When is a good time to get Lipodissolve?

i am trying to get the differences btw lipo suction and lipo dissolve. is there something I should be aware of that makes one procedure than the other? I'm 150lbs, 45 y.o, and want to get rid of my banana roll.

LipoDissolve is an excellent treatment modality for patients who have unwanted adipose (fat) tissue that they can readily identify. I tell patients if there is a specific area of unwanted fat that they can point to and say "I wish this would disappear" - that is exactly what LipoDissolve is designed to do. LipoDissolve is not a replacement for healthy eating or exercise, and patients who want general or overall weight reduction are not good candidates.

I tell patients that LipoDissolve is great for:

  • That stubborn little tummy fat under the bellybutton that many women get after childbirth
  • Flanks (love handles) in both men and women
  • "Bra fat," those bulges that protrude above and below the bra
  • Upper outer thighs commonly referred to as saddlebags and inner thighs
  • I also like to treat double chins with LipoDissolve

In my experience, it is not a great treatment for unwanted fat in the upper arms or under the eyes.
