Lipodissolve is a popular non surgical liposuction alternative in North America because it offers many benefits including instant fat reduction while curbing the risk as well as the cost of liposuction surgery or other body contouring procedures. It uses a chemical injection technique to remove small amounts of fat from particular regions of the body.
Lipodissolve injection is used to remove fat from various parts of the body. The most common areas are the arms, legs, belly, and face or chin. It is an effective and very low risk solution for many people who want to sculpt a very particular part of their body without having to go through a full surgical procedure. The chemical that is injected into the area breaks down the fat by forcing the fat molecules apart from each other. This breakdown liquefies the fat which is then removed by the body’s natural cleansing system.
Lipodissolve Risks
One of the greatest advantages that Lipodissolve offers is that it liberates patients from the common risks that are associated with other surgical procedures like liposuction. Although serious complications are rare, there is the risk of unpredictable side effects when the treatment is crossed with pre-existing health conditions such as various cancers or diabetes. In very rare cases, some patients might experience various degrees of allergic reactions to the solution.
Much less serious side effects include lumps, bruises, or tenderness to the treated area. These may be caused by different factors and how the skin reacts to the injection but are often mild and will go away with time. The only problem is that if these side effects are present then it will slow down the recovery process.
The relatively quick recovery time from Lipodissolve treatment is one of the greatest benefits of Lipodissolve injections and is one reason why it is popular among people with busy schedules. Most patients are able to return to their normal day to day activities after just a day of rest barring any excessively physically demanding activity.
However, an FDA warning about Lipodissolve has been issued regarding the safety and validity of some claims made by the major medical spas that offer Lipodissolve.
Lipodissolve Costs
Another advantage to this option of instant fat removal is the economical and affordable nature of being a small scale treatment. Lipodissolve costs are often much less than any type of liposuction, tuck, or lift that would otherwise be used to produce nearly the same results. Pound for pound it is one of the best deals considering its cost effectiveness. While it can be hard to offer any accurate cost estimate and it is highly recommended that anyone considering Lipodissolve consult a certified physician, listed below are the average costs of Lipodissolve per treatment area.
| Treatment Area | Average Cost |
| Abdominal | $300-$800 |
