What is Lipodissolve? Is It FDA Approved?

Can you please explain to me what exactly Lipodissolve is? Also, is it safe or approved by the FDA yet? Thank you.

A: Lipodissolve is mesotherapy

Lipodissolve is technically mesotherapy injections. These injections are done to treat fat and adipose tissue in specific areas - like a "muffin top", or "saddle bags" or neck, or abdomen, or other places that hold excessive fat. There are many, many mesotherapy "cocktails" on the market, but only few are proven to work. In my office I use either phosphatidile choline (PTC) or deoxycholate.

Does This Amount of Swelling Look Normal After Lipodissolve? (photo)

Why do they call this a "lunchtime" procedure if you are so swollen you cannot go out for a few days without people saying "WHAT the HECK happened to your face?"

A: Swelling from Lipdissolve

No, this is absolutely NOT a normal amount of swelling at all. You need to return to the injector for an evaluation. I have injected mesotherapy/lipodissolve for years and have never seen anything like this. I think you are having a severe reaction to something in the lipodissolve or a possible other infection. You need to be evaluated asap by a physician.

Can Lipodissolve Be Combined with Liposuction?

I want to get rid of stomach rolls. The doctor offers liposuction + lipodissolve. this ok/safe?

A: Lipodissolve can be combined with other fat reduction procedures

Yes, all types of liposuction (laser, ultrasonic etc.) can be used in conjunction with lipodissolve. Lipodissolve is not a very powerful treatment for fat loss, so usually it is best reserved for small areas of residual fat after formal liposuction. I typically use it if a patient has had liposuction but needs a minor touch-up if there is still a small amount of unwanted fat present.
