Lipodissolve complaints

Hey all, I've been getting lipodissolve every 2-3 weeks and have my final 6th treatment this coming saturday. I am kinda worried now after reading all these negative posts. I have lots of little marble sized lumps all over my treatment areas (inner thighs). I also am a little disscolored to my inner thighs, they seems darker in tone. I really hope all this eventually goes away. I have however, lost about 2 inches to each thigh after starting this. If my discoloration and lumps don't resolve than I would NOT recommend it.

I started my treatments last Thursday at a plastic surgeons office. The shots were bareable, the pain for the next hour was uncomfortable and then the overall pain for the next 24 hours was really uncomfortable (thank goodness I had a girdle) but the pain was never bad enough that I couldn't do anything. I went to a 2 hour hair appt and took my daughter to a b/day party. When I woke up Saturday, the swelling was gone and I no longer needed the girdle. Sunday, even better. Now here it is Tuesday, the only bruise I got was one small dime size one and I can barely feel the nodule there otherwise, I don't feel any nodules. Does this mean it's not working? Thanks, sarthur

I have been trying to get my "guaranteed results refund" since January 2007. I started treatment in July 2006 at the Chesterfield,Missouri locations. My treatements were unbearable, much discomfort, discoloring, and pain. I suffered through 12 treatments, was charged $6,000.00, lost 7 pounds and gained more than 3 inches in admoninal area, I look worse than when I started. No results and $6,000 later I have gotten nothing but the run around from the folks at Advanced LipoDisolve a.k.a fig. I am intersted in being a part of a class action lawsuit. My name is Jo Ann Pluff, I can be reached awt 618-558-4430 or jmoore@htc.net. I have written numerous letters and have documentation. Please contact me if you are interested in banning together to make Advance LipoDisolve live up to their advertising promises.

I am considering work on my face - has anyone used lipodissolve for jowls? My neck is fine, I think the rest of my body is reasonable - the jowls are really genetic and I want to get rid of them.

I went through the entire process and it did NOTHING! I actually gained inches in the areas I was supposed to be losing in! I ran 1 1/2 miles 4-5 times a week, watched what I ate (still do both of those things) and my "trouble spots" are no different now than they were when I started. I read one article that said it just moves the fat around in the body and redistributes it; makes me wonder if that is why I was suddenly diagnosed with extremely high cholesterol even though I eat nothing fried and I am very careful about my diet and cholesterol intake. When I went in for my re-evaluation since I am taking them up on their 100% guarantee, they wouldn't allow me to see what I taped out at and then I was recently told it was reported I lost a total of 3 inches. What they don't know is that my doctor was taping me throughout my sessions and I lost nothing but I did gain 1.4 inches on my bra line and 2.6 inches on my hips...NO LOSS. I would love to know who is suing them and if I can't find out I will be suing them myself. They reported falsely in my medical file and now they expect me to pay them for making me 3+ inches bigger and I believe caused my high cholesterol. It was painful and in the end simply NOT worth it at all.

