lipo dissolve anyone?

Kitty · Hermes

What is it?

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

If I remember correctly, it's an injection of something that dissolves the fat cells, and then will continue to dissolve any future fat cells.

Or something like that.

I'd take it in a heartbeat though, for the back fat that won't die!

Kitty · Hermes

I've never heard of it..is this through a plastic surgeon or somehing?

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

My mom's ob/gyn was telling her about this on her last visit. I think my mom was complaining about how she works out and still has stomach fat. I digress..

Anyways. They doc was pretty positive about the procedure and said she had had it done. She did the laser procedure where they run a laser over whatever you want lipo'd and then you leave and your body will disolve fat off your body area for about a week. She said its good for trouble areas and about 5-10 pounds. I'm not sure the lasting effects of it.

That just seems so weird...I just get the picture of someone staring in the mirror to watch the fat dissolve. weirdface

Im odd...

its spendy...i guess we'll have to wait until I am making the big bucks as a social worker...NOT

I knew someone who had this done. She lost the weight unevenly and she sorta looked lumpy........ I don't know if she got a bad procedure or if she did something wrong.. it just didn't look right.

That makes sense and that's actually what I was thinking. With traditional lipo, they can countour the body and remove fat evenly and where needed. This seems to have the potential to go wrong..

i read an article in allure about it maybe 9 months ago, and they had mixed reviews about it. they had said that it is great, but they had interviewed several women who had it and it disolved skin and muscle tissue as well. they showed a picture of a womans inner upper arm where she had it done, and she had these huge scabby blistery puss-y things all over where it had disolved her skin but no fat. reading the article was enough for me to make up my mind against it.

i found this site about it.

Teresa · Kate Spade

okay, i was about to fall asleep earlier and remembered something about it...it is meant for placed where you wouldnt typically get liposuction, like your face. You know what i mean? somewhere sensitive that they cant shove a tube in. Here is where I heard about it. The doctor they interview is very reputable. He does stuff for my mom.

Definetely when you talk about non-surical technique, then lipodissolve treatment is one of the best. If you have any confusion regarding lipodissolve, then I must tell you that lipodissolve is not a weight loss procedure but it helps you to get rid of localized fat deposits without causing any harm. It is painless treatment and gives you best results within 2-3 weeks. You may have some kind of deformities with lipodissolve treatment but you will recover soon within a week.
