Lipodissolve - Alternative to Liposuction
Lipodissolve is a new treatment option that offers patients an alternative to liposuction. It will allow people to get the fat reduction that they’ve been looking for through injection therapy. The substances that are injected into the body include vitamins, enzymes, and a substance derived from soy that is known as phosphatidylcholine. The combination of these substances essentially melts the fat that they are injected to, causing a loss of weight and inches for patients who receive this treatment. The PPT or phosphatidylcholine is a product that naturally occurs in the body already, which means that there is no risk for allergic reaction or complications with the injected substances.
Lipodissolve is done in small injections to break down fat and also helps in increasing metabolism, liver, and cell functions. This product is new to the U.S. but has been used in countries around the world for years as a safer alternative to liposuction surgery for people who need fat reduction with fewer risks. The substances work together to break down the bonds that hold fat cells together, which dissolves the fat and causes it to be eliminated from the body. With this treatment, little to no fat is reabsorbed by the body.
Lipodissolve is very safe compared to other cosmetic procedures. However, like any cosmetic injection, it can pose risks for certain people on rare occasions. Those who need fat reduction without the destruction or invasive nature of traditional liposuction can count on this procedure to provide them with the results that they need. Some patients have complained of minor pain or burning near the injection site, as well as itching, soreness, or swelling which are all temporary and subside within a matter of hours in most cases. The worst cases reported relief within 48 to 72 hours of all side effects and after effects of the treatment.
Liposuction causes permanent damage to fat cells, along with nerve damage in some cases. It can also cause infection, bleeding, and other complications. It is essentially major surgery and can cause a lot of issues in some cases. Most people have successful results with the procedure, but if you want to start with a safer procedure that can produce similar results, Lipodissolve is a procedure worth considering. You do need to consider your options and discuss your specific situation with your doctor so that you can choose the procedure that is best for you, as you would with any procedure that you have done in cosmetic surgery.
