Currently, the injection of material to dissolve fat tissue (commonly called LipoDissolve) is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The Coalition for Injectable Safety as well as the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is very interested in evaluating this product for safety and effectiveness; it is our hope that there is a role for this product in the treatment of unwanted fat.
Given the interest and concern for the use of such products, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is supporting the trial investigation for lipo dissolve. This study will take place in St. Louis, under the guidance of Dr. Leroy Young.
It would be my recommendation that you contact Dr. Young, consult the Coalition for Injectable Safety or consult ASAPS for details on how to get involved with the study. However, we cannot support the use of a LipoDissolve outside an approved clinical trial, without U.S. FDA approval.
