“Lipodissolve Disaster - Just a Few Pounds to Lose”

How long after the procedure was the after photo taken? Is this the final result or will there be more improvement?

that is call poor sking quality is due to lack of nutrients in your diet not cause by the product it self I have use the product for over a year and I dont have any hole

gab - i am not sure how you can make such a huge judgment without even knowing Jean. You don't know anything about the quality of her skin or the amount of nutrients in her diet. Just because lipodissolve works for you, does not mean that it works for everyone. For the people that it does not work for, I don't think it is very nice or very constructive to blame it them. ALL procedures have side effects. You are just lucky that they did not happen to you. Your post is quite offensive actually.

Sorry! Jean for your experience. I tried it and it started to do the same thing to me! You might as well have smart lipo or traditional lipo and get better results. That's what I did! See my before and after pictures under "Liposuction"....Good luck!

Jean, there seems to be a variation in the ingredients in the solution different providers are using. That must be the reason you are left with this mess. I don't know if this will help, but it won't hurt. If you have not tried it, look on e-bay and get an ultrasound body massager, 1 MHz, along with a couple of bottles of the ultrasound gel. I got one for less than $60. If you do, use it and see if that will help disburse your dents and even you out. I just can't imagine what they put into you. I had my first LD yesterday, and what I see on me is exactly what was described in the dr's written material, and nothing like you have suffered. I am using an ultrasound massager on my own cause it sounded like a good idea. It does have a healing effect on tissue beneath the skin. I hope this helps and your situation improves very soon!

This has NOT been banned in Canada, I am living here and have had 5 treatment now, all with wonderful results. I guess I am lucky! I just jumped right in without researching, so far I have had nothing but great results though. I am sorry your experience was so awful though.

I am thinking about getting lipo dissolve soon just to get rid of the stubborn fat alittle worried.

i had the same results.jean mine looks just like your pictures. i had it done two years ago and have been living with it since im so depressed. it ruined my tummy. i am so scared to do anything to try to fix it. please if you have any advice let me know.

i so agree. how many treatments did you have? the girl that did mine said i only needed one treatment. i went back and showed it to the surgeon he said i needed to do more treatment. the girl said dont put anything tight on and no massaging for one week. i think thats opposite of what your suppose to do. that was last year im just scared to do anything.

In an effort to remove a stubborn pot belly and handles I gave LD a go. I am active sport wise and have little other fat of concern. I'm mid 40's. After the text book bruising, swelling and soreness, all returned to normal. I was advised that improvements would continue over 3-6 months. NOTHING! Not a change. Around 12 months later went back to the (Melbourne) Dr for appraisal. He seemed surprised and provided a second round at no charge. Very good of him I thought. Now around 12 months after that second round, NOTHING, no improvment. Save your money, don't bother.

Those aren't pot marks. You've lost fat but your quantity of skin has remained the same. That is simply your loose skin hanging.

I also have the same problem in my stomach.. I had lipo dissolve done over 2 years ago and always had a great stomach, I now cannot wear a bathing suit and have ruined my stomach. I am very depressed as well.. Is there any treatments or procedures that can be done to correct this?

No!! Don't pay attention to DoItYourSelfer! I ordered pharmaceutical grade lipodissolve direct from Germany to use on my inner thights and DID it myself, and I wish I hadn't. I even bought an ultrasound vibrator to use to disperse the injections evenly. My results were basically the same. The fat was diminished, but my skin did not tighten up AT ALL. I have less fat but really horrible hanging wrinkly skin more than I had before. My inner thighs used to look 50, now they look 65 (and I am only 53). I wish to heck I had left well enough alone. I had to stop wearing bathing suits completely. When I go to the pool to swim, I have wear a trisuit that covers me to my knees. Stay away from this stuff!

Lipodissolve did not work for me. I had 6 treatments and did not see any improvement. I am getting regular liposuction done next month,should have just done that to begin with.

I'm not sure if it's politically correct, but after having two treatments myself with NO improvement, I'm wondering where you had yours done?

Turns out that the substance injected can cause excessive scar tissue under the skin. I have the same results as Jean.

I was wrong. The acetyl l-carnitine did seem to cause spot reduction but I got scar tissue in my stomach. If you experiment with any of this, do it on a small scale. For the people that lost fat but just had loose skin, that seems like a good result to me. This happens all the time to people that lose a lot of weight. You have to have surgery to remove the excess skin. The scar tissue is like a hard lump right under your skin. I would not recommend the acetyl l-carnitene suspension.

Try vasershape to fix it. My dr tells me she has lots of patients that use vasershape to fix lumps left from lipo and lipodis.
