessions were done. Regardless of the amount of scar nodules present, Smartlipo can effectively go through them to break up the scar tissue and remove fat as well.
