Don't try Lipodissolve

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: I'm overweight, can I still have Lipodissolve?

I am interested in Lipodissolve but I am overweight and wondering if I can have Lipodissolve for localized areas only? I am aware it's not a weight-loss solution.

Even if you weren't overweight, I wouldn't recommend Lipodissolve. The studies on this aren't in to determine if it is safe or effective. Wait til then and try a better diet and exercise program for now.

A: Lipodissolve probably not a great choice for you

It's difficult to comment too much without first examining you, but in general invasive treatments of any kind, even lipodissolve, are probably not the best answer if you're overweight. Diet and exercise work best to get you closer to your goal weight, size and shape, and surgery or other interventions may then be an option. But I would not waste your money on a procedure at this point as it may not give you much of an improvement.