Lipodissolve TREATMENT 1 BLOG I was very excited and nervous. mmmm.... OUCH! the do like 40+ injections in the area you want to reduce. they hurt. I am not quite sure how i thought needles wouldn't hurt? Anyway... after breathing through the injections i thought ok! FEEW worst is over! well.. LOL they had warned about bruising and swelling but i had NO idea! that night my stomach looked like i was 6 months pregnant. it was HOT and stingy. I couldn't bend well and just had to lay there. The next day (not expecting this) i had to go to work. I felt like i had been hit with a shovel in the abs. Hard to walk fast. and still had to wear stretchy pants. But it had gone down to like 3 times its normal size at this point. And feels like its filled with warm hard goop like silly putty or something. Its now been 3 days. Its down to like twice the normal size. If nothing else this will make me appreciate my normal figure! Its 4 weeks in between treatments. So we will see. Right now my mind is split on if i can take that again. Its kind of disturbing. And i just keep thinking what if it DOESN'T go down!!??? Apparently the fact that i am getting so much swelling is good... something about my body producing a lot of collagen? And that it means its working faster than for most people... so. I am hopeful. but i HAVE to find some pain killers for next time.Its brutal! Well? its been a few weeks now. the area is still sore. but the lumps under my skin have changed from feeling big and almost rope like to being pea sized and a have weird sharp feelings like there is some one inside of me with a thumb tack occasionally going "poke poke". But thats what they say its supposed to do ..soooo.... TREATMENT 2 BLOG (6 weeks between treatments)just before the treatment I could see a ever so slight difference. Which I am told is unusual. But I am fairly small. 5'3" 125lbs. Still a little sore but not bad. My 2nd treatment wasn't nearly as bad. I took a pain killer before I went. I took a Tylonol when i got there and am taking Arnica (montana 30x) from the healthfood store for bruising and soreness. They now have this freeze spray that they use on your skin right before the injections which numbs you a bit. Not totally unfortunately. But it did help. Also the tech went much faster this time. (getting in out and over with is good!). The day after i was still pretty sore. Hard to bend. And still very swollen. But not QUITE as much as last time. The bruising i think is more severe this time. I look like i was attacked by a rabid paint ball gun with a vendetta. And once again my stomach feels like its filled with heavy silly putty. (very weird). So i am in the big pants and cant wear my normal clothes. But at least this time, i know it will go down. I am not freaking out, and I know the eventual outcome will make me very happy. Amazing what we will endure in the name of vanity isn't it? *1 week after the 2nd treatment bruising totally gone. (sore though)

Firstly Lipo Dissolve is NOT FDA approved. It is a concoction of several medications including a cancer treatment med. It is mixed by different people so it is not always the same content of medication. The ingredients used in lipo-dissolve may vary depending on the doctor and the area being treated. The ingredients may include phosphatidyl choline, multivitamins, alpha lipid acid, enzymes, and plant extracts. Ingredients may also include chemical agents such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, antibiotics, and hormones. Seems to me no Dr. can promise results when they can't be sure what or how the concoction is being mixed and it's content are variable

I was concidering Lipo Dissolve at one point, until I read what the FDA had to say and the artilcles posted from the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. Here is a link to one of them: If you are considering it, please seak information from a reliable source.

Hello, I am 5'3" and 110 lbs and wear a size 0. I run 5-6 miles/4 times a week. I am 34 and I had one child 3 years ago. I work out constantly and have been obsessed with my cellulite since my 20s. I eat a strict diet and always have since I was born - raised by a healthy mother, I eat only healthy fats as rarely as I need to keep healthy, salmon, avocados, and almonds or NO fat at all. I drink so much water you'd never keep up. I've done it all. I was a gymnast from a small child until 20. My cellulite runs from the back of my bum to my knees. My husband teases me all of the time for my 1/8 inch deposits of obvious cellulite (so little fat!) It honestly is disgusting. I work out so much my muscles are well defined with the two large spots of cellulite on my thighs. Even my stomach is well fit for now. Either I need to try something like Lipo Dissolve or just give up working out. Lipo Dissolve seems like something that would work for me, but very few people on this forum are saying what they were like originally. This seems perfect for me. I can't figure out who is working for the Liposuction companies feeding this forum or who is from Lipo Dissolve. Any ideas of other places to get information? And I go to Bangkok next month for a few weeks, plastic surgery capital, we've had some of our best health care treatments there (much better than the U.S.!!) Should I pursue anyplace in Bangkok for this treatment? Love to see your opinions..

I recently had the procedure done at a fig location. Suprisingly, enough I had little to no side effects. The area stung for a few hours, but after that I was fine. I wasn't in a lot of pain, nor did I have any downtime. However, now I am concerned. I just found out I am (unexpectantly) pregnant and I am extremely worried about the side effects it may have on my unborn. I've been trying to locate the side effects to see how long the medication stays in your system. I have one child that is disable and I do not want to put myself knowingly in the same situation. Does anyone know how long it takes to get out your system? I called the fig office, and I am just not to confident with what they told me. Afterall, they are in the business to sell.
