“Lipodissolve was well worth it for me”
Lipodissolve: Worth it
Pain: Mild
First of all, everyone who chooses to have Lipodissolve done needs to select a board certified physician who is also certified to do Lipodissolve. Everyone should inquire to find out where the injection solution is coming from (make sure it's from the US if you are having it done here). Some of the statements I've read on this site tells me that this procedure has not been done by qualified physicians and/or the solution is not authentic. The physician who did my treatments is also a general medical physician and HE did every injection treatment--his staff nurse performed the ultrasounds. I am a 60 year old lady who had three children and a family history of flabby bellies. I have just finished treatment on my abdomen, 7 in all, (one per month) w/ultrasounds done every 2 weeks as well as immediately before each treatment to break up any nodules. Before each injection, an ice pack was placed on my abdomen for 5 to 10 minutes and I was offered tylenol and/or Benadryl, which I did take, and yes I did have my husband with me to do the driving. I still felt some very minor discomfort during the injections, but once they were done I went home and laid down for a couple of hours. I didn't ever have any ill side effects. My abdomen did swell as expected, was tender, and a couple of injection sites did minimally bruise following each treatment, but this subsided in a couple of days. I did not do any exercise other than walking 2 miles at least 4 days a week. I also decided to drink lots of water (at least 60 oz. daily)instead of the diet drinks I had been consuming. However, if I want to drink a diet coke I do, I just make sure I drink the water also. So this was definitely a good decision for me. My upper abdomen measured 36 inches before and is 31 1/2 inches today and, my lower abdomen measured 41 inches and is 36 1/2 inches after Lipodissolve.

WOW!!! Your results are amazing!! You look better than some of my friends who are teenagers! I've been hearing so many horror stories on this board about lipodissolve and I am terrified, but I have a tiny pouch of fat on my lower abs that I desperately want to get rid of. I am young and at a low body weight, so in theory I am the perfect candidate for lipodissolve. But all these terrible horror stories are making me scared. Did you have any bad swelling at all, and what did you do that helped it? Or did you change your diet after the procedure? Any info on what you did differently to help you get such wonderful results, if anything, would be very appreciated!

Hi! I have bee considering lipodissolve but to be honest I am extremely frightened. I am considering it in my stomah/love handles area but I dont want "lumpiness" like I have read in a few of the other posts. What are your thoughts? Is it worth it? The place that I am considering having it done at is a MedSpa not physician office. Thanks!

Please do not do lipodissolve. I had 4 treatments a piece done on my lower and upper abs 1 year ago and could not regret it more. My stomach has had no changes and still feels very tender to the touch. It's been over a year and I am now experiencing abdominal tingling (probably from nerve damage) and a couple hardened lumps that feel like masses in the abdomen (especially right above my belly button). Also, my left carotid artery often pulsates, which scares me because I feel like Im about to have a stroke or heart attack. I have read that the fat that gets dissolved sometimes gets clogged in the arteries as it's getting processed in the bloodstream to be excreted out. I am in my 30's and weigh 135 lbs and may be on my way to a stroke or heart attack way before my time. You cannot reverse this procedure. Please be aware.
