Lipodissolve for dissolving fatty tumors?

I have some fatty tumors and am wondering, would Lipodissolve dissolve them? I have a lot of them, all different sizes. These tumors are strating to bother me, and they are in my arms, sides, thighs, and stomach. They seem to be self-contained tumors. Thank you for answering.

I would like to have lipodissolve performed for the tricep area. I have lost weight, but my arms are large and have batwings. This is a problem area for me and it is hereditary. About how much would it cost for both arms and is this a good procedure? Will the skin sag after fat removal? and What is the recovery time?

There are studies showing good response of superficial fatty lipomas with Lipodissolve. However before you consider it, you should be sure these are indeed lipomas, and not originating in different tissue. Please have a careful evaluation with your physician before you consider this treatment. Be aware that Lipodissolve is painful for many people, and surgical excision or laser liposuction may be preferrable choices. Lipodissolve is less expensive.
