Wait until after pregnancy for any procedure

Hisham Seify, 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?

First, I would not use any substance that might cause any harm during pregnancy. The other important factor is, why would you try to have any procedure during pregancy? As you well know, you will gain some weight during this time. I would wait after delivery and losing all the weight for any future procedures.

A: Avoid non FDA approved medications

Sanjay Grover, MD

You should avoid non FDA approved medications such as Lipodissolve. This is not a well-studied product. There are currently some research projects being performed by The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery to further evaluate medications used for Mesotherapy. For now, you should avoid it.
