How do I know if LipoDissolve is right for me?
You may be a candidate for
LipoDissolve if you have small areas
of fat deposits that need reduction, or you are unable to
undergo liposuction. During your consultation the physician will
evaluate your condition and profile, and decide whether
LipoDissolve is the right solution for you.
How effective is LipoDissolve?
Results may vary depending on the site that is treated. Most
patients can expect a reduction of two to six centimeters or one
to two inches of fat deposits per treatment.
Will the fat return after LipoDissolve treatment?
The fat will return if you gain more weight in the future.
Follow-up observations of
LipoDissolve have shown that the fat
deposits often stay off quite well in the treated area even if
some overall weight gain is experienced.

Can results become uneven?
Different injection techniques can be used for
fat reduction. In
procedures for fat reduction there have been no reports to date
of unevenness in the injection areas. Often
LipoDissolve has
been used to correct uneven effects from other procedures, such
as liposuction and lipoplasty. However, we use an additional
treatment of suction/massage ultrasound that assists in evening
out the solution to insure a smooth and even result.

Is LipoDissolve safe?
Yes, it is considered very safe. It is a mixture of naturally
occurring substances that we eat every day. The mixture that is
injected is primarily a combination of phosphatidylcholine also
known as soy lecithin and B vitamins. Dietary supplements of
phosphatidylcholine or lecithin are advocated for the treatment
of Alzheimer’s disease.
Thousand of treatments have been given and no serious adverse
event has been reported.
What are the side effects?
Common
side effects might include some light burning, bruising,
swelling and aching in the area injected. Women should avoid
treatment just before and during their menstrual period, as this
may create a greater degree of discomfort and swelling.
Cellulite treatment is generally more uncomfortable but this can
be reduced with topical anesthetics or ice.
Dr. Vincent will explain during your consultation and treatment
reactions that are both common and rare and what side effects
can be expected.
Do the injections hurt?
Most
people experience mild discomfort from the injections. The
needle is very small: the same size that is used to give an
insulin injection. Some people report a mild soreness at the
injection after the shots are given. This soreness can last up
to a week. However, a pain reliever is included in the
injection solution.

How long is the downtime or recovery?
Depending on the body area treated, patients often return to
normal activity immediately after treatment. Patients having
facial treatments for a double chin or facial fat may have
extensive and unattractive swelling and may wish to stay off
work for three to four days, although this is not necessary. The
normal time for swelling to resolve is one week. Some minor
swelling or soreness may persist longer.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies from patient to patient and body areas targeted. It
is normal that results are seen in one to four sessions,
although your case can differ
How long does it take to work?
The
treatments take about 30 minutes to perform. Initially there is
some increased swelling for up to a week. It takes six to eight
weeks for the full body sculpting effect to occur and the
inflammatory process to be complete.
Treatments
are repeated every six weeks. If you address large body areas,
such as the abdomen, and require several sessions, you may
notice minimal results between the first and second session.
Many smaller areas, like a double chin, often give satisfactory
results two months after a single session.
Results vary from patient to patient. Sculpting can be very
dramatic in some patients and have excellent cosmetic results,
while minor in others depending on their body type and metabolic
profile.
