Controversial topic

This is a great question that will create a lot of different opinions. LipoDissolve is a procedure where a chemical substance is injected into fat pockets that could lead to dissolving them.

These are few observation regarding this controversial topic:

1-It is not FDA approved (most board cetified plastic surgeons will not perfom it)

2-Most patients that i have seen so far were not very happy with lipodissolve due to the slim results and the need for multiple injections.

3-It works on very small areas with very small fat pockets( when liposuction is not indicated) I can see some indications for localised areas like the chin.

4-Liposuction has better control on larger areas( all types of lipo included)

5-Like all procedures the key is the user but there is always a limitation for any modality we use.

For your specific need i see clearly that liposuction will give you a better result on the long term. Hope that help!

I would not recommend lipodissolve as for the reasons mentioned above.  I have seen many patients in my practice who have attempted the procedure and have been very unhappy with the results.  All they were left with was some skin redness and bruising.

When it comes to cosmetic procedures, I recommend keeping with procedures that are proven, safe and work.

Hope that helps.
