Do not get Lipodissolve during pregnancy!

Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD answers: Safe to get Lipodissolve while pregnant?

I'm in my first trimester and I wanted to get Lipodissolve to slim down my thighs.  Is this OK to do?  Is it safe to have Lipodissolve if you're pregnant?

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 ingredients of that chemical cocktail have not been FDA-approved. Therefore, we have no studies demonstrating how the injection affects our organs. So far, the Lipodissolve is still experimental and has not been FDA approved. It should not be used in pregnant women or nursing mothers.

A: No Lipodissolve during pregnancy

I generally recommend avoiding any unnecessary medications or chemicals during pregnancy, but I especially would not recommend Lipodissolve, in that it is not FDA approved.

Eat well and stay active as directed by your obstetrician. Enjoy your pregnancy and worry about your thighs after the birth of your beautiful girl or boy.
