I got my 1st treatment in September of 2006. I just came home from my 6th one. They first tell you that you will have 6 treatments and ONE month after your last one, you will be measured, weighed and your pictures will be re-taken to see if there were any progress. If you arent happy you will have to go through 3 additional treatments at no cost. Now, on my last one, I get told they want to see me after TWO months, not ONE. And I asked okay then I will only have to do 3 more to complete my agreement and if it doesnt work and I am not 100% I get my money back? NOPE! NOW, they tell me I might have to go up to 12, that is 6 more! Im sure they only do this because they think people will just get fed up and walk away from it. I dont know about everyone else but I paid 6,000.00 for three sections to be HAPPY! Not unhappy. I left crying and frustrated, not because of the injections (which are highly painful by the way) but because I am frustrated. Please people, do not get this done. If you have 4-5k laying around, get the actual liposuction done. Its worth it. I will NEVER tell anyone to get this done. I feel that it didnt work. And if I am not happy after the 9th one, like I signed my contract for, you better believe I will not just keep my arms crossed. I hope to meet someone who can file a law suit against them or something. This just isnt right.

I started treatments in june of 06 in Overland Park at the advanced lipo dissolve they changed there name to FIG now.....I also had lost nothing....I feel like it is causing me to gain weight also......Im 24 years old im not over weight and was also a perfect canidate they told me. They talked me into doing the swan program........I requested a refund in feb of 07 and found out the end of march I was approved for my full $10,000 and it could take up to 60 days to recieve.......it is now june 1st 2007 and have yet to see any of my money. They keep giving me the run around. I was told 10 weeks ago my account is in accounting and when my money is credited back to my account they will call me and to stop calling them.....I don't think they acually give your money back....I have contacted the better business bureau and the attorny generals office today so hopefully someone can help me out here.......UPDATE: Finally after 5 months I recieved my money back........after finding out they were turned in the sent the money imediatly! Tell them you can not take the pain anymore and get loud and cause a scene and they will do wnatever they can to make you happy

You have no idea what I have been going through....well maybe you do.... Like I said, I just got my 6th one. I guess the contract I signed said up to 9 treatments. At this point, I dont want to give up!!! However, I dont think that 9 or 12 will work. I want my money back. They told me I was a a perfect candidate too! Funny! And did you know they no longer advertise "money back guarateed?" Yeah, well I wasnt really over weight either. Im 5'5 160 lbs. I really paid for this (6,000.00) to be happy. Not almost one year later to STILL be unhappy. I have a couple questions for you: How many total treatments did you do? I looked on BBB and looked up FIG and I didnt see any complaints??? Where can I look under? What did the attyorneys office say about this case? Did you ever get a copy of the contract you signed and did you have to have this to get your money back? I dont care if it takes a year to get my money back, I just dont want to pushed to the point to give up and not pay them back. That is my credit, that is my future, I cant let them get away with this! Please email me back! I sure need the help! Thanks, Darla in Las Vegas

Darla in Las Vegas, I had the same problem when looking for complaints on FIG, all of the complaints are listed under Advanced LipoDissolve. Seems the name change has shielded the 1000s of complaints on the company but they are there. I would recommend discontinuing treatment with fig and going to a real MD. I have also read several post here indicating that their solution is diluted with a herbal mixture. After going to FIG and being quoted double what my friend was charged I decided to look around. I have found several MDs in the Houston Metro area that is half of what Fig charges and you pay per treatment vs. a bundle package.

Hey there. Im so sorry you didnt learn about this prior to signing up for so many areas. I went back and they told me I HAVE to do ATLEAST 9 total. Which that is what I signed, I will do that. But no more. I dont know what to tell you other than fight it. I really wish this website was available to me before I signed up. I hope it all goes well honey. Just dont give up. My next (evaluation) is on the 4th of Aug, I will keep you posted and let you know how it ends up! Best of Luck!

Well I was on the Swan program so I had completed 7 treatments in my upper abs 9 in my lower abs 7 in my inner thighs 7 love handles 6 upper back 1 in my arms (Hurt too much and still was tender a month later) 6 in my face Chin and lower cheek area I went to bbb.com and typed in advanced lipo dissolve center and or fig. BBB didn't require me to submit anything but the attorney general wanted copies of everything...I recieved my money back before I needed to submit anything. Oce you submit to the bbb the company has 10 days to reply is what I was told. I also called and worned them I had turned them in and an employee said she would have done the same thing if she was me. As for the contract you should have gotten a copy the day you were treated or payed for the services...If you know of someone at the office that you went to enough call and ask for them and tell them what is going on and if they can help you deal with the corprate office....That is what I had to do since you cant find any one to trust in st. louis...they were all rude to me and were never helpful what so ever....I lady from my office tried to be helpful but she was never able to find out anything more than I could. I would just turn them in to the bbb and let them handle it and then call them and tell them you were tired of the run around and you turned them into the bbb and to be expecting a letter from them and see how quick they are to refund your money. When I submitted for my refund they said I was working on too many areas at once......They cut me back to one area my lower abs and told me if I finished one area up to 9 and it didnt work they would give me my money back. The last 2 times I went in they injected 30cc in my lower abs, the fianl time I could not sit down right after the was finished injecting me I was in the worst pain I had ever felt I still had nodules from the time before that......They sent in a nurse to do a laser treatment and all she could say is wow she really got you this time....I got really loud and told her I guess this is the price i gotta pay to get a f-in refund from this place....Then I heard people talking in the other rooms asking what was going on and explaining how its not always 100% effective in all patients but if you follow the program and don't see any results you can submit for a refund and if you folloewd the program you could recieve some.....not all of your money back......they then moved me into another wing so no one else could hear me...I had to go in the next day to have another laser treatment done and I was taken into a room as soon as I walked in and put into a corner away from everyone else. they also gave me a prescription that nocked me out and made me sick when I woke up. I could not even move my head w/o feeling sick. Im just glad its all over with....Good luck to you and hopefully you will see your money soon!

Dont put in an address just type in the name most complaints go to the corprat locatoin since all the offices claim they have nothing to do with refunds once they are submitted
