I have read many of the posted comments and realize NOBODY seems to know how much PPC-based solution they are having INJECTED? My understanding is that 2500mg per day is maximum, however I have read that some Doctors maybe using 4000mgs per day. Does anybody know what is being INJECTED? PPC-based solution or Lipostabil: PCDC? If matters GREATLY if the bad, painful, awful experiences as in swelling, bruising, are a result of MEGA dosages. I know some instructions are to administer 250mg per session / per week. The experience would seem to be different if 2500 to 4000mg of solution was injeted per session? Anyone know how much per session is being administered? dR

Be wary of getting any injectables. Ask questions and do your research. Don't be a guinea pig! Lipodissolve in particular has been so controversial that Canada and Brazil have banned it. Just read some of the comments from people regarding the pain and suffering they went through to feel more "beautiful". It seems very misleading by the doctors who perform these injectables that this is a easy thing, non-invasive, etc. In my opinion, anytime you stick a needle in someone is invasive. Add a "cocktail" mixture of various chemicals and you have got a recipe for trouble. I know several people personally who had horrific experiences with injectables and a few who have had the Lipodissolve procedure done. They regret ever doing it. Not worth the money or the pain. Ask questions before getting any procedure done. It makes little sense to not fully explore other ways to burn fat and re-shape your body- naturally. The internet can give you so many other options regarding body modification programs and alternatives to injectables. Do your research!

Yesterday I had lipodissolve on my double chin and my left love handle (I have more fat on this side). The treated regions are swollen and ache like a bee sting. My double chin got big and sagging after the injections. I went to one of the best injectable doctors in the Netherlands. I already had restylane injections with her.

I had mesotherapy about four years ago. I was told that it would be a pain-free way to melt the 5 excess inches around my abdomen. When the RN was injecting me, I started feeling intense pain. I told her to stop and she replied that it would be over in a few seconds. On the way back to my house, I had to stop the car because my abdomen was hurting so much I could barely breathe. When I got home, my stomach was already purple in color and twice its normal size. I called the medi-spa and told them of my condition. The RN said it was a normal side effect and would go away within 24 hours. I could not sleep that night because I felt like I had been in a terrible car accident. The pain was so intense. After 24 hours, I called and left a message and the RN never called me back. It took about three weeks for the bruising to subside and the pain to go away. A few years later, I had liposuction and my surgeon told me that having the mesotherapy made my fat "dense" and very difficult to suck out with the cannula. He had the most difficult time around my bellybutton. I had to wait 6 months to get a revision liposuction by him to correct all the mesotherapy damage. Already mesotherapy has been banned in two states and I am hoping eventually it will be banned everywhere!
