Safe to get Lipodissolve while pregnant?

Lipodissolve is not FDA approved.  Nobody knows if it is safe for anybody yet - let alone a pregnant woman in her first trimester.  Realize that the first trimester is a critical time in the development of your child and you should do everything possible to protect and nurture that development. ... more

Lipodissolve or any other Mesotherapy is not FDA approved. These treatments use a mixture of drugs as an injection to try and dissolve fat. The mixture can vary and is not regulated by FDA.

I would strongly suggest avoiding any surgical and non-surgical procedures while pregnant. At any stage of the pregnancy, you want to make sure there is no harm done to your developing baby. Lipodissolve involves a series of medicated injections that melt away small pockets of unwanted fat. Many of the... more

Lipodissolve is done with chemicals and drugs that are not fully tested or proven. There are no standard recipe or formulation to the drugs that are used.

This is not a procedure you should even think about if you are pregnant. There is controversy about it. It is banned in some countries, and some malpractice insurers won't insure the doc that is doing it. Please do not do this if you are pregnant. The drugs used have not been tested in pregnant women.

There is not enough science behind lipodissolve to recommend it to even the non-pregnant patient.  We do not know what happens to the chemicals that are injected or the byproducts of the fat that is broken down.  The first trimester is a critical time in fetal development and is the most critical... more

There are very few procedures that are OK during pregnancy, and Lipososolve is not one of them. Any kind of liposuction is not ok during pregnancy since your body is going through a lot of changes. Lipodisolve is not accepted as a safe procedure at this time by board certified plastic surgeons.
