Weight gain after any cosmetic procedure possible

Tom J. Pousti, MD answers: Weight gain possible after LipoDissolve?

I know someone that has gained over 100 lbs after LipoDissolve and cannot find any reason for the weight gain. Has ANYONE had this problem and if so what options do they have?

Weight gain is possible after any cosmetic procedure but that is caused by the patient not exercising and increasing their caloric intake. There is something else going on with a person who gains 100 pounds. Please have them check with their doctor.

A: 100 lbs gain within short period is a reason for concern

First one must know what the mixture is that is injected to dissolve fat. Mesotherapy, including Lipodissolve, is not FDA approved. The solution is a mixture of drugs that could vary greatly.

The gain of 100 lbs in a short time frame is a reason for concern. I would suggest seeing a physician.
