I had two treatments at Advanced LipoDissolve aka fig that caused severe pain and bad reactions. So much so that I went back each time and had the nurses look at the injection sites and talk to them about what was going on. They did not seem concerned but the pain and reaction continued. Moreover, I was not seeing any results. Therefore, I stopped treatment and contacted them. To date, I have dealt w/ their headquarters staff to try to get my money back. This is been an unpleasant experience and I have not seen any money yet. I (mistakenly) thought a money back guarantee meant just that. However, it does not. Shame on me for not reading the fine print; shame on them for not living up to their advertised guarantee. My advice to all considering it – ask many questions and read all you can get your hands on about the procedure and the organization providing it. You might be surprised.
Great review?

I just saw a new article that lipodissolve was totally banned in Kansas City, only to be utilized for drug trials by doctors. There were complaints filed to the Board of Healing Arts in Kansas City. This is scary that is being banned now, wondering if this is going to be the beginning of it being banned everywhere? What would these facilities had to defend why it was banned? I'm sure they will have some good excuse! Read the article for yourself www.kansas.com! I'm sure they're not telling about this.

I started with one area for my first treatment. The second treatment I did 3 areas. I am seeing some results (although minor) but realize that they do say that it sometimes takes until the 4th time before results are seen. Also, remember that that would be 4th time on the same area. If you are doing several areas it could take a long time. When I did 3 areas (upper, lower abs, and love handles) in one visit, I swelled and bruised too much, so I decided to slow it down. Some can handle 3 areas at one time, but I did not like swelling when I have to wear my work clothes. Abs seem to swell a lot and are harder to hide, so I decided to take it slower and do just one area at each visit and to time them 4 weeks apart. This works better for my lifestyle. But, if I COULD hide for a week after doing 3 areas, I would just do it fast. If you have to manage the swelling, pain , and bruising for whatever reason (social, pain tolerance, or other), just do one area with longer intervals between them. It takes longer, but a slower slimming would be easier to pass off as "dieting" to the rest of the world. Good luck... just had the lower abs, I think one area is more manageable for me since I am not telling anyone until the results are in...then I will confide in some selected friends who might be interested, but I will never tell everyone in my life, especially at work. From talking to other patients at fig, many are very happy with the results. ...just slow it down if you are having trouble with the side effects.

I had my first Lipo Dissolve treatment on Tuesday, July 17th. I am having the treatment on my upper and lower abdomen. My stomach began to swell immediately after the first treatment and the skin also turned red, like a sunburn. There was no pain involved in this treatment. I don't understand why some people are having terrible pain. Most of the swelling has gone down now and it won't be a week until tomorrow. I am feeling very good and I can already feel a difference in the way my pants fit me. The facility where I had my treatment was Willowbend Cosmetic Surgery in Plano, Texas and I am very pleased with the ladies that are taking care of me. I have spoken to them twice since my treatment because they call to ask how I am doing. I am eagerly awaiting my second treatment and looking forward to having the full six. I can't wait to see what a difference it is going to make in my body.
